Hi all,
I received a refusal letter for my PR application citing that the proof that I submitted to prove my intention to leave Quebec is not convincing enough. I received a provincial fairness letter two weeks back to explain my side. I attached my work contract that is going to expire in March 2020 and interview letters from prospective employers. I am working on a closed work permit in an LMIA exempt job (researcher). Therefore, it is hard for me to change my employer. I live with my wife here who is on an open work permit. I may get an extension in my job in Québec but that does not solve the dilemma.
I have attended a few interviews and I am in the final stage of a job interview with a reputed employer in Ontario. However, I believe my chances are not that good considering my present immigration status. The company is aware that I do not have permanent residence. The visa officer wanted strong proof that I leave Quebec when he grants my permanent residence and not after getting permanent residence. I have seen cases of colleagues from my own workplace who got through express entry. None of them did have any job offer. The common advice I received after contacting lawyers that it is not a wise decision to move for an appeal since it may take a while.
I could send my wife out of province and probably build a strong connection with Ontario. That is the only solution I have in my mind if I do not get any job offer. Do you have any other suggestions?
