hello, guys.
I applied for permant residence last Feb, but my application was rejected.
I applied for two years PhD studies under FSW using TA/RA working experience
Just wondering who got the permant residence using TA/RA working experience recently?

The following is the refusal letter from the immigration:

I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a skilled worker. I have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

Subsection 75(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations states that a foreign national is a skilled worker if:

a) within ten years preceding the date of their application for a permanent resident visa, they have at least one year of continuous full-time employment (37.5 hours/week) experience, or the equivalent in continuous part-time employment in one or more occupations, other than a restricted occupation, that are listed in Skill Type 0 Management Occupations or Skill Levels A or B of the National Occupational Classification matrix;

b) during that period of employment they performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation as set out in the occupational descriptions of the National Occupational Classification; and

c) during that period of employment they performed a substantial number of the main duties of the occupation as set out in the occupational descriptions of the National Occupational Classification, including all of the essential duties.

I am not satisfied that you meet these requirements. Your period of work experience as a Teaching Assistant and as a Research Assistant (both NOC 4012) at the University do not meet the requirements of b) above as the letter of reference you submitted lists duties that do not match the actions of the lead statement under the NOC code you selected. Therefore, you failed to demonstrate that your periods of work experience met the requirements listed above.
Subsection 75
(3) states that if a foreign national fails to meet these requirements, the application shall be refused and no further assessment is required. I am not satisfied that you meet these requirements.

Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or for any other document required by the regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act. Subsection 2(2) specifies that unless otherwise indicated, references in the Act to “this Act” include regulations made under it.

Following an examination of your application, I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Act and the regulations for the reasons explained above. I am therefore refusing your application.

I talked to my school lawyer, she said:

this reason of details of your work experience letters "not matching the lead statement of the NOC code that you have selected" is being used frequently now and many are being rejected on this basis. I am not sure if it is there way of rejecting the TA/RA work experience, which in previous years may have been accepted. But now they are being very critical of this type of work experience ...

Just wondering who got the permant residence using TA/RA working experience recently?
I want to reapply, but not sure it is my reference letter problem or the immigration systematically rejected TA/RA working experience.

Please let me know. Thanks.

Is it mentioned in your GCMS that your updated ref. letter was attached to your file?
YES!

In the next note it is mentioned that they have received my updated ref letter. However in the refusal letter they point to the first letter.

I am sorry to hear your rejection!
You may want to take a look in the tracker. Actually, many applicants got their PR with only RA reference letter, but many others were refused for not matching the actions in the leading statement!
You have to prepare a rock solid reference letter the next time, see my signature for samples of successful letters.

BTW, when did you apply the last year?

In my GCMS says that :

Work Experience: Qualifying period: 14FEB2003 to 14FEB2013

Does this mean that you can NOT claim work experience after submission of your application (14FEB2013)?

Thanks,
Hi N_O, What is your opinion about this? It makes me feel worried...

The weird thing is that I sent some additional docs by email two times and did not receive the auto reply even after 2 days!! However, I sent it by mail too which was delivered.
