I think that's a good news meaning that they are finalizing your application. I hope the new PCC does not trigger the background check again (you already sent them the copy so they should just need to see the original). That is apparently what happened when I sent them my renewed passport and according to MP they sent my brand new passport for background check again!

Good luck and wish to hear better news soon.
Thank you very much prapplicant13. I hope you are right. I wish we both get our PR very soon. All 2013 applicants have prevailed so far, only we are waiting!

Thanks!

As far as I know the PCC should be valid only when you send it to CIC and they usually won't ask for a renewal (I have not seen any case before).
Thank you very much for the information.

Hi guys,

I just got back home and found my rejected application :'(. I sent it on Oct 24th and the letter of rejection is dated December 17th. I think it only got here after NYE.

The reason for rejection was: "You have not provided sufficient evidence that you have a minimum of one year of continuous full-time .... in the primary occupation in the last years.". I applied only with TA and RA experience, i.e., only NOC 4012.

I seriously cannot believe this happened, after reading all the posts here and all the effort I put into those letters trying to prevent this. I practically had to beg the Departmental secretary to make the letter following the guidelines I found here.

Anyways, is this it for me and the PhD stream? I guess there is no way I can't resubmit now. Can I somehow appeal the decision? In case anyone is interested/feeling sorry for me/experienced/ I can try sending you the two letters I submitted, one from the assistant to the program director (focusing only on TA), and one from my supervisor (TA for her and RA). I assure that both were very detailed in terms of the number of hours and the relevant NOC duties. In RA experience alone, the letter specifically quoted 20 hours/week since August 2011.

(I tried posting links here but I guess I'm not allowed yet?)

Any help/comment is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi everybody,

I'm new to this forum. I'll be really happy if somebody can help me with a serious issue. I sent my application for NOC 4012 mid Dec 2014 and they received my file before the end of the year. but unfortunately 1 week later I lost my credit card which I used for the fee payment form :( and I had to cancel it and ask for a new credit card...now I have the new card. Do you guys know what I can do now and how I can inform the office for this issue?
Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
