yes, the duties in my letter did not include assist. My first and second RA letter was not accepted by SL. This is the SL note:

PA claims following work experience: 1) Research Assistant (NOC 4012) from xxxx to xxxx. PA submitted two letters of reference dated xxxx and xxxx which listed duties that do not match the lead statement as there is no indication that PA directly assists a faculty member.


Then, I added the lead statement (As a research assistant, he assists me in research activities in the area of xxxx.) and updated my RA letter which is accepted by FA.

If they don't accept your letter, it shows that they are trying to come up with new ways to reject the RA letter everyday!

My CAIPS also has this sentence
PA claims following work experience: 1) Research Assistant (NOC 4012) from xxxx to xxxx. PA submitted two letters of reference dated xxxx and xxxx which listed duties that do not match the lead statement as there is no indication that PA assists a faculty member.
I updated my letter and added the sentence " As a research assistant, he is assisting me in the research activities of the following projects ... " but FA rejected me!!? It is really hard to know what is in their head!

it seems fine to me!

 

[Dani1982]

Thank you. As for me it seems like a perfect letter. I really don't know what they want from us.

The more I look at my letter, the more I find my duties match to the lead statement as my supervisor said "he is assisting me in the research activities of the following projects", it means that I assisted him in every research activities happened during these projects like conducting literature review, data analysis, Compile research results, preparation of journal papers, etc. This is way beyond matching to lead statement and if they rejected me for this, that would be so unfair!!!

you need to appeal if they reject you, your letter IS good.

Your letter is perfect.

If they make the immigration as hard as the states, no PhD student will come to Canada anymore. They have opened this stream to attract the PhD students and then they try their best to reject all applicants.

Your letter is perfect.

If they make the immigration as hard as the states, no PhD student will come to Canada anymore. They have opened this stream to attract the PhD students and then they try their best to reject all applicants.

This stream is solely a bait to lure best international PhD students to come and do research at their schools. As we can see, the rate of acceptance is very very low. I personally have not seen this number of rejections in any other category in my several years being in Canada and following immigration process for many years.

So far they were saying that your letter doesn't show you "assisted" and we said "Okay, we will include it in our letters". Now, they are rejecting even if the word is there and yet they say it is NOT there... And, yet we are still saying "hmmm, maybe we should have that word more than once".... It is like that we are trying to justify their false actions. It was extremely ridiculous before and it is getting even more ridiculous.

ok, let us know how it goes, because I concur wil the last post, it's like we are trying to read their minds and give them the exact wording they want.
Also, was it a pain to appeal????

I did not actually appeal yet, but I asked MP's assistant to contact them, I am waiting to see what is their response!

You once mentioned that you prepare publications your self in NO. 4 and Analyze the research results yourself in No. 2 and again mentioned that you assist professor in analyzing research results and preparing publications in No 6. These two contradict each other! Be careful...your letter must make sense. I suggest you to remove No. 4 and first part of No.2. They don't want you to do these actions by yourself, but assist professors in doing these actions.

I sent an email to Ottawa regarding the acceptance of my updated POE that has been attached to my file. I mentioned that I got my GCMS notes recently and noticed that points were not assigned for work experience by SL...despite updating the letter before the day of assessment. Here is what I got today:



Dear Applicant,



Your application has not been even assessed yet by an officer. The officer makes a decision about points.

According to our records, additional documents have been received from you and attached to your file.

An immigration officer will be in contact with you if any further correspondence is needed.

Yea, that's kinda a template email they send before FA assessment. But in your eligibily assessment section of the note has anybody updated your point or not. Mine got updated by GG.. , although he/she didn't put any note in the note section.
