Residency Denied

[joec19]

I was denied residency because I am told my work experience did not fit the criteria for the NOC category I filed under. Two questions:

Will my paperwork all be returned to me?

Can I re-apply if my long-term Canadian girlfriend sponsors me as a common law partner?

If the paperworks are original documents, yes.

Yes, your girl friend can sponsor you if you can prove common-law relationship.

When did you apply? If you applied after 26 June 2010, and you sent the full application to CIO, then recent applicants who have passed the completeness check but failed the eligibility review have been told they will not receive the file back at all (not even original documents), since CIO will keep it on record. All they get back is the fee refunded.

Doesn't seem right or fair to me but this is what some post-June-26 applicants have been saying.

Say I were to obtain employment under a work permit. Could I just send a copy of the letter denying residency under category 1, along with a letter from my employer and copy of work permit...in addition to a new fee payment form, and would this satisfy re-application under category 2 - Arranged Employment? I would assume it may since they already have the remaining documentation.
