Because you probably declared that work experience and the system matched it with your PhD studies. Be advised that work experience claimed under CEC while you are a full time student will not grant you any points :(

PEPE I applied for Express Entry as you advised. Thank you.
I have a question, I am 4th year PhD student and I applied under Research Assistant NOC 4012.
But I did not get any score for Human Capital - Canadian Work Experience. Do you know why?

Thanks

I haven't seen the EE system so I am not sure, but from previous posts I think we will have to wait until May when something may came up for PhD students :(

Pepe,

Under EE system, even if the applicant applies for FSW, the work experience obtained during full-time study is not considered. In other words, it is regardless of the type of the category under which you apply. Therefore, those PhD students who want to apply under EE, they have to provide at least one year of full time work experience during the time they were not studying at all or they were a part-time student.

Have you been contacted by CIC (like request documents) before you got MR and RPRF?
Thanks.

Contrates Adamant!! Happy for you!
Thanks RAP, finally .......:). We had a terrible last week. May be this story would be helpful for others.
My wife came in Canada recently as a visitor. Although she had a five yrs visa but the officer gave her only 3.5 months visitor permit. We applied for her OWP but we didn't receive the decision even after 43 days and now she had to leave Canada. I have called to the call centre to confirm whether my wife can stay in implied status or not but they said the officer at the airport during her arrival override the condition for being in implied status. So she had to leave on 10th January. I bought the ticket and her flight was at 11pm. When we arrived at airport we have requested the officer that her application is in process and also showed my PER letter. Then officers convinced and allowed her to stay until she get a decision. And guess what on Monday she got the approval of her OWP and next day we got the Medical. It was terrible week for us but thankfully two good news relieved all the stresses.

how did you get hold of an officer in the airport? because you were in the departure area, right?

Hi all,
Finally, I received the passport request yesterday :)

Btw, I have an old passport and a new one. Should I send both passports or only the new one? All of my travel details are in the old passport.

Also, do I have to send two photos with the passport?

Thanks
