So you mean 'which I co-author' is not enough to let them I assist the professor?

These are the tools I believe they are suppose to call on for assessment:

Operational Manual

Furthermore, an applicant’s work experience should reflect the actions described in the lead statement
for the occupation as set out in the occupational descriptions of the NOC, including the performance of
a substantial number of the main duties and all of the essential duties described.The CIO will review
the documents related to work experience. They should include sufficient detail to support the claim of
at least one year of continuous work experience or equivalent paid work experience in one or more of
the occupations in the last 10 years.


NOC website

Not at all. Do not leave anything for their interpretation. Use DIRECT words.

Your TA would be declined as it is not continuos. Your letter misses the "lead statement", and it will be rejected most probably. I suggest you to provide them with an updated one as soon as you get your PER. In your updated letter keep the same RA duties, but if I were you, I would list them using bullet points to be easier to read. It is safer if you cut some of the technical information you provided about your project. It is just going to make your letter longer, and it is not interesting for the officer. Remember, they just spend a few minutes on your letter, and that information might just distract officer's attention. Try to express the lead statement, RA duties, hours spent, and employment duration as clean as possible, and easy to find and easy to read. Other information will not gain you anything.

As far as I know, within the last ten years, only one year of your work experience (1,950 hours, or 1,560 hours if you applied under the new rules) needs to be continuous. Any work experience on the top of that would still be counted towards accumulating work experience for point calculation. Say you do 13 months of full-time work experience within the last 10 years, then another two 6-month chunks. They will still credit you with two years of work experience, provided, of course, your job descriptions are accepted.

They did not ask you for CV and PCC. Had you already submitted them?

No, not yet.
I had submitted a police certificate with my application but not a CV.
Maybe they will ask for it after I send the proof of fund to them.

Thanks . Yes, now we know that they accept the updated IELTS score.

They usually ask all together from Iranians.

Congrats! So happy to hear that, your appeal went so quick, I believe because the MP assistant contacted them.
Good Luck!

I believe that you updated your reference letter before, didn't you?

You are right. They usually ask it together from Iranians.
Maybe, the officer has forgotten that I am Iranian

I agree. I think it was fast because MP assistant contacted them.

Yes, I updated my letter after I received my GCMS notes. There was a note in my application put by SL01732 that had analyzed my application and had not accepted my RA reference letter because it missed the lead statement.
Then, I updated my RA reference letter which it has been accepted when assessed by FA01772.

The conclusion from my case:

1- They accept the update of IELTS score if it is sent before the final decision.
2- They accepted the update of reference letter which was sent before the final assessment.
3- They gave me extra points for the work experience between application and assessment ( I had 2 years of RA when submitted the application. My updated letter was 3 year. The officer accepted the letter and gave me 19 points for 3 years of work experience)

Holy moly! Congratulations! That is such a positive news!

Thanks
