Hello,
I’m having quite a bit of trouble submitting a Permanent Residency application under EE (CEC is what I’m aiming for).
I’ve been in Canada for 20 months on a working holiday visa (originally from the UK) and have 14 months of full time work experience under NOC code 5225 which falls into category B.
I’ve been unable to take the IELTS due to the Covid lockdown restrictions and have been having a conversation with CIC via the IRCC web form.
I was instructed to submit a letter of explanation stating that I have been ‘affected by the service disruptions caused by the novel coronavirus’.
They told me to include the LoE in the ‘Optional documents (Client information)’ section of my online application but I was unable to see this option.
I used the IRCC web form to send the LoE document to them to see if they could attach the document to my application on my behalf and they sent me back a response saying that they cannot include the LoE in my application because I am not currently eligible to apply for PR under EE.
As far as I can tell, the only thing I don’t have that would make me not meet the criteria is the IELTS.
I have the years work experience and there no financial or educational requirements for CEC, so I’m not sure what I’m missing.
I’ve been trying to get this resolved since mid March and my current visa expires at the start of September so I’m getting very frustrated and nervous.
Apologies for the long winded explanation of my situation but any help regarding this would be massively appreciated.
Thanks
Liam
