She has done her medical exam 7 months ago.

Don't say we will wait 7 month after our medical! It is still 4.5 month for me.

If it is 7 months I am OK with that

Since we have been waiting for a long time, waiting for two more months is OK. However, it will be great if we get the passport request before the end of this year

I got rejected for the second time. I submitted my second application application on august 2012. First time I was rejected for reference letter problems (I only have TA/RA experience). However this I asked the department to include the all bullet points of NOC 4012 in my ref letter. Here is what I got today:

Sorry to hear this. Would you mind sharing your timeline with the rest of us?. As Beh said you need to explicitly have the word 'assist' as a part of your duty description as well as opening statement of your letter. In case you did update your letter and had these words, you can send an email to ottawa with evidence of confirmation of receipt of your updated letter. As long as it reached them before the date of final assessment you should be OK. The other way is approach your MP and request the assistant to conact Ottawa directly...

(How do you all know that your application was received? Only from a postal or courier signature, I guessing? The CC or MD cashing is the first definitive sign from the CIC, right?)

They check for completeness of your application and then cash your cheque or MD. After this , there is a preliminary assessment and in case you pass, you are informed so by an email from CIO Sydney. This is what people call the 'PER email'.

Welcome to the forum and good luck !

Let's see. Mine is over 8 months now.

The online status of one of my Iranian friends which is a February applicant has been changed to Decision Made today.

This can be a good news for Iranian applicants. I think Samira and Mehroonir are the next Iranian applicants that will get their passport request.

 

[mehroonir]

Let's see. Mine is over 8 months now.

We also don't have any 'decision made' 8 months after sending the medicals. Nevertheless, your news was encouraging beh467 ;-) Thanks!

Hi everyone,

If I want to send an update letter fixing the lead statement, where should I send it? If it is by e-mail, does my supervisor have to send it from his e-mail?

Thanks. It seems that I have to reapply . First, here is my time line:
Reached CIO: 8 Aug 2012, CC: 21 Oct. 2013 PER: 22 Oct 2012 Reject: Nov. 18 2013
No of applicants: 2 Work experience: TA/RA only (3+ year) Nationality: Iran

Second, seems I have a new challenge. Now, I need to have my B.Sc and M.Sc assessed. I would like to ask Iranian friends who applied after May 2013 to share their experience about this. The hardest part for us seems to be convincing our university to send the official transcript directly to the assessment agency.

Send your letter to the following well known email address:

OttPilot-Immigration@cic.gc.ca

No, you can send it from your email address. To prevent further issues you may also send it by mail:

Citizenship and Immigration Canada | Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada
219 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa ON K1A 1L1 | 219 avenue Laurier Ouest
7th Floor | 7ème étage, Section B

I doubt if it is the only way to send transcripts to them. Don't they accept originals?

I knew mine was received when I got the email with the UCI number.

All the best to you!

Don't worry about the assessment. It is not as hard as it seems.

I am trying to send a personal message to you but it is not going through. I will try to resend it tomorrow morning.

Sorry for your rejection for the second time, for the same reason!
Would you please share your reference letter? this may clarify what was missing in your letter.
Good luck!

Hi All,

I've been a long-time lurker on the forum here and got a lot of helpful answers to my questions that way; so thanks to everyone who's contributed!

I thought I'd add my two cents by informing that my application was received (as best as I can tell) on November 5, 2013 and you can add this to the spreadsheet if you'd like. (How do you all know that your application was received? Only from a postal or courier signature, I guessing? The CC or MD cashing is the first definitive sign from the CIC, right?)

In any case, I'll update as things move along.

P.S. I'm from the U.S.; there are four of us (wife and two kiddos) in the application; and I included TA/RA work experience (for the one year full time equivalent requirement) and the two courses for which I was the sole instructor.

Hello Pfau,
Which NOC did you choose for the instructor job? Is it 4011?
You can apply for your GCMS notes since now, and once you receive your file number they will send you them, ordering those notes is the best way to figure out what experience they accepted or what adaptability points you got.
Here is the link: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/

Good luck!

Hi all,

Just wondering is it a good idea to update our status proactively? Because I just graduated in this Aug and continue with a PDF at the same University, do I need to inform Ottawa this change? If so, what documents should I include in my package besides an explanation letter?

Thanks
