I received a rejection email today, stating "Your letter of reference from the University of British Columbia did not list job duties or responsibilities that match the actions described in the lead statement and a substantial number of the main duties described in the NOC code you selected – NOC 4122. As such, you failed to demonstrate that your periods of work experience met the requirements listed above."
I thought my letter was pretty good. Has anyone successfully appealed this or should I just wait until I graduate?
Anyone have an idea how long a common law application takes?
I'm sorry that your application got rejected. Did you apply using only TA/RA experience, and was the rejection based on not meeting the minimum requirements, or was it for less than 67 points? The reasons for rejections are getting sillier and sillier by day.
Just the other day, mahiziya got rejected for having matching job duties, but not leading statement >_< Seriously, maybe we should just copy-paste the NOC job descriptions and leading statement, and so long we really did perform these duties, then it is not misrepresentation Self serving, yes, but not mis-representation. Regarding appeal, aidina successfully got the officer's decision overturned (now, he's facing another scrutiny on proof of funds, but at least he passed selection factor), but that was because he sent an updated letter of reference before the date of assessment.
In your case, since you never sent the updated letter, then you would need to analyze your letter carefully, and see if you have any case at all for appealing. I suggest you do so, and then, while waiting, just submit sponsorship from your common-law (people got their PR in 8 or 9 months). It will be faster than any economic migration classes.

All those rejections due to employment letter are getting on my nerve. I have send a new letter to Ottawa 2 months ago as follow, could you guys please help me to have a look on it and let me know if I need to change anything. I could always send the third employment letter to them, right?
Well, you did have the lead statement, and you did have a lot of job duties. I think it's fine. But I really don't know what these Ottawa guys are thinking sometimes
And anjuku, JVJ, congratulations
Sorry that your good news has come during such a bad time in the forum
Also, JVJ, I'm wondering, have you paid your RPRF yet?
