If you have sent any documents via email, you'll only get the default automatic response. The only way to confirm that they have received your documents is to email them again asking for a confirmation that they have received the documents and added them to your application. You may or may not...

Thanks N_O. I really hope it gets considered.

It is the work experience letter (POE = Proof of Employment/Experience). This abbreviation/acronym is used in my GCMS notes in the comment which indicates receiving my reference letter.

I just received my second set of GCMS notes this morning. Nothing much has changed from the previous one I received a month ago. The notes do confirm that they have received my updated reference letter by email and printed it and attached it to my file (a week after it was received). However, I...

Congratulations Kazi! I don't understand why they didn't consider your RA/TA experience! Now I'm worried about what I will find in the GCMS notes I'm expecting within a couple of weeks. :(

Hi kaziahmmed. Our application dates are close as well. But I ordered the GCMS notes on July 4th. I did get a confirmation from CPP-O that they received my updated reference letter. I'm still waiting for the notes to see whether they considered it or not. Hope it goes well for all of us.

Thank you very much for all the helpful pointers. I tried to make it as indicative as possible (full-name, UCI, file number, etc.) and as short as possible as well. I still haven't received a reply yet. But I'm trying to be optimistic.

Not yet. I just emailed them to ask for confirmation today. I only got the usual auto-response message when I sent the email.

I sent the letter by email on June 11th. And by XpressPost the very next day. There was even a delay in delivering it (Canada Post is really unreliable) and I sent another copy a few days later. Both copies arrived on the same day. I just emailed CPP-O to request a confirmation that the letter...

I have just received my GCMS notes as well. It was generated on June 3rd. And now I'm really worried. My application was analyzed by SL01732 on May 2nd! And again, I was not given any points for work experience since the officer indicates there was no lead statement. The file transfer history...

Thanks chakri264.. I have sent the email and will send them the letter by mail first thing tomorrow morning.

Hi guys, I obtained an updated work experience letter from my supervisor and included the lead statement as described in the NOC. I will email it and also sent it to Ottawa. Should I just mention that this is an updated letter in my email? Or do I need to explain anything?

Thank you all for your quick and detailed replies. They are very helpful. I will ask my supervisor for an updated letter and send it to CIC by email and express mail as soon as possible. My application reached CIO on June 28th last year. I can only hope they haven't reached a decision by now. :(

Dear All, My application was received about a year ago and I have requested the GCMS a week ago and currently waiting for it. I have been recently seeing more and more rejections due to problems with the reference/work experience letter. This is making me worried and I'm not quite sure what...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone who sent correspondences to CPP-O ended up with "LEFT IN MAIL ROOM" in the signatory field of the receiver when tracking the mailed item?!

I only went as far as sending copies of post-secondary education. This should be sufficient since you won't normally enter college unless you already graduated from secondary school. I did not need to translate them since I explicitly asked for English certificates. I believe a notarized copy is...

Apparently the requirements with regard to the letter of attestation have changed with time (or the officers' interpretation of these requirements). If you already got your PER and your application has been forwarded to the VO (which I believe is the case), I don't think you need to worry much...

It seems that the CIO is more strict now. I believe early applicants did not face these problems and their applications were forwarded to the VO. In the early days there was no strict requirement about the letter having a stamp or being in a sealed envelope and there was no template at all...

Ok, now I am getting worried. I don't think the letter of attestation that I got from the DGS at the time of application had a stamp/seal on it. It had the same information contained in the template on the CIC Web site now, but back then there was no mentioning of any stamps! I was wondering...

Dear All, My study permit will expire in 3-4 weeks. I'm currently out of the country and will be returning in a couple of weeks and will be travelling again soon after my return. I want to extend my study permit but the online application states that this is for those applying WITHIN Canada. I...
