Applicant from PhD program after 5 Nov, 2011 connect here to get status

[The_Prince]

Hello guys,

I applied under the FSWP as a PhD student in September 2012. Yesterday, December 3 I received my returned application in the mail with an explanation letter saying that the cap has been filled therefore I am not eligible to apply under FSW for 2011.

Now my question to you guys is that did anyone receive the same letter of rejection for their application? If yes, then can you please share your experience and your actions after you received the letter?

Thanks!

aler123, where r u, we need more details plz !

I don't understand why we are making it complicated!!!!!! Cap was filled on September and any application reached after that will be returned. The cap was supposed to be reset on 5 November and I am 100% sure it did. So, any application reached after 5 November will be processed. I don't think there is anything else in between!!!!

Do u think it would be reasonable to get applications reached CIO before NOV 1 returned, while those reached after NOV 1 get processed !!?
BTW, 99% the application returned yesterday for aler123 was opened after NOV 1.

I don't think they would return applications reached before NOV 1 and process those reached after that, it does not make sense by any means

Guys,

Seems I am the latest PER guy in the statistic form. A few weeks ago (before PER), I sent email to CIO asking whether they received my package and supplemental letter. And today I got the reply, stating that:

"Your file was transferred to Case Processing Pilot Ottawa (CPPO). As your file is no longer in our office, please direct your enquiries and additional information to that office. Their email address is: OttPilot-immigration @ cic.gc.ca"

Is CPPO the same place for you guys' application?

"The current cap year for the PhD stream ends on October 31, 2012, and unless otherwise indicated in a future Ministerial Instruction, the cap will be automatically reset on November 1, 2012." quoted from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob438.asp

So OBVIOUSLY any application reached before November 1 WILL BE RETURNED and any application reached on or after 1 November WILL BE PROCESSED. WHICH PART HERE DIDN'T MAKE SENSE??!!!! Pls refrain from introducing confusion among applicants.

Yes, I agree with you. I sent my application package for the third time, it reached them on Nov 19, 2012. They would probobly consider it under the new cap.

When ur application reaches CIO on OCT 31 and another application reaches CIO on NOV 1, with a few hours difference in time by which each application is received, ur application is returned back and the other is processed, do u think this makes sense !

BTW, there is no need for statements like "Pls refrain from introducing confusion among applicants" and there is no need for enlarged colored fonts. Plz keep it friendly

No news so far.

Let us have some hope and wait till we see more cap-related application returns.
Feb2004, any news !

I also agree with snow_walker. As per the CIC website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp), it states for PhD Stream "(A maximum of 1,000 applications from this category will be considered for processing each year. This will not be included in the total for any other cap. Applications will be considered in the order they are received. The first cap year for the PhD stream began on November 5, 2011.)".

This means that the cap is reset on one year after 5 November 2011. So, on 5th November 2012, the cap is reset. Any application received on or after 5th November should be considered under new cap cycle.

Please also note that this CIC webpage was last updated on 2012-11-07 (can be seen at the bottom of the page).

if you applied after Nov 1st then yes. Hope yours was not open before that, as I believe it wasn't.

I wish this is so, but the instruction in the Op Manual says applications are processed in the order in which they are received. That means my application was likely received on 26th of Oct. Sucks! if they return it though.
