You are welcome. I am hoping to submit by application by the end of this month. Wish me luck. :)
What documents you will provide to proof your RA and TA work experience. I guess a letter from the supervisor is enough or we have to get some documents from the university?

University will provide me with a letter stating details of positions held, hours worked, amounts paid. My supervisor is giving me a letter stating job responsibilities.

1. Yes. Working legally. As your study permit lets you do research work. Research work does not need any work permit.
2. Studying full-time.
3. NOC 4012.
4. Any other work experience you can show under your personal details section. They ask you to give previous 10 years personal details after you get ITA.
One other question regarding this issue. Under the occupation section after selecting NOC 4012 as the primary occupation, there is a question saying:

Date you first became qualified to practice in this occupation
If the "primary occupation" is:
-a qualified trade (four-digit code begins with 632, 633, 72, 73, 82, 92), this is the date they became qualified to practice on their own in Canada. (For example, when they moved from apprentice to being a licensed tradesperson.)
-any other job, this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)

I have Master degree in Canada in which I was working as a RA and TA and that's the NOC 4012 I'm claiming. What should be the answer? is it the date I got my Bachelor from my home country or the date I enrolled in the Master program? Thank you.

I entered the date I started to work as an RA. I am not expert on this. I am just telling what I did.

My phd was working as Research Assistant mainly focus on research, could I evaluate as NOC2121 instead of NOC 4012?

Because if I could evaluate NOC2121 in my Ph.D as RA, I will have more points..
I used 4012 in my application. I am now passing IP2 and waiting for PPR.

May I ask is your NOC 4012 experience inside or outside Canada? Were you on student visa or work visa when you earned the experience? Thanks!
I am a Ph.D. student in the United States. All of my RA experience I claimed on EE was gained while I was on student visa.

Hi,
Could you please let me know how many points you were able to fetch for your RA/TA duties ?
I am in the process of updating it in my express entry profile ?
