REFUSAL

[Pippin]

I am no expert, but from reading your description it sounds like human error that must be corrected. How would this application have made it past CIO if it did not meet the Ministerial Instructions of having ONE YEAR OF CONTINUOUS EMPLOYMENT in one of the NOC 38 professions? I don't know when you submitted your full documents, but there was an OP Bulletin 173 issued 8 Jan 2010 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2010/ob173.asp which states the one year of continuous employment can be made up of several jobs in one or more eligible NOCs. You may want to familiarize yourself with this bulletin as I am not sure whether you were working in the same NOC and with the EMPLOYER since 2003 from your information and it might give you an even stronger case. All the BEST!

maybe you can save that letter in WORD, then you give copy, and paste it here; just an idea.

I applied on that category on August 2009 and it was approved (or embassy acknowledged receipt of application only not approval)I even got my File # January 2010,at the final stage every thing was alright even my show money and the other documents he ask,the certification from my employer which is clearly stated that I haven worked from 2003 to present but when I received the letter from my the embassy through my consultant it was stated that I don't have a continuous work experience on that field. will upload my certification and the refusal letter and please advise me if i can still appeal. how to upload my certification and refusal?

I'm not an expert nor senior in this forum, my views based on your sharing is the embassy did not give you any points on your work experiences? The first thing that enter my mind was, is your educational qualification match with your work experiences? Because that's my case when we (my husband & i)were deciding who will be the principal applicant. My educational qualification didn't match with my job experiences at least in the last 10 years. I'm an accounting graduate but my job is total different though i was a bookkeeper for 4 years in a bank but that was 16 years ago though. So we felt that I'm not a good candidate. We didn't use a consultant & got our file no after a month...my thoughts. Check again your papers & it's your right to make an appeal you know better. Or is it the job of your consultant to make an appeal?

I don't think the Visa Officer is allowed to consider whether Educational Qualifications match occupation in the FSW1 category, only that you performed the required job duties for the correct period of time. Have been trying to find documentation that states this and it is hiding from me right now! It was discussed in another thread as well this week.

 

[micuza2004]

I agree with that, VO only is looking for your job duties to match on their NOC code; the qualifications(educational degrees) only apply for educational points, not for the work experience; of course, this doesn't apply to doctors, or nurses.

Should I or Should I not?

Hi,
I am at serious Emergency.
Need your frank comments please.
I am in the process of applying for F1 (Student) Visa for USA. Now, I have to submit a questionnaire. The last question in that questionnaire is- Did you apply for immigration or citizenship to any other country? If yes, then which country and what is the status of your application.

Please, I know it is awkward, but given the fact that my being a potential immigrant to Canada, the US consulate may reject me from Student VISA there. So, should I disclose that I have applied for Canadian Immigration in the Student Visa form for US?

I have only 24 hours to decide. I am sincerely looking for your pragmatic suggestion (no matter how awkward it is!).

Think Positive rue apply when its comes about Visa process... i would recommand you to meantioned about Canada Immigration status .. as its also illustrate then you are not willing to over stay there once your studies will be finnished you will be moved to Canada plus it would me more benificial if you got some relative in canada for that you can pretent you gonna join them after your studies .

wish you good luck

It is bad when your application is returned. Ours was also returned due to a over sight in our agents part. One piece of paper work was not included in our application. We have now had to gather new docs required under new rules as our first app was before 26th June. Next week we get IELTS results from my husbands test,then we are ready to apply again. Our agent was paid £6,200 to date of refusal. Its a very sad day when its returned. You have to stay strong and reapply asap. I wish everyone good luck. Keep the forum going strong ;D

I think £6200 is an unthinkable amount of money to charge, only to fail by neglecting to check the paper work correctly!

If I'd paid over £6000 and they'd made such a mistake on my application I think I would now be suing them for incompetence. Unless your case is particularly complicated I cannot see why anyone really needs an immigration lawyer, there is enough information on CIC website and on these forums to do it yourself. As well as the extortionate fees they charge just to help you fill in a few forms, I have heard they can slow the process down since you have additional delays with the agent being the middle man between you and CIC/VO.

Its not that the case was complicated ,its what i thought best at the time. Then i found the forum. Prob through not researching enough to look for help like this. Everyone learns by there mistakes.Paperwork will be getting lodged again soon. Hopefully without any problems. As i said you do what you think is right at the time.

 

[smiler 11]

I see you stay in England. The same as myself.

canadian provincial nominee(cpnis) the consultant I paid whom i paid for me is so much.he collected money from me $5000 plus..but then still nothing happened.upon receiving the refusal letter, it was stated on that letter that immigration will send my refund of $2000 4 to 8 weeks,but when i ask dr. alemi he told me that there is no refund...Grrr....I've lost all my saving for this kind of consultant and then he cannot do nothing on my case.He is asking me $2000 again to be able to know the whole reason of my refusal but nothing will change still i cannot appeal.
