Thanks guys! I am not losing hope at all (I have been here 7 yrs that says it all :P).. all the best with your file. keep us updated!

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

Hello everyone, I am freshly rejected applicant from CEC (Canadian Experience Class), I will be eligible in PhD Stream in May 2014 and I look forward to get help and support from all you experienced people. Thanks, Pari

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...

Guys, just got my rejection!! I was expecting it so no biggie... pretty disappointed in Canada!! Spent 7 yrs here and they still don't consider me 'Experienced'... I am just going to say its Canada's loss!

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

Whats NOC code did you apply under?

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!

I am Sept applicant and I applied under NOC 4012.... my visa officer is RC-6262 Two other people have him and he has put all of us under NOC 4012 to be ineligible in terms of work experience.... He rejected one of the two people....!! Keeping fingers crossed... lets see what happens!! If you...

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...

I think its the RC-6262 guy/gul who is hating NOC 4012 and finding new ways to reject us for no stupid reason..... I am going to MP's office tom and I am also consulting Lawyer..... I looked up all the regulations that existed last year and no where it says that my work experience cannot be...

Sure i got my notes on thursday so dont know... dnt get why they take so long for everything :( I will keep you updated here!

OMG he hates us.... mine currently says Review Required on the Status!!! Not sure what that means..... he wrote the notes that RA doesnt count as work and hence I dont meet requirement on 10th may :o not sure what he is still doing with my file..... hope review required means he gave it to...
