    I think I see a pattern in the tracker. Those who are applying for the second time are getting document/medical request later than first-timers. Seems that they process the first time applications faster. Do you guys agree?

    I think you should put "member of the public". I checked what they mean by academia, and it means that you are going to use this data for research purposes. member of the public, on the other hand, is just for personal use.

    The letter seems fine the way you explained it. I would suggest make it a bit more personal by explaining the research you are involved with. I think it doesn't matter where the money comes from; As long as it is "RA money".

    There have been a lot of rejections for not fulfilling the 1year full-time continuous experience. You need almost 2 year part-time to make an equivalent of one year full time. Make sure that your continuous hours add up to 1 year full-time (37.5 hrs per week for a year)

    Hey everyone, Just an update: I got OHIP coverage approved for myself and my spouse after appealing, even though my PER letter only included my name and not his. I had sent copies of documents showing status for both, proof of residency address, proof of relationship, and a copy of the PR...

    Thanks for sharing your pervious letter Aidina. I hope your application goes smoothly this time. My letter does include all hours, duties matching the code etc. , I have also included T4/T4A tax slips... but I have a feeling that they always just find something, no matter how complete you think...

    It is indeed my second time. With the new rules, preparing a new application would really suck. Especially preparing the certified degree documents ... N_O: I don't know why nobody cares about my timeline! I have asked people already 3 times to put my info on the tracker, and eventually I gave...

    Hi, I have included letters for both RA/TA and 3years other work experience from back home. My letters are pretty basic just saying the hours and the duties almost matching the NOC codes. AND I am not accepted yet, so there's no point in posting mine here... :( I myself am worried that it is...

    All these rejections are making me so nervous. This is already my second application, and I am so worried that they will reject for the work experience letter again. No matter how complete you write them, there could always be something more they are looking for. Unless the letter is missing...

    Yes you are eligible for OHIP and local tuition fees. You first get rejected, and then appeal and the rest of the story as posted several times in this thread... I have the same question about CAIPS. Got PER on Feb 25th. Any value in ordering CAIPS? If so, what should I look for?

    I don't know about tuition fees. But for OHIP, you need to be only "eligible to apply for PR" not "eligible for PR". So, once you get your PER, even though you later get rejected, you can still renew your OHIP as long as you live in Ontario. Is that correct senior people?

    Yes I gave the PER letter to the school of graduate studies, they said it is ok and they'll process it for Fall semester. I had the new wording too. The thing is in your case the officer clearly said that communications will be sent only to main applicant, right? In my case, the officer didn't...

    I'm so sad to hear all this rejection news :( Don't give up guys... An update about my situation. A while ago I contacted CIO-Sydney and asked them to include my spouse's name in the PER letter so that we can apply for OHIP. They replied that my file has been forwarded to Ottawa and I should...
