    good Luck for your FSW PD application! My lawyer told me there isn't any way we can appeal (which sounds nonsense to me)!

    September 2012 Applications

    Hello everyone, just dropped by to say I received my rejection letter today! I was expecting it since I saw my notes in July! They aren't accepting Research Assistantship as work (NOC 4012). Pretty disappointed in Canada at this point! I guess Canada's loss! Well, I will try my luck next year...

    The only email we know of CPP-O is 'ottpilot-immigration@cic.gc.ca' So try there... I read somewhere on the forum that people have sent out reconsideration emails to VOs and some people have had their decisions reversed, I am sorry I don't remember where I read it but its somewhere on this forum!

    Applying for CEC as research assistant (NOC 4012)

    The thing is its hard to show that RA work is not part of my study, though I think I will try and see my supervisor would do that for me (I doubt ???). You can surely send in a reconsideration email to CPP-O. My university lawyer told me the same thing that there is no appeal process, its kinda...

    RA_toronto: Did you email them about reconsideration? or planning to appeal? I have not heard anything from them, my file is still in review :( since my notes doesnt say anything about T4A (like yours), I just sent them an email quoting the old rules, hopefully the second reviewer is nice...

    December 2012 Application

    Nope... they say RA work cannot be counted as work since its part of the study (doesnt make sense since the same RA is counted for FSW-PhD stream and they are okay with that AND lots of people have got PR based on TA and RA hours previously! They have been rejected for people from July 2012 for...

    December 2012 Application

    That is true! I applied in mid Sept... I received my GCMS last month.... they said they did not count my RA since its part of study towards my Masters/PhD degree! The file is in review now (says review required on it) and no decision has yet been made on the file... just hoping the second...

    Hello everyone, I am a September 2012 applicant. I applied under NOC 4012 but in Canadian Experience Class. I got my ATIP/GCMS notes last week and looks like I will be rejected. Here is what VO has to say (he reviewed the file on 10th May 2013): "Letter provided from the PA's supervisor...

    Applying for CEC as research assistant (NOC 4012)

    Guys, my MP's office got back to me.... and this is what they said: "I have spoken to CIC who advised there is no decision yet on your file. I am told that research for studies does not qualify as work experience. If you feel the work experience is not part of your studies, and should qualify...

    Applying for CEC as research assistant (NOC 4012)

    not sure why they call it PhD stream if they do not want to use the TA/RA hours! Not everyone take a break from their studies to gain work experience!

    The new rules that were effective January 3rd 2013... which state that any work experience gained during full time study cannot be used to total the amount of work hours!

    Applying for CEC as research assistant (NOC 4012)

    I agree with 'asbereth'!! Given that part of my pay comes from TA and a part from RA I dont get why it wouldn't be counted as work. My summer's pay is completely comes from RA work! I would have to be homeless in summer months, if I wasn't paid for my RA work! Given about it being in direct...
