    Hi Kaur13, sorry to hear about your rejection, good that you will reapply soon. Sorry I guess that you have other problems in mind but if by any chance you could share the code of the VO that handled your application (written at the end, in the signature field of the AOR)... Already 4...

    Rejected...Help!!

    sorry to hear about the devastating news ScorpionKing23 Your employment letter should mention hours/week and more detailed duties. Weird that they argue on your paystubs, if I recall, it is not mandatory to submit them so how can they become ground for a refusal?

    I came to Canada as a Postdoctoral Fellow and my work permit states that I am a ''Post-secondary Teaching Assistant'', so for me too it is different, but apparently CIC is aware of the fact that postdocs are not coded accurately, as you could read in Toddmeng's message. Let's see what senior...

    Hi Chandn, Since my boss wrote Cell Biologist in the employment letter, I used Cell Biologist for the generic application form as well to stay consistent. For the reference letter, my boss just used ''Cell Biologist'' I would not use Postdoctoral Fellow, but Microbiologist for both the letter...

    November 2012 Applications

    Hi Chandn, The duties should not be listed like this in a reference letter, in general one has to avoid making the employment letter looking like a copy-paste of the duties. Instead try to get your boss to write ''a story'' that will cover the duties. For example, something like this below...

    I do not think it is safe to use a birth certificate issued by a consulate, since they most likely issue it based on your passport, NOT from the original birth document... Seniors please confirm...

    November 2012 Applications

    Hi Chandn: If you did not graduate in Canada, then you cannot qualify for the CEC graduate stream, but you might have a chance for the worker stream. If you have 24 months of full-time work (in Canada) within the last 36 months, then you are eligible for CEC. It is expected that new rules...

    Hi Chandn Choose the NOC that fits best with your duties. Yes, my boss mentioned ''publications in scientific journals'' as well, also ''presentations at international meetings'', even if not required for 2121. I did not apply under the post-graduate stream so I did not earn my degrees in...

    November 2012 Applications

    I am a Cell Biologist. Yes you have to be very careful with the duties described in your reference letter. You need to match at least 80% of the duties described under the NOC code you are using to apply. NOC 4011 seems to be for full university professors, for postdocs it is more NOC 4012 (our...

    Canadian Experienced Class vs Skilled Worker

    For CEC, your employer just need to provide a reference letter. Make sure that this letter clearly details your duties, hours worked, the dates of your employment (proving you have 24 months of work within the last 36 months). CIC likes to have a business card of your boss too, though not...

    Hi Bridge, You mean your IELTS will expire this December right? If yes then I think you are fine, if I remember the results have to be valid at the time you submit your application.
