    You mean Sydney did not give you 5 points for previous study?

    If you got an NER at CIC and then you argued with Sydney to get a PER later, you can find you local MP, talk to them, tell them your story, the unfairness and inconsistency of their decision. MP may be helpful, but not guaranteed. If we all go to the local MPs and make our voice heard, there...

    Because we are on the same boat, I am quite concerned about your case. I just talked to my consultant about it and she suggested you should contact your local MP asap within the appeal time frame. Besides, if you have a lawyer, you should contact him to file an appeal. Obviously, the decision of...

    Do you mind answering some of my questions, cos it is also my concern. Was he rejected before receiving doc request? Did he apply under the phd stream? Did he claim the adaptability points when applying? How did he know he got the points from CIO? How many points did he get according to Ottawa's...

    The law is the law. Laws can be explained in different ways. That is why we have OP-6, which is the interpretation of the law. OP-6 is also a legal document. It regulates how ppl should use the law.

    It seems to be an adverse situation for me. Guys, do you think its good idea to claim more working experience by sending them another employment letter from the department/graduate school that includes both taxable and non-taxable income? My first letter was from HR and only taxable income was...

    one more thing that you could try. Find your local MP. As long as their reason for refusing your application is not due to any national security concerns, MP's complaints should at least urge them to carefully review and reconsider the case.

    Sorry to hear that. Did you appeal to Ottawa by quoting OP-6b? I do not agree with their explanation. The 5 adaptability points should be awarded to any 2-year study without considering to which the study permit was issued. In other words "for which your current study permit was issued" is the...

    I do not think the disappearance of ecas is a bad signal. Instead, as far as I know, reopened cases will disappear from ecas for awhile. However, it might also be the system hiccup.

    Pls be aware that IMM7000 is not an "legal document". We can only complain about the case saying IMM7000 provides misleading information, but it is not supposed to be our major evidence to convince Ottawa for assigning us the adaptability points. However, OP-6b is an legal document and is the...

    Both phdapplicant's and dani1982's case have something in common that they may not have the adaptability points from CIO initially. Therefore, in my mind, it is still too early to assert that Ottawa and Sydney have disagreement on the criteria of assigning adaptability points based on the first...

    I also have such doubt. That is why I said in my reply that "it is not common that they did not explain why no adaptability points were assigned by quoting the ACT. " If you applied the adaptability points but were not assigned, they usually gave an explanation. That is to say, the reason was...
