I got rejected while I had already sent them my updated reference letter. They had simply forgot to consider my updated letter as it was not even added to my file. After getting rejected, I just sent them an e-mail asking them why the officer did not consider my updated letter. After 2-3 weeks, I got the response saying that they never received the updated letter! I was told if I cannot prove that their office received the updated letter before their date of final decision, the final decision would remain valid. Fortunately, I could prove my case, and the person who took care of my case was a responsible one.

Just wanted to let you know in case it might help you.
Thanks man, but my CAIPS shows that the letters are added to my file, how about your case? does your CAIPS show they were received and added to your file?

Thanks man, do you know if they had any problems with your original letter? for example, did SL put any notes in your CAIPS shows that they were not going to accept it?
You're welcome :)
SL did not accept my old letter.

Hopefully, your file will be reopened soon :)

What is the photo requirement for the medical examination? Is it the same as the ones that were submitted with the initial application?. Also, could anyone in GTA who has completed this formality advise me as to which DMP has e-medical facility enabled?. Please PM me the details if possible.

Thanks !

Hi, i am a phd student in Quebec as well. is it ture that "the officer needs the proof for staying out of quebec, unless it is close to graduation or already living in another city out of quebec"???

Hi guys,

I just saw that the processing time has increased to 25 months. Is this the total time it takes to get PR visa if everything goes well? I am in my 2.5 years in phd but from Quebec. From what I read here the officer needs the proof for staying out of quebec, unless it is close to graduation or already living in another city out of quebec. with 13 months processing time I was thinking of delaying my application but now with 25 month I think by then I should be already finish my phd and moved out of quebec. Do you think with this new processing time I can buy more time if I apply now?

Congrats to those who have got progress on their applications. :))

By the way, I just received the GCMS notes, and one good news CPP-O still accepts RA/TA work experience and five points from adaptability for two years of Ph.D. study is also given.

Hope all of us will keep hearing good news. Stay happy, people. :)
