My application returned because of NOC code error, what shall I do?

[solomonjohn]

Dear all,

I sent my application for the Canadian Visa application in September 2011 under Skilled workers category. But, I didn't put the correct NOC code for the specified work experience. I wrote by mistake the NOC level, 'Level A' to mean professional category. I tried to contact the CIO by email to correct the NOC code after sending my application documents but they replied that it is not possible to correct by email.

Now, after four months, the CIO returned my application documents and I received it yesterday (Jan. 25, 2012) and they mentioned in the attached letter the following: 'Please include the appropriate NOC codes for each of your specified work experiences.' They checked all my other documents and it was ticked as correct. They returned it only because of the NOC code.

But now the cap is reached for my profession (Biologist, NOC 2121).

Should I wait for next round application, may be after June 2012? Or
Shall I send back now all the documents again correcting the NOC code?
What do you think? Will they consider my application if it is sent after the cap is reached, since they analyzed it previously before the cap was not reached?
 
I appreciate your reply and thanks in advance.

If they told to to include the right NOC number it is implicit that they want you to resent, but since the cap is new, that procedure of asking for the right this and that may have been implemented before the cap was introduced meaning that it is possible that after they receive everything correctly they may then say "apply when cap has not been reached. Only way to find out, and find out quickly: resent it and resent it soon. you can always resent later. it is totally legal to have multiple applications pending for the same person, all they'd do is combine them later. just make sure there is no conflicting erros in them.

I agree with glorila, if CIO asks you to write the correct NOC and return it, it means they might reconsider it. So quickly do so and send it. When application are rejected cos of NOC being capped, or application being incomplete, they mention they gonna refund the person. Was that mentioned in your letter?

The CIO representative said in the letter that my payment is being returned. So, if I need to resent the application, I think I have to send a new Check (money order), since the previous money is being returned or the time to use the Check may expire.

They actually did not ask me to return the document after filling the NOC code. But they said only that my application is returned because of the NOC code. I think as you have advised, I have to send it back soon and see what they will say.

Thanks for your reply.

If your cap is full then, you will have to wait until July/12 if your NOC is on the new list.

I agree with you...his application will be treated as a new appliation, affected by the cap.
