Thank you so much for your response and congratulations on your PR. You deserved it. I didn't know it could take that much time.
One thing I still don't understand though is how can an officer disqualified you because even though you were short a couple months, you should have enough 1 year experience. In fact, you only claimed 1 year on your application.
And when you submit your application, do you include all of your pay stubs or just the 3 most recent ones? When I did my application, I only gave them 3 pay stubs (most recent) along with my T4 and notice of assessment. I don't know if they'll ask to see all of them because I'm afraid I can't get them from my employer.
