Folks,

I need your guys help.

I started my current job on Dec. 1, 2012. Therefore, I will have one year full-time working experience on Dec. 1, 2013. But IELTS will be two year old on Dec 3, 2013. And Dec 1 is Sunday, therefore I can not submit my application on on Dec 1. But some friend told me that I can submit my application on Nov 29 (Friday), which is the last day of my one year working experience. And I will have my reference letter signed on Nov 29.

If I submit my application on Dec 2 (Monday), my application can only reach CIO on Dec 3, and I am not sure if my IELTS is still valid on Dec 3.

I need your suggestions on when I should submit my application. Nov 29 or Dec 2? Thanks.

Hello there,

Good to hear from you again! Congratulations for your thesis defence, and for moving to Ontario. I think you'll hear a positive decision from Ottawa very soon, as you proved your intention in residing out of Quebec.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot N_O, tried to cover all possible tracks but until a decision is made, its like hanging by the noose. All should be good. I wonder where Kazi is????

The way I see it is, most probably when CIC gets to process your application your English test result will be expired, and they might ask you to submit a new one, so why don't you take some time and rewrite your IELTS?

Hi guys,

I have a problem and I do appreciate if anyone here can help me with that.

I am a third-year PhD student in Quebec and I am planning to apply for Federal SW under PhD stream (I don't have CSQ). I have heard from many students that they got rejected because they couldn't provide enough evidence showing that they will live outside of Quebec after graduation!
Is it right? Do you know any student in Quebec who got PR from PhD program? What kind of evidence do I need to provide (I don't have any family in Canada; and the only reason that I don't want to stay in Quebec is because of French language)?

Could you help me with your suggestions? Thanks in advance.

As long as my package reach CIO before the expiration day, I am fine. I live near CIO, so it is possible. The next available time to take IELTS in the city I lived is in March, 2014.....so.....I will submit my application through Fedex on Dec 2nd. Thanks.

I am not sure if this is true or not, but I guess the reason my application was rejected is because I did not have the term "assisting" in any of the duties in my RA letter, I did have the lead statement sentence "as a research assistant, he is assisting me in the research activities of ...". I think that is why they said in the refusal letter that "as the letters of reference you submitted listed duties that do not match the actions of the lead statement under the NOC code you selected."
any ideas?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! We are in the same boat, man. What can you do about it...

Really?!! Even the updated letter didn't mention that you were assisting the professors in those duties?!

You're welcome!
He has been inactive for almost 2 weeks, I hope he got his medicals!

no, I thought only the lead statement must be there, not repeating assisting for each duty!

That is the case for sure. That is funny though.
