Hi everyone,
I applied in April, 2013 and got an email from CIC today seeking further information.
I had provided a reference letter regarding my experience from the President of the Company I worked for, along with a detailed list of duties and responsibilities which were mostly inline with duties on the website for this NOC.
During the processing period, my employer got a call from CIC but the number was shown to be Unknown. Someone from the company answered the initial questions about me but asked the agent/or whoever was calling to identify themselves because the call was from an unknown number. The agent didn't identify himself and kept asking questions at which my company refused to answer any further questions.
This is the content of the email I received:
"This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. Please note that your file is in process and will continue to be processed at the Case Processing Pilot-Ottawa (“CPP-O”) office. I am writing you this letter to express my serious concern(s) regarding your application.
As per NOC 2281 for Computer network technicians/System Administrators set up and maintain Internet and intranet Web sites and Web-server hardware and software, and monitor and optimize network connectivity and performance.
Based on the documents provided in your application, it is not clear whether the size of the company **** is large enough for a dedicated System Administrator.
I note that a conversation with the receptionist at ***** confirmed the fact that the company did not have an active website. We were unable to talk to anyone who would release any further information about your past employment there or the company itself over the phone. I have serious concerns that you may not have the work experience required for the Canadian Experience Class.
Therefore I am asking you to submit any additional information and/or documentation that would allay my concern(s). You have 60 days from the date of this letter to submit the additional information and/ or documentation to the above address."
Here's what I have to say about it:
*That company did 2.4 million dollars worth of business a year during the time I worked there and had about 15 employees working for them. Since then, they have had to downsize considerably, but they have proof for once having such and such number of people working for them and that some of them were laid-off.
* There was no mention of the company having a website in the duties we provided. The nature of the business did not require an active website but still depended heavily on the local network/servers/databases/workstations for their everyday workflow.
My question(s) is: What can I provide to confirm the size of the company when I worked there or What are the ways to provide more information regarding the company in this situation? or am I totally missing the point here.
Please help. Thanks
