Hi,

I applied for my permanent residence last August and was just refused today :(
Initially I had applied under the 1 year postgraduate and 1 year of full time work experience stream. My application was declined due to the education component of my application not being accepted. In addition, the 2 year full time work experience stream was also declined as I only had 1.5 years of work experience. However, with the new CEC rules effective January 2013, only 1 year of full time work experience is required!

Why is my application still being processed under the old rules and a whole new essentially identical application is now required??

This makes absolutely no sense as I do meet the 1 year current requirement.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
D

The new guideline applies to applications that are filed after 1st January 2013. All the earlier applications will be considered under older guidelines..
 
This is typical government bureaucratic protocol. When it comes to government agencies unfortunately logic does not come into play. Sorry to hear of your rejection Darinka. There are a few people in the same boat as you that I have seen. They get rejected for an application pre 2013 but tick all the boxes in regards to hours post 2013. :'(
 
Thanks everyone.

Do you know if I will have to send NEW police certificates even though they kept the ones from my rejected application? Can I send a copy?
 
Unfortunately you will have to get a new PC.
