Refusal due to oversight of a bachelor degree which is already on record

[God_Loves_All]

I filed for Permanent Residence as a skilled worker. I am a Chartered Accountant and I have 2 bachelor degrees: 1. Bachelor of Commerce and 2, LL B (also called BL – Bachelor of Laws). I was given 66 points as against the minimum requirement of 67.

The Officer mentions in the letter: “….you were granted 20 points for your education because you have ‘a’ Bachelor’s degree. Your professional designation as an accountant does not grant you further points because the chartered accountancy does not qualify as an educational credential with the definition in Regulation 73…..”

It appears one of the degrees is missed out while going through my papers. We have claimed both and also submitted documentation (marks and degree certificates) for both of them. My attorney's office confirms this.

The attorney’s office sent for reconsideration and we are waiting for response. I am worried if it will bring a positive response and I get the approval.

Has anybody else gone through the same kind of experience? How good are they in revising their decision when there is some lapse?

I will update as soon as I get response.

Hi All,

I am responding to everybody who wished good and sending suggestions through this update. First of all, thanks for all the good wishes and messages.

My attorney is Campbell Cohen (somebody asked this detail and I have confirmed with their office before parting with the info on a public forum). He and his office are great. They analyzed all my documents, evaluated and advised me on every aspect right before filing. They suggested me to take the IELTS exam which I did and sent them the results. When I got refusal letter they stood by my side. They were very quick in asking for Reconsideration. The Canadian Embassy and the Officer were very kind and gave me an interview date and time. The Officer went over my education once again. He had some questions. I explained and showed him documentary proof supporting what I explained. He considered everything and finally approved my application. I have to comply with all the requirements like Medical tests, etc.and realize my dream finally!

It was a good experience on the whole. My best wishes to all!!

You have a very good consultant. My consultant upon learning about my rejection on JD mismatch, instead of standing by my side..they advised me to wait and re-apply. It took them more than a month to step up and to finally re-appeal for their clients when threatened by refund of fees!

hi dreamfromafar,
I will go with the advice the attorneys give as they know the case and the Law better. That is what I did from the beginning and I am happy I did...
Each case is different and it is not good to judge one from another.
Best wishes for successful immigration and happy life!

Thanks,
