Hi friends,
I received some personal messages and was requested to send my refusal review request letter. So, here it is. I am sure it will be very helpful especially for those whose applications are being refused due to miscalculation of points by the visa officer.

Ref:      File No. B XXXX  XXXX  X (Mr/Mrs/Ms. XYZ)
Subject:               REVIEW REQUEST

Sir/ Madam,

Reference to the above referred application, it is stated that I have received Refusal Letter dated: 10th January 2012 (Copy Enclosed), intimating therein that the Principal Applicant have not meet the minimum qualifying criteria, i.e. 67 Points out of 100 Points. Therefore, the Visa Officer is not satisfied that the Principal Applicant will be able to become economically established in Canada and hence refused the above referred Application.

I believe that there is an error of judgement, while awarding points for Adaptability factor (Spouse Education). The Visa Officer has mistakenly awarded 03 Points instead of 04 Points for Adaptability (Spouse Education), which is not in accordance with the criteria formulated by the Canadian Immigration Department. In the Adaptability Criteria given in the Guidance Notes for Federal Skilled Workers Category published in the month of November 2008, as well as in the latest Instruction Guide given at your official web-site www.cic.gc.ca, it is very clearly mentioned that in case the Applicant's Spouse has “.........University degree of two years or more and at least 14 years of full-time of full-time equivalent studies, the applicant deserves 04 points. As a proof of the same, I am enclosing herewith photocopy of Page No. 16 of the afore-mentioned Guidance Notes and the relevant portion of the same has been highlighted for your perusal.

In these circumstances, it is , therefore, requested to kindly look into the matter carefully, thereby overturning the decision because it is very clearly mentioned in the Guidance Notes for Federal Skilled Workers Category published in the month of November, 2008, as well as in the latest instructions Guidance given at the official web-site www.cic.gc.ca that in case the applicant's spouse has “............ university degree of two years or more and at least 14 years of full-time or full –time equivalent studies, the applicant deserves 04 points

Regards,

Mr/Ms/Mrs. XYZ

Thanks for advice, did u get medicals ? Did u send the required docs already ?

After re-opening of my case, I was told to send RPRF fee, updated forms, police clearance certificates and updated pictures of both children. Interestingly, When my case was re-opened/approved they informed me by e-mail that medical forms alongwith additional documents is being sent in next few day. 10 days later, I got a call from TCS and it included all my original documents, degrees and other required documents list but there was no medical. I discussed this matter with some experts and was told that as physical appearance of kids changes a lot during early years, that why they held MR request and asked me send latest pictures. I believe that after receiving that, they will fix new pictures of the kids on MR forms and will send that to me soon.
