Hi Miltonjunior,
Sorry to hear that. I can tell you that according to CIC's instructions - circumstances at the time of submission of application counts. Not just the time of ITA.
You can read details here.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp
So the first question would be - were you working when you actually submitted your application.
Though i don't know if they strictly follow this rule even after submission of application. But there has been at least one case mentioned on this forum where the applicant was laid off some time after the submission of application and he informed CIC. However, his PR was approved.
Following is the more relevant section from above link.
Change in circumstance declared after an e-APR has been submitted
To assess an application under section A11.2, a processing office must consider the information in an applicant’s profile at the time of the round of invitations and the information provided when the applicant submits their e-APR. After an e-APR is submitted, an application cannot be refused due to a change in circumstance unless
the officer determines that the change occurred before the applicant submitted their e-APR and that the change would have caused the applicant to be refused under section A11.2: therefore, the application should be refused under section A11.2; or
the change in circumstance means the applicant no longer meets the minimum requirements of the program to which they are applying; therefore, the application may still meet the requirements of section A11.2 but can be refused for failing to meet program requirements.
For example, if an applicant marries before they submit their e-APR but informs CIC of the marriage only after they submit their e-APR, the marriage can be taken into account as part of the section A11.2 assessment.
If, however, an applicant marries after they submit their e-APR, then informs CIC of the marriage, the marriage cannot be taken into account as part of the section A11.2 assessment. However, the change in circumstance may affect whether the applicant still meets the program requirements. See below for details.
