Who has the right to modify the Immigration Tracker?

Me and snow_walker. Why?

 

[jackson2209]

Because I wanna add my record in the spreadsheet, man. CIO got my materials on last Monday, and I am not charged yet.

Please post all the information, nationality, XP, number of applicants, etc, then I add you there.

So we'd better forget it and focus on our own business...

I think that was when there was no PhD stream and in 2010. Hopefully things would be different now.

Hi mkrp21, thanks.
I just called CIO, they said it doesn't matter if it it from different department, but the letter should include all the information they need. So I got the new latter from my department and mailed it half an hour ago. Hope this information will help the following applicant.

Hi mike5182,
I guess the letter from HR states your salary and working hours only. They usually dont mention the responsibilities (obviously because they dont have any idea about your duties and responsibilities. Only department or supervisor have this information). You can get the letter about ur TA/RA responsibilities from the department and/OR supervisor. Probably department can give you a letter about your responsibilities as TA and supervisor can give you a letter about your responsibilies as RA. Or you may get both letters from one place (department or supervisor). Good Luck

I need to contact them as well, but the email address "CIO‑Sydney‑Search‑Enquiry@cic.gc.ca" ( listed on their website) is not recognized by gmail and I could not send out the email.

Mike, could you share the phone number to call CIC?

Thanks!

I contacted the HR office of my previous employer, but they replied that, " for ex-employee departed for 2 years, their files/data will be destroyed and only minimum employment records in system are kept (e.g. period of service, salary, post title etc.) "

So even I ask for a new letter of reference, they cannot put my main duties, work hours per week, and total number of hours on the letter. But the HR office did mention that, if I suggest the immigration office to contact them directly, they can explain it.

And sadly that my previous Supervisor is not working there any more so he is reluctant to confirm my main duties.

I do not know what to do about this situation. Actually, in my application package, I already included a copy of the original contract which shows the working hours per two weeks.

Any suggestions, guys?

That email for some reason never worked. I used FSW-Centralized_Intake-Office @ cic.gc.ca (FSW-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca might also work) to contact them a while ago, and it went through (though no reply, only automated message telling me I would get a reply within 20 days). Anyway, to call them

Hi Carol_0130, I called this No. 1-888-242‑2100, Snow_walker posted before.
I'm sorry for your situation, I think you'd better call them and ask for their suggestions.
