Post e-APR Process and Common Reasons for Rejection

[zagcollins]

Thank you! It doesn't anywhere request IELTS even in the education section so I will attach both as additional documents.

One other thing: my required documents is requesting proof of completion of post-secondary education, however I did not complete any post secondary. I haven't got this listed in the education section but under "Personal Activity History" I put the two years of a degree but made sure I marked that it was incomplete and no degree was awarded.
What should I put in this required document space? I don't have any post secondary degree I can upload, so should I leave it blank and put a letter of explanation?

anything mentioned under 'Personal History' can be ignored as far as documentation is concerned.

Thanks for the reply. And what about my personal document checklist listing "proof of completion of post-secondary education" as a required document?

You can't leave document folders blank and IRCC recommends if you can't produce the document you should attach LOE instead.

1. attach all your post 12th grade degrees like Bachelor's, Master's, etc.
2. ECA report
3. IELTS scorecard
4. Name affidavit (if your name across documents like passport, degrees, marriage certificate is spelt differently).

I got exact same question. I got RPRF request on 26/Aug and paid the same on 27/Aug. Uploaded the receipt and re-transmitted the application. I was on NA2 stage when I got the RPRF. No updates since then

hi - where do you see the "NA2" status?

hi,
i have one issue, if you can help me.
while submitting my express entry profile i mentioned 40 hours per week. but after ITA, when i receive my employer Ref. letter, it says " 7 hour 40 minutes for 5 days in 2nd and 4th week and 6 days in 1st and 3rd week." Now, as it is govt job we have 2 Saturdays off in a month. While calculating this hours it comes to 42.5 hours per week (Avg.). will this have any issue in my profile?

2. We were in Uk before 10 years and returned due to rejection of Post Study Work Visa, will this have any effect on our profile?

please , share your experience and help..

Part 2 of 2: Most Common Reasons for Rejection

Most common is PCC:

a. Not included

b. No Coloured Scan attached

c. Dates don't cover complete period of stay (for e.g. you stayed in one address until 13th August but PCC cover dates till 31st July – don’t miss even one day)

d. The wrong PCC attached (includes not attaching PCC where you have lived more than 6 months – calculate your stay duration by adding all stays and include PCC if combine stay is 180 days or more)

e. LOE: Not writing explanation of why you weren’t able to attach PCC required and what you have done so far – attach evidence such as PCC Application submitted

f. Incomplete Documents – Some countries require additional documents such as consent forms for IRCC to directly get info therefore, it is important to read carefully CIC Guidance for each specific country before applying.

g. States PCC – Some countries do not have Central/Federal PCC System and therefore, you are advised to get PCC from all states you have lived (For work, study, and residential purpose excluding short stays). In addition, read CIC guidance, as they sometimes require Federal PCC as well instead of just State PCC.

h. Change in Circumstance such as visiting country after having PCC will not remain valid so you need to be careful and may need to apply for PCC again.


Medical Reports:

a. This includes failure to get Upfront Medical or After Letter from IRCC for any reason.

b. In addition, if you have any physical or mental issues the IRCC will reject your application and will advise you to set a meeting with your panellist for further advice or treatment plans – I know some people who recovered after some medication or physiatrist help and got PR later on.

c. Very rare but most significant error I saw was when one person submitted a report from a doctor who was not registered as approved panellist – see from CIC website before booking appointment.

d. Ensure you know what tests are required. Although, it is very rare on one occasion candidate only told panellist that she needs a test for Canada not indicating PR (nowadays for EE) and result was that Full Examination was not done resulting in rejection. {However, that panellist was dropped from approved list after short time but you must be careful if you are not booking appointment from well-reputed institute or Doctor.}


Conversion of Files:

a. Only convert files in the approved format and not just what suits best to you

b. If you are using software’s or online tools for PDF conversion then it is recommended to test it on different readers (such as Foxit or Adobe) before submitting. IRCC will be using Adobe Acrobat so make sure your files (all pages) will open in it. There is a case where IRCC rejected the incomplete application due to files not opening in Adobe (file was converted using Foxit).

c. Your documents must be clear and readable after reducing its size (it is recommended to not have a file below 150)

d. Always convert or scan your file in Color version unless where states by the IRCC to have a grayscale or black and white.


Passport and Visa Status:

a. It is important to attach your Passports and Residential Cards (if applicable) along with your file.

b. Make sure all pages with stamps are also included as IRCC rejected the application in past for not having a stamp for existing of one of the countries.


Education:

a. Not including ECA report or only including ECA number

b. Not including Degrees and Transcripts – please note that IRCC will reject incomplete files unlike OINP, which asks for additional information.

c. If you have distant learning course or studied in a different country than where the Institute is located then include this in Letter of Explanation and clearly mention your status.


Experience:

a. Not including Job responsibility letters or not matching with NOC.

b. Documents submitted cannot be verified the due lack of information of company available online.

c. Company registered in the house or residential area that may raise the question on quality of work performed.

d. Could not answer questions or satisfy officer during a formal interview.


These are the most common Reasons identified from the sample of more than 1,000 applicants in 2016/17.

I have a question about PPC. I have a Polish PPC that has been translated by DocsBase, just waiting for the certification. However, I see that it says on it that I'm "Not on the national register" and they have sought criminal record from UK instead of Poland since I am a British Citizen. Will this still be OK? The records come from the UK, I already have a UK PPC but this Polish PPC is just a repeat of the UK one

I can't understand your question properly but you are to submit document "Zapytanie o udzielenie informacji o osobie". If this is what what you submitted and translated it English then you are fine but if you are indicating some other document then it can be a problem.

Yeah, this is the exact certificate I submitted and had this translated. My concern came from the fact that when it's translated it says that I am not on the Polish National Register so they have sourced criminal records from the UK instead..

ok.. thanks..but how should i explain in Letter of Explanation?

 

[zagcollins]

a Letter of Explanation (LoE) is not a legal document, so explain it the way you want to. Keep it simple, accurate, short, and honest.

Simply put, state your exception/problem and the reason for the exception/problem point by point. That's it.
