Action: T4 and NOA for 2014 to be requested (got email on 14May2015 and already provided and receipt acknowledged).
RECOMMENDATION: REVIEW REQUIRED BY OFFICER

MY VIEWS:
I did check responsibilities online for my NOC code and my first 4 responsibilities on my letter were very much similar to the generic ones on their website, which i assume is the problem. I was working at GE through careeredge contract and mentioned GE Canada as my employer instead of Careeredge on the application form. The careeredge LOE does not have job responsibilities but GE Canada provided a separate letter of responsibilities along with NOC Code. I can get a new letter as I am still working at GE now as a permanent employee.
Should i update my job responsibilities and share the updated one with the CIC? I have already worked on a new set and can share here for seniors' feedback.

No won't work. He doesn't have 1 year of qualifying experience in the 3 years before application submission. Not eligible for CEC - applying under EE won't work either. xamagin, try FSW.

VO is not too happy with your LOE right? I know some members of this forum had sent updated LOEs without being requested (not recommended by CIC) and passed second review. "When" you're going to send one is really up to you, but sooner or later you'll have to send one with a detailed (vs generic) list of duties to convince the VO.

 

[mesumrizvi]

I got my job through Careeredge at GE Canada. Initially i provide LOE without any job description from Careeredge. The job description letter was from GE.
Now I got an updated LOE from Careeredge along with job description which were mentioned at the time of job posting. I can rephrase my job description from GE and sent it to CIC mentioning I am providing updated LOE with jd from Careeredge plus update JD from GE.
Do you think it is a good idea?

To clear the confusion? LOE from both would be a good idea. GE needs to clarify you were working for them through Careeredge. Both LOE should have similar list of duties.

The Careeredge LOE has 5-6 duties that were provided to them at the time of job posting, even their LOE says the JD was provided at the time of job posting. The GE LOE will have detailed JD incorporating the ones included in Careeredge letter. Will it work?

That's the best you can do right, and you're being honest - so the rest is up to the VO to figure out. VO can call your employers to try to understand your situation.

Looking for some help here.

I am a March 2014 applicant, still stuck in the queue.

I applied in March 2014. Received AOR in March 2014 itself. Recently ordered GCMS notes to find my file is stuck for review.

I worked in a NOC B category for the period July 2012 - September 2013, and then NOC A category from September 2013 - till date. While I submitted my most recent job experience (NOC A) letter in December 2014, will the CIC consider my latest job experience or the the one under which I applied? I had mentioned at the time of applying that I had completed six months with my present employer (NOC Code: 1112).

My previous employer (NOC B) is not very forthcoming in giving a detailed job description which has led to the issue.

Seniors please help with suggestions on steps I could take.
