Hi,
Currently, I am thinking about the PhD stream, belonging to Skilled worker and professional.
I have a stipend (kind of award to support my study and research), but it is not employment(I have checked its property with University), so there is no duty.
I can provide only a letter of reference from my supervisor in university, but there is no contract from university.
my question is:
May I use the research experience as work experience?
What documents else should I provide to CIC ?
Yes. RA/TA counts as work experience.
Join us in the PhD thread. You can read it there and find answers to your questions.
