Some updates.

Got a RPRF on the 8th of July and medical on the 9th of July.
No document requests so far, maybe it's because in May I proactively submitted recent a 6 months bank history and a new police certificate from my home country.

Guys,

My family has submitted an application under PhD stream in March 2013. We have completed our medical exams and paid the right of permanent residence in May 2014. In June, we had the "ready for visa" email which we sent out our passports right away.

Today, one month after sending our passports to CPP-Ottawa, they have returned our passports along with a note that our application is not yet finalized, therefore they return our passports!

We have no idea what does that mean! Does it mean that they have rejected us? Does anybody encounter something like this before?
Please help guys!

The e-case still showing decision made.
Thanks

Very strange indeed. It's been more than a month since I saw "Decision Made" status and still no passport request. I did my medicals on first week of May. Am I facing the same thing as you? God knows what's going on.

Does the proof of funds (bank statements, certificates....etc) has to be sent as hard copy to CPC? or I can just send email PDF email attachments.

You can send everything other than police certificates by email.

Hi all,

I am going to apply in September. My question is about the weakest point of most PhDs' applications - work experience letter. I am going to claim my RA experience in Canada. So, the question is:

1) Who should sign the letter? Grad coordinator of the program or the professor? In the first case, the magic 'assist' word will be in the context like this: "X assisted Prof. Y in research activities in ...". Otherwise, "Y assisted ME in research activities in ... " Does this matter? Can anyone refer me to a successful application with the letter signed by the prof?

2) Is there a chance that my RA experience from outside of Canada will be accepted? I worked as RA in a research institute and this had NOTHING to do with my bachelors. How do I spell it out?

Thanks.

1) See this for successful reference letters: h t t p : / / g o o . g l / 4 7 q I Z F
(remove spaces)

2) If you intend to use NOC 4012 as your main occupation, then that RA job you had outside Canada must conform to the descriptions of Human Resources and Skill Development Canada. In particular, NOC 4012 says post-secondary RAs assist professors or faculty members at "universities" and "colleges".

and it must show that your work is separate from your studies or not related to your studies, if you were a student in the same time.

The NOC 4012 description says:

"Enrolment in a university or college program is required"

So, you MUST be a student in order to claim RA experience, regardless of a place. But how to demonstrate that it is not directly related to the studies? Any ideas of a statement to put in a letter?

You can indicate in your ref. letter how many hours you work on your courses and PhD thesis and how many hours assist your supervisor as a RA.

Some key points for NOC code 4012:

1. Make sure your ref. letter is dated and is on the University letterhead.

2. You should have at least 1 year continuous full time (30 hours/ week) or equivalent continuous part time ( 1560 hours ) work experience.

3. Make sure that your periods of works are in "dd/mm/yy to dd/mm/yy" format and there is not even 1 day gap between them for at least 1 year.

4. You should include the lead statement (assist professor ... in research activities...) in your RA ref. letter, also a substantial number (almost all) of the RA main duties and these two terms: "assist professor in data analysis..." and "assist professor in the preparation of journal article or papers..." to be safe.

5. Add details (and some additional duties if applicable) so that your duties dose not look like a copy-paste of the actions described under the NOC code.

6. Your RA working hours should be reasonable because you are a PhD student at the same time.
