I got my application returned in 20 December. They had received my application 6 October.
And the reason for the return was :the cap was full!!
 
Dear seniors

i applied under FSW category in jun 2009 and got rejection in 2012

the reason of rejection was miscalculation of job experience duration by the Visa officer, i send the reconsideration request but it was also rejected. now i am doing my MS in Business Administration and planning to start my Phd in Management Sciences from canada in next year

i am here to get all the information and tips regarding to be eligible and to get admission in Phd program from canada.

can u people advise on which areas should i start working at least 1 year before what could be the general requirements of Canadian universities for phd and what could be the strengthen points to get approval for admission

Other applicants here have also got their applications back for the same reason, it seems that the cap was reached by third week of Sep.

What ojohn22 was referring to would be the new regulation for CEC. They have made a proposition that any Canadian work experience gained while also doing full-time studies in Canada will not count. But then again, this is only for CEC. I don't think we have heard anything about FSW yet.

Hi Asbereth.

I totally agree with you that it only applies to CEC. I realized the amendment is under Section 87.1 which is CEC.
 
Hi guys,

Just to let you know that I sent a letter requesting my application back if they can not place it in the 2011/2012 batch.

I made it clear for them to treat it as return post, so there would not be any need to 'place it in processing' where it would lie for heaven knows how long only for it to be returned due to cap full.
My message, in summary was- Just return my application as is-unopened. So I can resend it asap.

If I wait, at this pace, I wont get it back till February and I am hoping this request will be treated within 2 weeks, as required
 
I finally got my application back this morning (cap reached).

The envelope of the language test report is open, do I have to order a new one ?

Mine is a CELPIP test. It was in an envelope sealed with a sticker and there was a statement on the sticker says "invalid if seal is broken". However there is nothing like that stated on the report itself and it do have a stamp. So what do you think ?

Is it necessary to use new forms ?!

I too used new forms while resubmitting. You can check the date at the bottom of the form, not all forms have changed. Then you have to sign all the forms with a new date too.
 
Replace the changed forms with news. Also i updated the fee payment too. Since the sign has to be updated. But the rest i havent touched at all. Even not put down the new date on the old forms. Just sent back as they are. But obviosly if u r sending the new forms they need a new sign date. Sign date doesnot matter as long as they are signed before it is reaching cio.

Last but not least. U need to use the uptodate forms for sure. They will reject it and send back otherwise. Just 2 forms lol no need to be lazy.

Mine will be at CIO on Dec. 28 at most.
