Hi everyone. I have a question and I read many pages in this thread, but it is still not clear.

If the job is part time continuous under the same NOC with the same employer, but the job title changes during that time frame in less than one year, would that count as continuous job experience?

I have a friend who lives in the US and has been a TA or RA since August 2014.
He worked for 20 hrs per week. However, his job title has been changing from TA to RA every year. So he has equivalent of almost 2.5 years of full-time experience, but it is not 1560 hours under the same title. There is no gap between his jobs. One ends today and the next one starts right the next day, and they are all under the same NOC and with the same supervisor. but they just changed his job title every year. Would that be considered a continuous job even though his title changed?

Also his title in HR system is Graduate research Assistant and Graduate Teaching Assistant which are different from the list of the titles under that NOC. Can he write his actual titles? or should the titles be exactly similar to the ones on NOC website?

I'm already living and working in Vancouver. I just want to save waiting time for the medical results and have all my papers ready to submit as soon as I receive my ITA. That's why I want to know if I can schedule a medical exam in the coming days before getting the ITA.
You need to wait till you get an invitation. otherwise how doctor send your documents to IRCC?
Medical is not a big deal. It is just one day. So don't bother.

What matters is duties performed. I have no idea what TA &RA means.
If the duties match with NOC code, it shouldn't be a problem. You can explain in LOE about the change in title.
You can claim part time equivalent to full time

Thank you for your reply. Hi duties also changed. As a teaching assistant, he helped the prof with teaching. As a research assistant, he helped the prof with research. Would that be an issue?

Hi Everyone,

While uploading the educational documents do we need to upload the mark sheet also? Also, will just the degree certificate,ECA hold good?

Some of my documents are not color copies. Can we use that or is it compulsory that CIC accepts only color scan copies.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
At the last years of my university studies, I was working for a company and my job title was Mechanical engineer but my duties were similar to a technician because I was studying at that moment. I want to know that is it a good idea to ask my employee to put technician as my job title? is it considered as misrepresentation?
The reason I want to do this is that it might be confusing for the officer that how I was an engineer while studying in university!

Hi,

If you can find a specific management NOC that matches your experience try "1111 Financial auditors and accountants"
This may work.

Hi,

If you were studying outside Canada, it doesn't matter. Foreign work experience gained while studying is acceptable. So your job title does not matter.

All the best

Hi,

1. Degree certificates and the ECA are more than enough. No need for mark sheet.
2. All document should be in their original colour. So you need to scan all documents as they are. If the original is in black and white then its fine. If not, it may cause problems.

regards

Hi,

This is continuous work experience. As advised, just explain this in you LOE.
The job title does not matter as long as the duties and responsibilities match.

Kind regards

Thanks Tanaka.

Actually I answered NO to this question before ITA.

Now after ITA, same question is there for primary as well as dependent section.
I have answered YES in both primary and dependent sections Immigration history(with same UCI (old) in both sections and same File# mentioned)
And in statutory questions as well.


a) Should I decline ITA and again come back to pool to rectify the answer in next draw?
b) Should I answer YES everywhere in primary and dependent's immigration history and statutory questions and send them in LOE about the mistake done before ITA?

Which option should I go with?
a)
or
b)

Appreciate your response.
Thanks.
Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Do not decline the ITA, you are allowed to change information pos-ITA as long as you explain it.
Answer all questions truthfully and explain in your LOE. (option B)

Don't worry, all will be well.
