You must be either
Not more than 1,000 applications will be considered for processing each year in the PhD stream. These applications will not be included in the total for any other cap. Applications will be considered in the order they were received.
The last cap year began on November 1, 2012, and ended on May 3, 2013. The new cap year began on May 4, 2013, and will end on April 30, 2014.
If you are eligible, your application will be sent to one of immigration offices for processing. They will assess the rest of your application. Once they have started this process, you cannot demand a refund on your fee.
If you got an Educational Credential Assessment, it does not guarantee you a job in your field or that you will be able to get a license in Canada. If you plan to work in an occupation that is regulated in Canada, you should contact the regulatory authority in the province where you plan to live. They can give you important information about getting your license, including any steps you can take before you leave your home country.

- a graduate of a PhD program in Canada who:
- graduated no more than 12 months before the date we get your application, and
- did not get an award which required you to return to your home country to apply your knowledge and skills (or did, but have already met the terms of the award).
