I am so sorry for just eloping like that. I was not well from last so many days so couldn’t come to the forum and did not reply. I am still not able to digest what just happened few days back, below is my refusal letter.
I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a skilled worker. I have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
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 may be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act.
In addition, according to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act:
11.2 An officer may not issue a visa or other document in respect of an application for permanent residence to a foreign national who was issued an invitation under Division 0.1 to make such an application if – at the time the invitation was issued or at the time the officer received their application – the foreign national did not meet the criteria set out in an instruction given under paragraph 10.3(1)(e) or does not have the qualifications on the basis of which they were ranked under an instruction given under paragraph 10.3(1)(h) and were consequently issued the invitation.
Section 11.2 of the Act requires that information provided in your Express Entry Profile concerning your eligibility to be invited to apply (10.3(1)(e)) as well as the qualifications on the basis of which you were ranked (10.3(1)(h)) be valid both at the time the invitation was issued and at the time the application for permanent residence is received.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited you to apply for permanent resident status based on the qualifications you claimed in your Express Entry profile. In your Express Entry profile you Claimed CRS and FSW points for the employment you performed as an Academic Counselor at TCY Learning Solutions PVT.LTD, National Occupation Classification (NOC 4021): College and other vocational instructors.
NOC 4021College and other vocational instructors includes instructors who teach applied arts, academic, technical and vocational subjects to students at community colleges, CEGEPs, agricultural colleges, technical and vocational institutes, language schools and other college level schools.
I am not satisfied that you meet the skilled work experience requirement(s) because the work experience you declared is not consistent with the lead statement and with a list of number of main duties of the declared NOC 4021.
After examining your self-declared employment letter, I note that you were an Online Tutor in the field of Mathematics to the primary students in the United Kingdom through an online platform designed by Cisco. You did not teach applied arts, academic, technical and vocational subjects to students at community colleges, CEGEPs, agricultural colleges, technical and vocational institutes, language schools and other college level schools.
This change in your qualifications resulted in a loss of points that brought your rank below the lowest ranking person who was invited to apply in your round of invitation, under the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System.
As I have found that you no longer possess the qualification on the basis of which you were ranked under an instruction given under paragraph 10.3(1)(h), you no longer meet the requirements of Section 11.2 of Act.
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.
You will receive a refund of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee that you have paid.
The decision communicated in this letter constitutes the definitive and final decision on your present application. Your application will be retained, under current Government of Canada file retention guidelines, for a period of two years. Your application forms and supporting documents will not be returned to you. If you should submit a new application it would require new fees and documentation and would need to meet all the requirements in effect at the time the application is submitted.
You must remove your Job Seeker profile from the Job Bank website as you are no longer an Express Entry candidate. You must also remove any references that you are a candidate for Express Entry from any private job board websites, if you used any.
If you still want to come to Canada as a skilled immigrant, you may take steps to improve your competitiveness and register for Express Entry at a later date. For example, you may try to improve your language score or gain a higher level of education. However, you must meet the minimum requirements to enter the Express Entry pool and there is no guarantee that you will be issued another invitation to apply for permanent residence under one of the immigration programs subject to Express Entry.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Yours sincerely, EN17050

I had a word with the CIC agent on Friday and he told me that application has been refused because educational qualification and work experience did not match with each other, but, I don’t think the refusal letter states the same, it’s quite confusing.
I had asked my consultant before applying the case that will it affect my case that, ‘I have done Bachelors in Commerce and MBA in finance and I have worked as an online tutor in Maths and an academic trainer, will it lead to refusal or not’ and they were so affirmative that this will not have any negative implication on your case. I did tell them I can wait for another year and get the experience in my field and then apply but they were so confident and told me not to waste my another year on the same and apply on the basis of the information that I have and this is what I have got.
I am completely heartbroken and don’t have the courage left to trust any consultant again. So, here I am back in the forum seeking help from you all, kindly, tell me, which is the relevant job on the basis of my qualification (Bachelors in commerce and MBA in Finance and Marketing), so that I can have a work experience of 1 year in that field and then apply for the PR.
Please help, I will be really obliged and if I am bothering anyone, I am really sorry. Thanks!

Hi Ravleen , it never says your NOC code and education dosen't match. Rather it shows visa officer is not satisfied with experience letter you have shown. In this case there is still better hope since you were already working in the same field now as college instructor. Iam not sure how much of work experience you carry now as college instructor , in case it is more than a year you are still eligible to create Express entry profile. dont rely on consultant as they are more of money making techniques since you are now more experienced in CIC process.
I agree, the issue is with your employment letter. I think the responsibilities that you have mentioned in your letter doesn't match with (at lest 70%) the responsibilities declared for that particular NOC. Your letter is also self declared which might have created some level of suspicion. You need to work on your employment letter and make sure your duties match at least 70% of the NOC defined duties. You can also try to get a reference letter from your colleague and notarize it since you don't have official letter head.
Don't loose hope...now you know what is the issue with your application....this is a positive thing....best of luck!!!
Thumb rule is around 70%...thats my understanding from different threads..check this out

Shake Hands !!
.I am in neither group. But i will be active on this forum. Sure we will keep each other updated.
Sorry again for what happened. Hopefully you get your PR asap!Thank you for your kind words
If you don't mind asking, were you in IP2 when this happened? And are you a CEC or FSW applicant?
I'm also waiting for my PPR and my situation is almost like you. The job I'm doing is on the same field of my education.
Thank you.
Hi Ravleen I feel extremely sorry for you becoz you are no where at fault as you had asked the consultant previously itself regarding your job letter n experience
But seriously do not lose hope you can try again but only after studying properly.
What was your CRS score?
What was your ielts score?
Your experience years?
I m asking you so that we can calculate n try again for you?
Sorry if I m bothering you but I really want to help you n support you
