Hi Aarti,
Thanks for the response. I sent a CSE yesterday with revised job offer letter and employment reference letter yesterday.now I wish CIC to reopen my application
Hi sand02,

I have one question. How was your offer of employment letter before? Was it a contract or a simple job offer?

My current offer of employment (assuming my lawyer sent the same I have), doesn't have the words permanent, indeterminate, non-seasonal, but its a big contract with resignation clauses and everything, which for me implies that it is a permanent position, otherwise you wouldn't need to state the clauses when you resign or get laid off.

Thank you,
Bruno

Hi brunofuster,

my old offer letter says it is a full time job for which i got 3 years LMO. But it didn't mention whether it is non-seasonal or indeterminate.

looking at the latest PPRs, I would say don't loose hope even if your offer letter doesn't have Permanent and Non - Seasonal.

I know someone who just got his PPR even though he had his contract dates with end date mentioned in the offer letter and also he didn't have Permanent or non seasonal on his offer letter or letter of employment.

So at the end of the day it is good to be careful but it all depends on the VO who is looking at your file.

Keep you hopes high because You can get approved even though you have mistakes and don't keep your hopes too high because you can get rejected even if you have no mistake because CIC will create a mistake out of your perfectly fine application :p :p if they want to

Pre-Assessed..
Back with updates guys,

As I creating a new profile, I discovered several mistakes which may have resulted my application being refused.

1. Employment Letter, time was wrong, should be 2014 instead of 2015
2. Job Offer, I should've select "No", instead of "Yes" and there are multiple error beyond this point such as "NOC code" on my work permit(I have a PGWP, and there's none code on it).
3. LMIA, at the bottom of work experience section, "Work Permit Required, LMIA Required" is selected instead of "Work Permit Required, but no LMIA Required"

I had a immigration consultant worked on my previous EE profile, and I'm not going to complain their professionalism of work, cause partially I'm responsible for not reviewing accuracy and completeness of my application.

So, a Lesson and an Reminder for all of us here, If you had a refusal on your application, don't complain, CIC refuses people for a reason, and if you say" but I double Checked! and they still refuses me!" my respond will be "SO SAD, TOO BAD THAT YOU DIDN'T TRIPLE CHECK!!!"

Anyway, I spent about 20 mins worked on my first new Profile, it ended up "Ineligible", simply because I didn't careful enough.

I spent double the time and paid extra attention in creating second one, and waited about 2 hours for the job bank code to arrive.

My new Profile is up and eligible, will contact BCPNP to let them re-confirm my nomination, hopefully, I can catch up next draw!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

I have recieved ITA on July 10th, and am finalizing gathering and uploading all of my documents. I am doing it on my own and am now nervous about the things I am reading here and being rejected.

when creating my EE profile. My score was 524 (no LMIA job offer). And I was offered an ITA for FSW.

I have sent for a LMIA bur have not yet recieved it.

Q. Should I continue to accept my ITA and apply for PR without the LMIA or should I decline it and wait for the LMIA

- Any idea how long LMIA takes to process?

Q. RE: letters of employment. I have contacted previous employers for reference letter, some have provided me with letters. whilst others have said "We do not wish to participate". Or others have said "this business is under new management, we have no records of the years that you worked here". What should I upload as my documents to support my employment.

- Are reference letters written in 2009 from previous employeers accepted although they do not state wage or hours worked?

Thank you for your advice.

Only the ITA matters - how you get it is immaterial. Continue with this without waiting for LMIA.

- Any idea how long LMIA takes to process?

Takes at least 2-3 months.

Q. RE: letters of employment. I have contacted previous employers for reference letter, some have provided me with letters. whilst others have said "We do not wish to participate". Or others have said "this business is under new management, we have no records of the years that you worked here". What should I upload as my documents to support my employment.

Fairly common problem. You can try contacting ex-colleague/supervisor and get them to sign a declaration which has all the details as required by CIC and get it notarized. Upload that along with their business card and a Letter of Explanation that highlights your unsuccessful attempts at contacting past employers and politely requests the officer to consider your application as complete.

- Are reference letters written in 2009 from previous employeers accepted although they do not state wage or hours worked?

They are still valid. If they don't stage hours worked, that could be a concern.

Thank you for your advice.

You have to write a letter of explanation stating all this Information. However still you need a bank certificate showing your balance as more than the required settlement funds. You also have to explain why you received the two cash deposits.

That is very critical situation for you, I would say just be very careful and provide letter of explanation with proof supporting every fact you state.
e.g. if possible get your friends write a letter saying that they owed money and repaid you
Also if you can prove that the paychecks are from the office you work in.

Does this mean you've now received the letter?

No, 1st one (in email) never came, so I did request 2nd one (email again, paper based can take 5-10 business days), still not showing. And I've been told by CIC call centre agent that preparing 2nd Decision letter can take up to 4 weeks (Yes, you didn't read wrong), and suggested me do not call them back before August 11th. My PNP expires beginning of Sep, and I don't need to depress anyone, I need action!

I decided to re-create me a new profile instead of waiting, and by doing this unveiled those mistakes.
