Hello Guys,
I have one question here, i have completed one year of work in canada and have applied in NOC 2173 on July 2nd , my application will reach them today July 3 or worst case July 6.
Now i am suppossed to leave Canada early August, my question is - Will my application be eligible after i leave which means , If i receive CIO approval while i am india??
The below instruction is confusing , it says application recevied date/processing begun but doesnt mention if the reference date is Applcation received at CIO or VISA office.
pls suggest guys, i am kind of worried
7) Does residing legally in Canada entail holding a study or work permit? Is a temporary resident status after the expiry of a work or study permit sufficient? What happens if an applicant leaves Canada after the work or study permit expires and then re-enters Canada (i.e. as a visitor)?
The Ministerial Instructions do not mention work or study permits at all (consult section 8.3 of the OP 6 manual). Generally, applicants must meet the requirements of the Instructions on the application received date. Once an application is placed into processing, the eligibility requirements of the Ministerial Instructions no longer apply, unless an error comes to light. Whether an applicant whose application is placed into processing, is still residing legally in Canada as a TFW or student, at any point after processing begins is immaterial. Processing is only subject to the IRPR and not the Ministerial Instructions. If an applicant met the requirements of the Instructions on the application received date, then left Canada and re-entered with the status of a temporary resident only (not a TFW or international student), the application is still eligible for placement into processing at the visa office. If the applicant only applied after re-entering Canada and remained in the country as a temporary resident, the application is not eligible for placement into processing.
Exceptions to the above apply to applications received between February 27, 2008, and November 28, 2008. Someone who meets the requirements of the Ministerial Instructions today, but did not meet them on the application received date, should be assessed in relation to today’s date and not the application received date. For someone who met the requirements as of the application received date, but no longer meets them, the reference point should be the application received date. The rule of thumb is to apply the requirements in a manner that favors the client. Clients could not self screen before the Ministerial Instructions were made public.
It is also important to remember that the policy intent of this particular requirement was to process applications from persons working or studying in Canada. The qualifications, i.e. residing legally for at least one year, are intended to slightly raise the threshold that must be met for the application to be placed into processing. They are not intended to be interpreted so strictly that applications from persons working and studying legally in Canada, and who would likely satisfy the IRPR selection criteria, will not be placed into processing.
