I strongly recommend everyone to send Ottawa an updated RA reference letter and claim the employment duration since the date you submit your PR application. If you provide this documentation before your date of assessment, you will be definitely awarded extra points. Remember that it takes a year for Ottawa to start assessing your application, and it could gain you an extra 2 points from job experience factor.

Hopefully, you will get a positive decision as you pass the 67 points with your RA experience!

It will be unbelievable. I am very hopeful.

I totally agree!

I think Ottawa gonna calculate the work experience up to the date of the application. Am I right? So no more extra points will be awarded after that.

No extra point, but you can update your duties and previous work experience

No extra point, but you can update your duties and previous work experience

Why? The operational manual OP 6B (Chapter 9.12, "Experience") clearly states that

Officers must:
(...)

• take into account any years of experience that occur between application and assessment, and for which the applicant has submitted the necessary documentation (R77);

I think it applies to us. Doesn't it?

I have one bad news and one good news.

1) Bad news is that my appeal has been rejected.
2) Good news is that they just accepted my updated RA letter from Canada , But they reject the RA letter from my university in Iran, because I did not update that letter. This means that my updated RA letter was ok and I rejeceted because I could not pass 67 points. So, I guess I need to update RA letter for my new application as well.

This is specially can be a good news for Aidina

Hi Hooman,

Sorry that your application is rejected. How did you update the RA letter? By email or express post or fax?

Thanks

In Page 28 of operation manual 6B available through http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op06b-eng.pdf is written "take into account any years of experience that occur between application and assessment, and for which the applicant has submitted the necessary documentation (R77)". It seems that they should give extra points as well.

I have not sent police clearance with my application as I have not received it from concerning authorities in time. I have been already charged with the application fee by CIC. Do I get PER and file number regardless of PCC or CIC waits for me to send PCC?
Thanks

I do not wanna risk again, and I do not need that,
I already applied for new application, and although I think this work experience is good enough, I will update it again soon because they will consider the updated version.

I emailed them first, and in the same day, I sent them by mail too, I live in ottawa, so they received it in the same day.
AND KEEP THE RECEIPT FROM POST OFFICE, THIS IS IMPORTANT. IF THEY CLAIM THAT THEY DID NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING, YOU CAN PROVE IT BY
YOUR RECEIPT AS I DID.

It seems that they should give extra points as well.

If you have submitted necessary documentation to prove your work experience that is in between application and assessment dates, then they should technically count it (pursuant to R77). For example, if you apply during the middle of the semester, and on your reference letter, you mention that your work term ends at the end of the current semester, CIC should consider the extra hours from the middle of semester until the end of the semester, and take into account all these 'extra' hours since you have 'submitted the necessary documentation' to prove this work experience.

I'm not sure, though, if that also means you can keep updating your work reference letter every month before assessment, in the hope that they will increase the total number of hours and that you may get extra points due to more work experience (this may work, for example, if you apply on June or July, but your current semester is over end of August. If you provide documentation that states you will be working until the end of the semester, then they may award you those hours until the end of August, even though your application date is June or July).

Hi Guys. This is a part of my RA reference letter which my supervisor singed it.
"This is to certify that Mr. XXXXX has been a Research Assistant working towards Ph. D. degree under my supervision at the University of Western Ontario from May 11, 2010 until present.
..."
Is it ok or I need to update it?
