I am not satisfied that you meet the skilled work experience requirement because you have failed to established that you have acquired at least 12 months of full-time work experience in one or more occupations that are listed in Skill Type O, A or B of National Occupational Classification matrix. In reaching this decision, I considered that the reference letter provided in support of your employment at ABC did not provide any detail of the business i.e. address, phone number or even the web-site. Likewise, T4 for 2012, issued by this employer, did not list its address as well. I, therefore, could not consider this reference letter as a substantive evidence of your claimed employment and did not award you credit for this. Your second employment at Xyz started on November 19, 2012 and accounted for less than ten (10) months of employment until the date of receipt of your application on September 09, 2013.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or for any other document required by the Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act. Subsection 2(1) specifies that unless otherwise indicated, references in the Act to “this Act” include regulations made under it.
Following an examination of your application, I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Act and Regulations for the reasons explained above. I am therefore refusing your application.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Yours sincerely,
Case Officer – NS05229
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
