Hi
I had applied for a PGWP back in March 2020 and have just recieved a refusal letter.
In the letter they have mentioned that my application does not qualify under the "International Mobility Program" and that I DO NOT meet the requirements of a " Spousal Open Work Permit ". The letter then goes on to say that they think that my financial proof and family ties does not convince them that I will leave Canada at the end of my stay.
Firstly my application was for a Post Graduate Work Permit and I had submitted my transcripts and confirmation of graduation letter from my college. There were no study gaps and my study permit was valid when I had applied for the post graduate work permit. This was NOT a spousal open work permit application.
Secondly the online application questionnaire never asked me to upload my financial documents, only my graduation letter and transcripts.
Upon careful review of my application forms I noticed that I was supposed to mention the name of my potential employer as " Post Graduate Work Permit " in question 2.a. As is stated in the application guide. However I did not mention that in question 2.a.
However, I feel CIC has processed my application under Spousal Work Permit rather than a Post Graduate Work Permit,, if they would have spent even a few minutes reading my application and seen the attached documents they would have known that it was a Post Graduate Work Permit Application.
Moreover, considering the 180 days are over since my graduation , I cant even reapply as the deadline for applying for PGWP is over.
Please advise how I can contact CIC and discuss this error with them.
Thanks all !
