    For the first question, I do not know what the source are you using. According to CIC website, you need to have at least one year of full time work experience (or equivalent part time) in Skill type 0, or level A or B and it includes RA/TA (NOC 4012). So, they still accept RA/TA. For the second...

    Thanks Aalm. It was very useful. Is your GCMS based on the points you got from Sydney or from Ottawa? Because Sydney is awarding these points to all PhD applicants but not sure about Ottawa decision. And why didn't they give you the points for relative? is there any reason mentioned in GCMS for...

    Since we are not still sure about adaptability point for two years PhD study(not completing the program); I am in dilemma of asking for full time RA (the realistic one) or part time one. In fact the only person after may 2013 is Sarsanballa to whom Ottawa awarded those 5 points. Still no one...

    Thanks Aalm. You are totally right. There is no definite rule and that makes us confused since I really worked at least for 30 hours for my supervisor (not for my Phd study)and in addition to that, I spent some times for my study. Now, I do not know whether to ask for 30 hours or more or just...

    Would you please clarify it more. I think CIC knows that RA does not include tax and for that reason they exclude it from CEC stream. I do not understand that if it is not taxed then, there is again no difference between claiming for 20 hours and 30 hours? because for part time job still you are...

    Thank you very much for your answer. I think full time work is 30 hrs per week (source:cic website). Besides, we should not consider our study as work! So, in this case we only work for 30 hours and 15 hours for our study and our supervisor is not responsible to pay us for our study. Your study...

    Hi Chakri, As I asked you before, I wanna know why we cannot claim for 30hrs for RA when it only adds 1 hour work per day (in compare with 25hrs) and we can get more points. Actually, I believe that it is possible to study 15 hrs and work 30 hrs as RA. This is completely true in my case. Why...

    Hello cdhbamboo, I am new here. Since you have applied after may 2013 , you can help me a lot by answering my two questions. I have a big concern about them. 1. Did both Sydney and Ottawa (especially Ottawa) give the 5 points of adaptability for only 2 years of Phd study (not finishing the...

    I have a question. Between 25 hours and 30 hours, there are only 5 hrs differences which means one more hour work per day. When a researcher can claim 30 hours per week and get 2 more point (for two years experience), why does she/he claim for 20 or 25 hours? I know some of my friends got PR by...

    Hello Guys, I am new here. I have a question from those who applied after May 2013. Does Sydney give the 5 points of adaptability to those Phd who have finished 2 years study but not finished their program? I know that two applicants got this point (Sarsanballa and someone else). I just want to...
