7. Track the application

   Under "track my application" the state of the file can be seen at any stage, and required documents added or replaced. Email notifications are also sent as the file progresses.

   An application is set aside if the form contains material errors — a certificate that does not match, or a specialisation inconsistent with the applicant’s academic background.
