Resubmit the CEC application

[resubmitmypr]

hi Seniors,
I applied for my PR under CEC using NOC code 2173 (as it was closest to my job duties). However, after applying I realized that the NOC code on my WP was 2171. So, I went ahead and withdrew my application. I got a confirmation from CPP-O that my application has been withdrawn successfully. I withdrew the application within 3 weeks of receiving the AOR (AOR received - 14th Jun, application successfully withdrawn from CPP-O - 3rd July 2013)

Now, I would like to reapply using the NOC code on my WP (2171). Consequently, I would need to add additional job responsibilities in my employment verification letter. My employer is willing to do that. I am not planning to remove any of the existing job responsibilities from the letter. My question is, will it be a problem if I reapply using new NOC code (2171) and additional job responsibilities in my employment letter? Would VOs be referring to my old application and validating it against my new application for NOC code and employment verification letter?

The NOC on your WP does not affect your PR application. The duties mentioned in
your reference letter have to match the NOC you apply with. That's it - that's all.
Now that you've already withdrawn your application you have to get a reference letter
that includes duties which match the ones mentioned on the NOC 2171 site.

And I don't know if VO can cross-check with previous applications.

iam_toby, are you sure the NOC need not match with WP? Couple of my friends have got query asking to explain why they don't match. I also remember reading similar issues with others in the forum.

 

[iam_toby]

I'm pretty sure. Mine doesn't match. And companies sometimes have different titles
for positions that don't match HRSDC's titles and NOCs.
That's why VOs are advised to cross-check the duties from reference letter with
the duties mentioned for the NOC you apply under.

At least that's what I've been reading here all the time, and how I filled out my application,
as I have an open WP and no NOC mentioned on my WP.

Any advice on should I add additional responsibilities (that I do perform but were missing earlier) to my employment verification letter so that the NOC code on my WP matches my responsibilities ?

I don't think this will be an issue, especially if there aren't material differences between the NOC codes. If you think it will help, it may not hurt to attach a letter explaining why you withdrew your previous application (i.e. that you identified you used the wrong NOC code on your initial application).

This isn't necessarily true. If you were on a closed WP, and you are only supposed to work under that specific NOC code, then applying under a different code than your WP could have your eligible work experience deemed unauthorized (i.e. you weren't working based on the conditions set out on your WP). This has happened for many cases posted here on the forum.

I meant it like the NOC should be related to the one on your WP, but doesn't necessarily have to be the
exact same? I have a closed WP but no NOC mentioned on my WP. On my WP they only printed an occupation.

Yes, I am planning to attach an explanation letter as to why I withdrew my earlier application.

What do you mean by material differences? My NOC code as per WP is 2171. I used 2173 in my previous application (that I withdrew).

Based on my understanding from a call that I had with one of CIC call center person, the NOC code must match the one on the WP. My WP didn't listed a NOC code and the CIC person told me that not every WP has NOC listed. Sometimes, they list the occupation. But the occupation is inherently linked to a particular NOC code. He was able to help me with the NOC code as CIC had that in their record for my WP (even though my WP didn't had it printed on it).

If your WP doesn't list a code, but instead has an occupation, you can call CIC call center asking for the code.

Anyone having any similar experiences? Anyone ever tried to send a updated Employment verification letter with additional duties? Kindly share your experience.

Anybody with any experience. Will appreciate the help.

I don't think VO is going to check what you entered in the withdrawn application.
NOC in your work permit and application must match. If you search by 'rejected', you can see a few applications rejected because of non matching NOC. Even one of my friends' application was rejected because of the same.
WP clearly mentions that the holder is not authorized to do any other occupation than the one identified in the WP.

So you don't really have any other option than to apply with a new letter and correct NOC. I think you should be fine since the application never reached any eligibility check.

Thanks Kevin. This helped a lot.
