Hello everyone,

I need some help/insights . I received a notice of incomplete application saying I didn't submit my canadian degree or transcripts, but I did submit BOTH things and I checked my application.

Education – Canadian Degree:
You did not provide a copy of your degree granted from an academic institution in
Canada. All applicants must have a Canadian Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree.
You did not provide a copy of your official transcripts issued from the academic
institution in Canada that granted the degree.

My degree is from a 3 year program at Georgebrown college. The only reason why I might think it got rejected it’s because the degree and the transcript was uploaded as separate documents, but even then wouldn’t the incomplete application response be a little extreme?

thank you for anyone who replies to this thread

Can you confirm that what was awarded to you was a degree and not a diploma?

I received an Ontario college advanced diploma
In that case it unfortunately makes sense why you were refused. This program is only open to degree holders.

Absolutely, I got invited to the human capital priorities stream under the tech draws from December.

Also thank you very much for your fast responses
For this stream, you must have a Canadian degree or the equivalent from another country. Your Canadian education is not a degree. Do you have a degree from outside of Canada and did you upload all of the relevant documents for that degree, including an ECA?

I do not, I came out of high school from outside of Canada directly to a college and then to work after that with my OCAD, is there any other path I could take?

So then you were correctly refused. You don't meet the basic criteria for this program.

You almost certainly won't have enough points to be selected through EE directly. So look at other Ontario PNP programs. Make sure you look at the requirements closely.

You may be eligible for OINP - foreign worker stream or international students if you have an employer willing to support your nomination by meeting the requirements, submitting employer forms and be willing to answer questions from OINP. These are non EE programs based on OINP score, NOC and job offer. Where did you graduate? Read requirements for each program.

I have 473 points as of now, is that a low number?

Yes. Please spend some time researching past draws. General draws have been 500+ recently. Also keep in mind that you cannot claim points for having a job offer unless you have an approved LMIA.
