Hey guys, glad i found this specific topic. I just may get a rejection very soon based on the gcms notes i received today, so wondering if you guys can offer any insight.
Background: At time of invitation, the minimum was 453, and i was just below. My main points in education came from bachelor degree of 4 yrs, and i had mentioned that i was enrolled in 2 years masters program in Toronto. So i got my high school (O and A level) equivalency done in order to surpass the running crs requirement at that time. I ended up with a 471. BUT- since there was no drop down menu in education section that said 4 year undergraduate degree AND secondary school diploma, and every other option that i tried wouldn't let the system increase my score- i ended up choosing 2 or more certificates, diplomas or degrees, guessing they would understand that it actually pertains to the secondary school diploma.
NOW- instead of taking the obvious into consideration, they have entirely disregarded the secondary school diploma which actually gives me enough points to meet minimum threshold of 453 and are only awarding points for bachelor degree.
All that considered, below is what i found as the latest assessment earlier this month...

Text: *** AGENT REVIEW 11.2 *** Review Required. A 11.2 assessment refusal. CRS Education points adjusted; score falls below the minimum. Education documents reviewed & ECA report verified on WES website. ECA issued 2016/02/08 reports the following credentials awarded by University of Cambridge International Examinations: in 2003 as equivalent to a secondary school diploma in Canada; in 2005 as equivalent to one semester of undergraduate study in Canada. These credentials do not equate to a second post-secondary credential; therefore 2nd post-secondary credential rejected. A third credential awarded by Middlesex University in 2010 is equivalent to a four year Bachelor's degree. CRS points awarded for the Bachelor's degree only.
Further, on the second page of the report it also says, application assigned to xxx, assigned by xxx, Due Date: 2016/07/30 ( technically 3 days away)
A month ago i also sent them an inquiry email telling them that my masters is now complete and uploaded relevant papers to prove completion, so they may consider that i have those points (although i understand it wouldn't apply since it wasn't completed at time of submission)
My major question here is (besides how could they just disregard the 30 points i obtained from secondary diploma and refuse to count only undergraduate, when they infact have the secondary diploma equivalence in front of them), that if the VO said 3 weeks ago that i am below crs minimum and a11.2 assessment refusal- why haven't i got a rejection yet? are they perhaps considering or referring to another VO? i remember reading that eligibility refusals come within 2 months, but i am now at 4.5 months since AOR.
my only way to raise a complaint is write a letter tomorrow and send for next day delivery if in case the 30th is the deadline for some sort of a decision. or does calling the cic helpline directly help at all here?
help please 8)
..Hopefully we See the August Rain of PPR , keep the faith everyone
