Congrats! Hope mine is charged soon as well.
I'm sure it will. I was really worried. Mine took so long compared to others'. When was your application received?

It depends on the country of nationality and/or how long you have been living in Canada as a temporary resident. If you were not asked for RCMP together with your home country PCC, you won't be asked in future!

Hi pepe

I never was asked for RCMP check. I just sent my police certificate. Why some people talking about that?

Has anyone heard of any Post-May 2014 applicant whose application got refused after CC?

It happened to me before, because I claimed 35hours/week RA. This time i only claimed 20 hours/week.

I just want to assess my chances of getting PER or to know if I still need to do anything to boost my chances of getting PER.

Many thanx.

when did you apply for the first time? Since I have seen people being successful by claiming 40 hrs/week with RA, I think it depends on VO's subjective decision.

I claimed 40 hours per week for about 4 semesters and I had no issues. But, the work was certified by HR department, not something my boss wrote...

I guess u have no problems as u claimed 20hrs

In my case I claimed 40 hr/week for RA and department and HR was not willing to write as there is no such definite contract, even I worked more that 40 hr/week, I used letter from my supervisor shows number of hours and my work details according to NOC code and for funding details I got letter from department, and fromy GCMS notes I observed I was awarded experience points

Yeah may be there won't be problems with 20/week in new application. However, I bet there are other people whose supervisors wrote >=35hr/week and were still successful. The previous application was sometime in May-June 2013. I guess the CIC officer was just having a bad day. What he said had nothing to do with the author/origin of the employment reference letter. Something like this."Evidence shows you are full time student so I do NOT believe you also worked FULL time during the same period".

Anyways that's in the past now.



NOW BIG QUESTION AND QUIZ GUYS: Please be sure of your response:

Can anyone tell me the equivalent CLB score for Listening skill score of 7 on IELTS English Test?
Of course I have looked at the chart but this particular spooked me.

Congrats buddy, it seems initial process of PhD applications takes longer than other NOCs. While the CC are charged for 15 Dec, we are still around 1!
Hope mine is charged soon as well. Dec 8th
