Guys my PR (CEC) Application got Rejected. Here is what they sent me
Dear xxxxxxxx
I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the Canadian Experience Class and have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, applicants in the Canadian Experience Class are assessed on the basis of the pass/fail requirements set out in subsection R87.1(2). The assessment of these criteria determines whether a worker with Canadian experience will be able to become economically established in Canada. The criteria are:
· knowledge of English or French,
· Canadian skilled work experience,
· Canadian educational credentials (for the Post-Graduation Stream only).
Your application was assessed based on the occupation(s) which you identified as part of your skilled work experience in Canada: User support technician NOC 2282 Level B.
I am not satisfied that you meet the skilled work experience and the Canadian educational credentials requirements because although you did obtain a degree from a Canadian institution your transcript indicates that you were not registered in full time studies for two years therefore I evaluated your application under the worker stream and you have not acquired 24 months of full-time employment in the 36 months prior to the submission of your application in a NOC level A, B, 0.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or for any other document required by the Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act. Subsection 2(1) specifies that unless otherwise indicated, references in the Act to “this Act” include regulations made under it.
Following an examination of your application, I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Act and Regulations for the reasons explained above. I am therefore refusing your application.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Now I went to University for a four years Business program and graduated in like June 2009. I dont understand why they rejected my application saying that the transcript indicates that you were not registered in full time studies for two years. I will get full 24 months of Work Experience on July 15th 2013, but I applied based on education plus 1 year of work experience.
This is really disappointing since I have been in Canada since 2004. Is there a way to appeal this? Should I contact a lawyer?
