No worries. Just say no if she does not have one. Her passport information will do the job. :)

This is what I received today which is the reply of my previous email. I asked them whether or not they have considered my updated reference letter and they sent the following email:

"This refers to your message below concerning your application for permanent residence in Canada.

Your application for permanent residence in Canada in the Federal Skilled Worker Class was considered on its substantive merits but was refused. You were provided with the decision containing the reasons for refusal of this application in our message thereby fully concluding this application. We note that the officer who made the decision did, in fact, assess the letter of reference dated February 26, 2014 in coming to the decision to refuse your application.

Should you have different or additional information, you may wish to submit a new application. You should understand, however, that a new application would require submission of new processing fees and that any such application would be assessed according to the criteria in effect at that time. As a result, no assurance of success can be offered."

Has anybody tried going to MP? If yes, is it worth it to try?

His main duties include:

• Conducting literature and technical reviews
At the beginning, he reviewed many scientific journals related to (thesis subject) to make a base knowledge for his future experimental results.

• Performing laboratory and simulation experiments
Then, based on the previous theoretical works, he started doing his experiments at two different categories called “XXX” and “XXX”. He has also started supervising an undergraduate students group to perform XXX.

• Compiling and analyzing research results
When the experimental results were prepared, they were analyzed and applied to (scientific term). The (scientific term) is still in process with undergraduate group.


• Preparing scholarly publications and writing scientific journal papers. During his employment here, Mr. XXX has prepared the following papers:

1.XXX
2.XXX

He has also made presentations in the following conferences.

Mr. XXX has worked mainly as research assistant in my research group. However, during his program some of his time was allocated to his graduate courses and teaching assistantships as well. In the first year, 50% of his time was spent on the course works, and rest, 20 hours/week, towards the research assistantship activities. From September 2011 to September 2012, he also spent 10 hours/week on teaching assistantship and 30 hours/week towards the research assistantship. He has been working as a full time research assistant contributing 40 hours/week from September, 2012 till now (February, 2014). He has been receiving a stipend of $XXX/month since he started his studies at the University of XXX. He is expected to finish his program by September, 2014.
