    Well, according to the titles on the NOC description page, it doesn't have to be teaching and research assistants. Two of the titles re: So, would I conform to that? And as for the forty hours, this is not an exaggeration, it's a fact!

    Hi all, I am preparing my application package for the second time. First time I was rejected because of work experience, so I have, now, a reference letter from my previous employer listing my duties clearly. Do you think this would pass the NOC 4012 requirements? Please give me your...

    A quick question here... Do you know how CIO calculates the number of hours to know if you have 1 year of experience. Let me be more specific, if you've worked for 10 months, then how many weeks do they calculate (4weeks per month * 10 months = 40 weeks) or (10 months * 30days per month / 7days...

    So, I had sent an email to CIO to inquire if I will get refunded or not. They said I will NOT be refunded :'( (although my file didn't go to the visa office!) Anyways, if you don't remember my case, my application was refused because my letters of reference didn't convey my work experience...

    Did you include the number of hours, the salary and the duties performed in your reference letter or HR letter? The description should match the NOC... Anyway, I do encourage you to join the discussion suggested by TyrusX

    Here's all the info I got about translators and how to research for the best one

    To find the best quote for translating documents, do some research first. Certified translators could be found on the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO). http://www.atio.on.ca/ You could search for translators in a certain city, or choose a region from the drop down...

    Well, since they specified if you're working under a "work permit" and you are not, then your answer would be "no". Your TA/RA is under the study permit. You would say "yes" to this question if you worked with an off-campus work permit for example...

    Well that's disheartening! It just seems so hard to communicate with them, ugh! I think you have a point about the PC. What about the CELPIP, do I just refer to the one they have?

    Thanks for your reply... I just hope one could get the PC before they request the original. But I think it would be a good idea to send them a cover letter saying that they have an original and that I am requesting a new one all-the-same. What do you think? And about the CELPIP, do I just refer...

    Well, I can manage to get some documents, but for example the police certificate would take around 6 months (which is quite frustrating to think about)!! and Some documents I sent their original translation, so I would have to pay for that again (a considerable amount of money)! :'( I just...

    First of all, thanks for your continuous efforts, this thread is really highly informative... Yeah, I guess adding a new column for the reason of rejection would be a good idea. Well, personally, had I known they were that meticulous regarding work experience that even a word counts, I think I...

    I have the same problem as you. They are very meticulous with regards to the work experience thing! I plan to re-apply, and I wish if someone here on the forum would give us info or hints on this re-applying process. I already sent originals or my certificates, CELPIP and originals of translated...

    My Ecas still says in process. But I have some bad news :( I got NER email from the CIO! (although my credit card was cashed, which is a little bit confusing). Anyways, it was a problem with my work experience, apparently my letters of reference didn't convince the officer :(( So, I am planning...

    HELP - Child care subsidy!

    Well, I happen to know multiple people who receive CCTB even though they are not PRs or Canadians. Canadian residents mentioned in the eligibility criteria, means that they reside in Canada, it doesn't mean PRs - according to the explanation by the call centre agent. Anyway, my question is...

    HELP - Child care subsidy!

    Actually, no. Parents (who are not PRs or Canadians) of Canadian children receive CCTB after legally residing in Canada for 18 months.

    Oh that must be frustrating! Are you sure that your application has been queued, because according to the tracker your application reached CIO when the CAPS was reached!
