I affirm my unwavering adherence to all laws governing human conduct.

I was duly invited to Canada through legitimate channels and never remained on Canadian soil illegally for even a single day.

Throughout my time there, I fulfilled all financial obligations, covering expenses diligently, and demonstrated profound love and commitment to my family at every opportunity, even as they chose to remain behind.

In reflecting upon the principles that should guide civilized society, I invoke the words of,

Peter Kropotkin:

“Competition is the law of the jungle, but cooperation is the law of civilization.”

Email request for ill use of personal account

Direct email with unethical, unacademic and unprofessional misconduct by 1st supervisor. Request to use personal account for personal use and spend my free trial for his affairs.
I am deeply troubled by an unprofessional and unethical request from my 1st supervisor. Attached is an email where they instructed me to:

  1. Upgrade my personal LinkedIn account to Premium (using my free trial to avoid charges).
  2. Conduct research on their behalf, including identifying and contacting high-profile professionals (e.g., CEOs, industry leaders) via LinkedIn InMail.
  3. Send invitations to an event under my name while attaching their files.

This request crosses clear ethical boundaries:

  • Misuse of personal accounts for professional gain.
  • Exploitation of free trials to avoid institutional costs.
  • Misrepresentation (asking me to pose as the sender of official invitations).

Academic supervisors should uphold integrity, not compromise it. Has anyone faced similar demands? How would you address this?

I would have a chance to fail to program threat

Threatened after 6 months into program, just paid the second term about CAD$16000/24000/year. For a 4 minutes lateness washroom stop. Retaliating against me from above email questioning.
I was 4 minutes late to a graduate seminar due to a washroom stop.

My supervisor falsely claimed I gave “wrong information” as an excuse, despite our lab meeting ending well before the seminar.

Threatened me with failing the course, despite no prior warnings or policy violations.

Financial & Academic Stress:

  • I am an international student paying $24,000/year in tuition.
  • This threat came just after I paid $16,000 for my second term.

Pattern of Unprofessional Behavior:

Now, they are using minor lateness as grounds for academic retaliation.

Previously, my supervisor demanded I misuse my personal LinkedIn account for their professional gain (see attached email).
