No. You live in Canada, been here for some years. No need to undergo that.

Thanks!
 
I need to send my application but I am not sure of the cap is reached or not. on the CIC page it says: "there is a cap of 1,000 applications in this stream, from May 4, 2013 to April 30, 2014" . So does it mean that if I send my application after April 30 it will be rejected? should I wait for the next round? I am really confused here

I am really confused here. if say this round ends by end of April 2014, when does the new round begin? is it right after the April 30?

Don't worry about the cap. They'll just return your application if the cap is reached. You can then re-submit it after the cap is reset.
 
For those who have done medical, does it show up on the e-cas when they receive the medical results ?

Thanks. Do you have any idea how long after the cap is reached does the new round start ? (i.e. how long would I wait for them to reset the cap? )

Does anyone with similar progress have any update from CIC?
Thanks.

Check the tracker. They seem to be working on Dec '12 & Jan '13 applications.

It is still early to hear from them, you may want to order your GCMS notes to see your file progress.
I noticed that you are added to the tracker but many fields are missing, would you please post them to be added there?

Good luck!
 
hi, i have a few questions please: i'm in my second year of phd;

1) do you think i can use only my ra/ta funding letters as proof of funding? do you know anybody that has done that?

thanks
 
Hi guys,

I finally submitted my updated reference letters.
I received a general acknowledgement email, but should I expect to get a more specific reply?

Thanks again for all your support :)
 
this is kind of important to me, does anyone know how long should I wait after the 1000 cap is reached for the next round? will it be like several months?
 
Hi all. I'm just wondering if anyone can estimate how long the process here takes from the time your documents reach Sidney to the time you get your PR. Best case scenario, worst case scenario and averages will be appreciated. I know its hard to put a finger on it, but any response is welcomed. Thanks.

Same question here + for those from Quebec who were rejected because of the "intention to leave quebec" issue, at what stage (approximately how long after they first send out the application) does the officer tell them about his concerns about them leaving quebec and asks them to supply convincing documents?
 
No, you cannot. The required amount of money should be available in your account.
You must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you get to Canada. You cannot borrow this money from another person. You must be able to use this money to pay the costs of living for your family (even if they are not coming with you).

Wait a week then order your GCMS to make sure that they attached them to your file.

I think the new Capacity of PhD Stream will be reset on May, unless they cancelled this stream.

According to the tracker, it is between 18 to 25 months.
