I know that getting a rejection email is really frustrating but don't give up.MJ2 said:
Your comment doesn't have any base, so commenting on these is simply waste of time. Its been already proved that TA/RA is a considerable experience and a number of ppl already got their PR just with TA/RA. So, please don't put any comment without having proper knowledge, even don't use any term(mispresentation or bla bla) which you even don't what does it mean? This may scare other ppl with a tons of stress. If u can't help ppl don't help but plz don't do harm. Ppl here already so much stressed by the overall processing system, plz don't make it worse. Thanks a lot and Good Luck with your application.salem10 said:
One more thing I should note. Number of ppl completely keep quite during their whole processing, never even bother to visit the forum and when they get reject then they starts messing up. Its always sad to see someone to get rejected but why you guys don't visit the forum earlier at least you could request the GCMS/CAIPS note before getting any final decision. Plz don't get hurt, my only point is to be more cautious, i am not telling if we regularly visit the forum we won't reject but at least we could give bit more effort. At least we could convince ourself that we did almost everything what we could do. I am extremely sorry if it hurts anybody.beh467 said:

Unfortunately no. Your file is probably placed in a queue waiting to be looked at by an officer. There is no obvious way you could delay this algorithm. You just have to hope that you defend soon and in the meantime they have not made a final decision on your applicationbioleaching said:
I think you are being too harsh! A lot of people don't even know about this forum, and based on the experience from other PR streams, normally when the documents are complete, people don't expect to be rejected. But when they are unfairly rejected they start searching for similar cases and come across this forum. This is at least what happened to me. So, don't be judgmental. You are not in their shoes...kaziahmmed said:
I am not saying that RA and TA is completely is not experience, I am saying that many of applicants here is trying to extremely exaggerate RA and TA as a big experience that may ever person has. The trying to show reference letter that ever been written and maximize TA hours to cross the limits of required experience. This trend involved may fault information being transmitted to CIC and it is very bad to the future of this stream.kaziahmmed said:
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'big experience'. The fact is, NOC 4012 is considered a skill level A, and it even has the requirements that one needs to be enrolled in a college or a university program before they can claim TA/RA work experience under NOC 4012.salem10 said:
No offense. Definitely i m not in their shoes, at least then I wouldn't wrote over 200 comments to waste my time. What I meant, whoever are already in the tracker (I didn't mean others who doesn't know about this forum) many of them doesn't really follow the forum in daily basis, they just come once they got problem and then to find a proper solution of their problem is really tough coz those points may be already discussed in so many occasions but he/she missed. And whoever helping in many regards doesn't really bother always to repeat the answer again and again. Thankfully some members in the forum still doing this painful job which is I should say more than their generosity. And I think i have already explained why I have made that statement, there was no intention to hurt anybody it just to encourage ppl (again who are already in the forum)to stick with the forum until get the success. Who I am to judge on anything, if I would then I wouldn't spent almost 400 days with tons of stresses like u guys. All we r in the same boat and, always intending to get some help from others and if possible can help others.Houra said:

About TA hours, I am aware that most of us are only doing TA for maybe 5 to 12 hours per week (which would out to be, as you said, around 60 to 130 hours per academic term). And I did not try to hide this at all on my work experience letter. I highlighted the fact that my NOC 4012 work experience is a combination of teaching and research assistantship, and broke down the number of hours for each academic term. I never claimed more than 12 hours per week for TA (after making sure there will be no contradiction to the number of hours given by HR).
As for RA, I always suggested people to only claim as needed to bring the total number of points above 67, and AT THE SAME TIME, to make sure that your RA rates won't be below the minimum wage of that particular province. Also, be mindful of the fact that you are technically studying full-time as well (which is defined by the CIC itself to be 15 hours per week).
If an average worker usually spends about 40 hours at work, what would be the issue in claiming that we study full-time for 15 hours a week, and work (which we are authorized to provided we have study permit and we work on campus) maybe 15 to 20 hours per week? Why should this be considered fraud or misrepresentation? Why is this claiming more than we deserve? If you claim this much, most likely your hourly wage will be quite a bit above the minimum wage of 10.25 dollars per hour.
And no, we don't work all the time. We need to eat, go to the bathroom, sleep at night, sometimes we need to work out, take a walk in the park, play with snow [and no, I don't like snow either], etc. That's why we're claiming we're studying 15 hours per week (hence, full-time PhD student) and working maybe 15 to 20 hours per week rather than 168 hours per week
The guy who was using this account had a good english with decent accent and tone. This guy "pretends" that he doesn't know english. He makes mistakes in some words, with good sentence structure. May be he is this guy that like to come to the forum from time to time, to discourage people. Nice trick man I think Kazi has a valid point. It would indeed be beneficial if people who have their timelines in the immigration tracker actually spend some time browsing this forum. This is not to be confused with being an active participant and proactively answering questions and providing suggestions or pointers. Even if one checks the forum on a weekly basis that would indeed be helpful. I myself was a passive onlooker until a few months back and looking over the discussions we have had, I found this forum to house a wealth of information and decided to be an active participant.kaziahmmed said:
LOLsamer_eg said:Hi asbereth
Guys it is obvious that salem10 account is hacked!
Could be true...
I completely agree with you and what Kazi had to say....let's take for example, getting UHIP with the PER e-mail ...i would have never even thought about that aspect if it hadn't been for the forum...especially since they would refuse you first and then you have to appeal with the refusal letter and get a decision in your favour...this is clearly something most people are not aware of and it's only because people like myself were constantly following this forum that we came to know about it...similarly it was only because Lugiovemma on the forum was nice enough to share the refusal letter from CIC stating that the key word ASSIST is missing that we actually came to know what CIC was actually looking for at that time in reference letters (of course now, even the word "assist" doesn't seem to satisfy them!)...it is only because aidina and someone else sent an updated reference letter, that i decided to send one too eventhough at that time we didn't even know if they would accept supplementary reference letters or not...so bottom line is, those who were following the forum on a regular basis benefitted tremendously from it...afterall, we all invested alot of money and effort into our PR applications..the last thing we want is to get a rejection after this long wait...and spending a little bit of time everyday on the forum will only do you good...once they refuse you, you can always look at the forum to help with a subsequent application , but that does not compensate the time and money you spent on your first application...but at the end of the day, it's your choice...good luck to everyone...sorry i just realized this post is a bit long ..S_Govind said:
