Congratulations!! Tyrusx so finally now you are in our Alumni group
. You could be right regarding Asbereth issue, Alas!! this is called civilized world
. But the good thing is that a significant number of ppl (who are not white/blonde) had also pleasant landing experience which implies there is still some humanity around us
)
It's good to know that it's possible to land in Quebec (TyrusX, so they didn't even ask you for the connecting flight to Alberta?)
I think my experience was an outlier, and more like an exception rather than a rule (and I really hope that was the case). Most non-whites here actually have very pleasant experiences while landing

Yeah, I wont need that 5 points, only if I get the max score of the language part. Thanks again anjuku
Btw if anyone knows what template for RA letter has really worked so far, I'll be SOOO thankful if you share it. There are so many RA reference letter in this forum, I'm not sure which one has been approved by Ottawa thus far.
I'm sorry for your rejection. Try to get ready for re-application as soon as possible, and get at least the process going for educational credential evaluation. As anjuku said, if you can max out language points, have at least one continuous year of full-time work experience (or equivalent, but still continuous), have a Master's degree (after ECA), and under 34, then you would have 68 points without counting adaptability into account. beh467's letter would make a good template since it explicitly includes the lead statement before he even listed all the main duties.
Regarding adaptability for previous study, I think there have been different opinions on how to interpret it. We don't know for sure whether they will award these five points just for any period of two years study, but some members here (sarsanballa, oasisfairy, and me) all agree that the new wording has made it clear that the points should be awarded, even without the completion of the program. After all, only completion of the equivalent credits for two years of full-time study is required now, not the completion of the program itself (again, that's how some of us would interpret the new wording).
Some other members (noc4012) are of the opinion that these points still won't be awarded, because of the fact these points are only for 'previous' study (previous, as in, past study), and if you're still currently enrolled as a student, then it won't be counted as 'previous'.
Time will tell I guess. Since we are all so much more experienced now, I will make sure that some of the members (who applied under the new rules) will make request for GCMS notes, at least once after their file has been evaluated by CPP-Ottawa, so that we will know for sure whether they will award these points.

My language score is also low but thankfully I have solid 9 adaptability points. 5 from my Canadian Masters and 4 from my Spouse Education (MBA). They considered my 3 yrs work experience but if they even reduce to 1 yr I should survive (Total 73 points given in last GCMS). Isn't that
((
Since you only need one year of work experience to get above 67 points, there will be NO possibility of you to get rejected for not having enough points. The only possible way for them to reject you based on eligibility is if they refuse to give you even that one year.
Since having a Canadian Master's degree pretty much guarantees you the five adaptability points (I'm assuming it was at least two years in duration, right?), then even if they deny you the 4 adaptability for your spouse's education, and only award you 1 year of work experience, you would still have above 67 points
I hope you have updated them with more detailed work reference letter?

Are you sure they evaluated you based on your updated letters of reference, and not the old ones? It happened several times on this forum (off the top of my head, including myself and aidina) that the updated letters of reference were not added to the file properly. What I would recommend you do, is post your updated letters of reference here so that we can look and see if they are strong. Then, email CPP-Ottawa asking if they received your update; at the same time, order your GCMS notes. Then you will have a complete picture of what has happened to your file and might even be able to overcome their decision.
This is a good idea. I believe both anjuku and beh467 were initially recommended for rejection, but they updated their work experience letter just in time, so FA01772 was forced to consider it as well
