It is mentioned in refusal letter of Visa Officer that Occupational Demand for the occupation (Computer Programmer) which he prepared to follow in Canada is ZERO while no such point was raised in his interview regarding occupation demand of his Occupation in Canada. To my knowledge there is high demand for Computer Programmers in Canada. Also in General Occupation List maximum units (i.e. 10 out of 10) have been mentioned against my occupation (i.e. Computer Programmer).

He is MBA (MIS) from BZU, Multan. I think his education is sufficent for working as Computer Programmer becasue I have carefully studied their NOC Guide in which requirements for Computer Programmers are mentioned in detail.

He want to lodge appeal. Please tell me how much are the prospects for winning his appeal and can you extend your services for filing his appeal. Also let me know your fee for filing his appeal.

If the officer did not issue the proper units of assessment for the occupation in which the individual had applied, that is grounds for a Judicial Review. If, however, the officer found that the applicant did not have experience or edducation/training consistent with the designation stated, assessed the candidate in a different occupation, and found that that occupation had a demand of zero, grounds of appeal may not be so clear.

A qualfied professional would have to review the application documents and the refusal letter to assess the grounds for appeal. Such an appeal must be filed within 30 days of the receipt of the refusal letter.
