My CC was cashed out today. It's little bit quick eh? Probably the reason is that's my re-application.

It seems it's speeding up....
OK, I've 2 applicants included, 1~2 year full time work experience (RA/TA not included), China.

Thank you, TyrusX.

smallkick and dj2009, congratulations!!!

It does look like that the process is getting faster (6 days to get credit card charged is incredible, and 33 days for PER was almost miraculous considering it took some of the earlier applicants 50+ days just to get cashed).

Anyway, I noticed that, so far, applicants with only TA/RA experience that have gotten PER so far all have more than 1 applicants in their applications. I wonder if this has got something to do with adaptability points.

So I'm wondering, dj2009, did you claim any adaptability points from your spouse?

Hello,
I got PER today. I got the email around 9am Mountain Time.
Which other info do you need?
I'm from Mexico.
I am probably the oldest in this blog, and I worked many years before my masters.
I claimed working experience in the Industry and a lot of TA and RA too.
Thank you TyrusX for the updates.

Congrats amigo, many good news today! I just need the number of applicants so we can have a complete spreadsheet. I think asberet has been helping to update the spreadsheet as well.

Congratulations rgb!!! And TyrusX, I have never updated the spreadsheet, so I think you're giving me more credit than I deserve

Anyway, they finally get into processing February applicants, hopefully everybody else that applies in November, December, January and February will get their PER really soon (though it also means squeaky bum time for me...)

where are you from?

 

[phdapplicant]

It's almost 100 days for me, but no PER yet. I did call CIC to ask about the status, but they was unable to tell me anything, except that my application had been received in December.

I'm giving up my hope ;D

Anyway, here is my additional info:
No. of applicants: 2
TA/RA experience: Other + included
Nationalities: Vietnam

Thanks for this . My suspicion right now is that they do check the validity of the documents somehow, and different countries have different levels of thrust inside CIC.
But better put this idea on the list of crazy speculations. If everyone updates their nationality, we can confirm if there is such a trend or not.
