If you have to spend 3000$ just to appeal with no guarantee that it will work its like finding a pearl in the dark. If I were you I would apply again and save that 3000$ towards settlement funds. Unless it is too important that you have to have the PR you can go with that lawyer. Other suggestion is to try several other lawyers take advice, know their fee and then proceed.

This. Don't make this about revenge. Just apply again with a more explicit letter. The lawyer makes money from your case even if you lose.

Same boat here. We all know that this "lead statement" thing does not make any sense. But tons of people in this stream have been rejected because of it. Considering the price to appeal, it may be worth reapplying instead.
But it would be nice to have a lawyer, ANY lawyer take this issue somewhere. If he feels that the case is strong, then it is strong for the majority of the people who got rejected on this forum.

Sorry, but no chance.

I have updated the proof of fund yesterday with the required amount for the last 6 months.
I did not received any emails from CIC till now. However, the ECAS still shows Decision made.
The decision was taken last week, is it normal to wait all this time before they send the rejection email?

After sending two e-mails to Ottawa asking for a confirmation for receiving medical results, I got this reply:

_______________________________________________________
Dear Sir,

According to our records, your medical reports have been received and they are currently under review with our medical office.

Regards,
_______________________________________________________

Anyways, it is good that they replied and it is also good to know what is going on.

Here you go. It's on the Canadian immigration website:


Good Luck!

Thank you!
Wish every one good luck!

I have a question, if the officer reject the application, an email should be sent, or they send a letter (regular mail).
My Ecas shows Decision made and I did not do the medical, which I understand that it is a rejection. This change on Ecas has been done last week. I did not receive anything till now.

Got my med done today,hope the following things will go well.

Guys, I think the most tricky problem for PhDs stream applicants is that if you do not have any regular work experience but TA or RA, please prepare your letter carefully by following NOC 4012.

We must embody "you are ASSISTING your professor" to do what ever you did in your PhD study. The key word "assisting" must show in the beginning, then you can list multiple tastes you did according to NOC description. Otherwise, even if your work is amazing, it won't satisfy officer.

OMG~~~

Dear all,

Have gone through recent pages, I am so concerned about my case now. I did NOT use "assisting" in my TA/RA reference letter explicitly when I sent my application last April, and they will be working on my case shortly, they may reject my application for this reason, right? :-[ I am planning to update my reference letter. Here are few questions, please leave me your suggestions.

(1). Is it the right action to take right now?
(2). How should I send the documents (reference letter and up-to-date POF letter) to Ottawa? Scan and then send by email (CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca)? They do not provide an address for PR applications on the website.
(3). What is "GCMS notes"? How to apply?

Thank you guys very much for your help in advance.

You can update your Ref. letter POF by scan them and send by email. They should update you file within 1-3 days.
If you are not sure about your ref. letter, update it immediately.
You can check that by applying GCMS notes. This is can be done online

They will send you a PDF after 30 days includes all the notes/ information related to you application.

I received the rejection mail today , it is not related to the fund.

It is the common reason the EXP letter. I have updated my letter on Feb 24, and I believe it includes the leading statement and everything.
My concern is that they did not see the new letter and take the decision based on the old letter.
is it possible to claim that?

I saw on the form few persons who did something like that, please advice
If anyone had the same case, please tell me what I should do


Thank you in advance

Hey Guys, I am posting my question again. Please help me in this regard.

I just finished my PhD and got a post-doc position in a university. I applied in this category in OCT2013. What should be my next step. Should I update my file and what should I send to them and how (mail or email) ?

Thanks in advance

Has this ever happened to you:
I sent an email to CIC and did not receive the auto reply. The email was correct and was their new email. I'm very upset and don't know what to do.
