If your work experience was in Canada, the salary is a way low. It shouldn't be lower than around $20/hr for a research assistant. For out of Canada it's OK.

I refer you to "hadikhan64" who was asked to present this letter: "Employment Reference Letter: A letter of reference from your employer indicating how many hours are spent in each role: Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant, and PhD student. " Why he was asked for such a letter?! Is there...

Don't you ask yourself why they didn't accept the letters!? While everybody who was rejected presented somehow well written letters! If you want I can bring back some of them which was posted here. The obvious reason is that they didn't considered that work as RA. For everyone in this forum...

To answer your post, I quote a post from past in the forum here: also I am sure everybody accepts that work is different from the study and everything toward your study wont be consider as work. That's right that either PhD student and RA publish their results in journal papers however they...

According to our experience in this forum, if you work on a project which is already your PhD project and you don't have any contract with the department/supervisor as a "research assistant", you wont be eligible to receive any work experience letter as "research assistant" no matter how many...

If one already had a work permit he/she could apply for a study permit while having the work permit valid!

Yes, it's possible. By definition full time student is one who studies at least 20 hours per week. So, one can work 37.5 hours and be a full time worker as an RA.

Your family there explain them your situation that the embassy is closed and you are not able to do it here in Canada and you need it asap.

Here is a way proposed by someone in the forum: "First you have to have a copy of your old PCC. Go to the "Daadsaraaye sejele keifari", there you have to talk to the "Namaayandeye Daadsetan". He will see your PCC and you will explain the situation. Then he will write a letter to "Agaahi". You...

Unfortunately I was sick and couldn't work it out yet. As soon as I find new ideas I will update everyone here.

One of them was student at that time and is still student (!) and is going to defend soon but he has a relative out of QC. I'm working on this issue and trying to find a solution. Lawyers have different suggestions like having job offer, documents showing you are looking for job there, ....

By the regulations I meant "Regulation 75(1)" which has not changed since 2002 to the best of my knowledge! Although, at the same time that those people got PR, there were others that got rejection due to the same reason we are discussing here.

I know couple of people who got PR while residing in QC. They applied under FSW but different categories and never asked for docs to show their intention, although the regulations are the same. I think this is this ottowa VO that started asking this redicoulus intention issue. I even asked a...

This is the code for 2006, the right code is 4012 for 2011 classification!

From your post seems you have the original of your degree with you, am I right? If so, why don't you translate it here?

This is a phrase they put in every refusal letter. If you looked at other refusal letters in the forum, you would find the very same phrase in all of them.

At first the officer states two subsections and then the decision made by himself.

Sorry to hear that and I also suggest you to appeal. May be the reason is that they ask for money which is "available" to spend but an investment is not an available money and you have some kind of commitment to keep that money for a certain time.

This is a good idea, increase your balance and just present the BS. They may not ask you for history!

Undoubtedly sending a complete application is the best way to save time but not the only way to succeed. Every opinion we post here is either our interpretation of regulations or obtained experiences as we are not immigration lawyer. Even a lawyer might believe in an idea which a cic officer...
