Hi OP,
could you provide a timeline for your case? did you do MR and RRPF already?? I noticed there are some people getting this kind of emails recently.. I think it's not only your case, CIC is probably getting stricter on certain occupations?

I did my MR already but not RRPF yet. :(

First issue - the VO has misinterpreted the NOC description.

"As per the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada HRSDC website, NOC 1111 Financial auditors and accountants hold the title of Chartered Accountant CA, Certified General Accountant CGA, or Certified Management Accountant CMA and the applicable memberships and certifications."

This is not entirely correct, and you will have to argue that the NOC does in fact include your position.

1) Employees under NOC 1111 may hold those titles and certifications, but it is not a requirement specified in the NOC.
Further, the NOC provides many job titles, those are only 3 of the possibilities.
2) The lead statement also says that "Articling students in accounting firms are included in this unit group." (That means a training contract - do you have anything like that? Try and get a letter from your employer stating that you're in in the CMA program and any kind of employer support for working towards your CMA designation; and yes, a letter from the CMA would be good too.)
3) by definition, articling students do not hold those professional designations - yet!
4) The lead statement also says that "Financial auditors and accountants are employed by auditing and accounting firms throughout the private and public sectors, or they may be self-employed."

As for the 2nd issue of your job description - what was in your letter of employment?

+1

An accounting designation is not required to work in NOC 1111. You could hold one but not mandatory.

Yeap...I have found the sentence below at the at the Gov of Canada job bank website under NOC 1111...

"Education and job requirements can vary by region. Workers in regulated occupations require a licence to work legally. Workers in non-regulated occupations do not require a licence, but employers may have other certification requirements."

My job (non-regulated occupation) is not related to public accounting and does not require a licence/accounting designation to work...I think I will include this in my argument...hope this will convince the VO

I got same request back in late January 2015, submitted required additional documents to CIC in late Feb, now ECAS has updated to "in progress" and RPRF request received on March 10th.

I assume it's kind of good news?
