Post e-APR Process and Common Reasons for Rejection

@DelPiero07,

In both my employments, the designation name was changed. Not a promotion but the designation name was changed. I do not have any official documents to confirm the change, the thing that worries me is that the Designation in reference letter has a different name to that of the designation mentioned in other employment documents.

I have explained this in LOE, but no official document. What should I do about this?

You dont need an official document, you need only explain that although the designation name changed, your duties/responsibilities remained the same so that your NOC was unaffected.

@DelPiero07,

1. Do I need to show credit of my salary to an account, like Bank Statements?
2. Is Salary Slips (3 slips for the last year of employment and 02 each for other years) to confirm the salary, sufficient?
3. In my current employment, I have attached last 06 months salary slips and 02 from each previous years. Is this sufficient?
4. Do the salary slips need to be certified?
5. Can you provide me a Affidavit format for translation of marriage certificate?

1- No
2- Most likely.
3- Most likely.
4- No, they do not have to be certified.
5- I'm usually on my phone when answering questions so I do not have something like that at my disposal.

Hi, I have applied for EE and I need to collect my PCCs. My question is about my PCC from my home country. 1- I am originally from Iran. My latest PCC from Iran is in Jan/2017. After that for about 45 days I was in Malaysia and came back to Iran and stayed there for about 45 days and left Iran in April/2017. Does this PCC (dated in Jan/2017) work as I did not stay in Iran for 6 months or I have to apply for the new one? 2- My PCC from Malaysia is dated in October 2017. And I have not gone to Malaysia since March/2017. Do I still need to update this PCC? I would be extremely grateful to you, if you could kindly help me.

Please answer if you know that, my offer letter dated 2016 and it's permanent. do I need to get new offer letter for submitting in e-APR?

Thanks

 

[viki1805]

Regarding the education section : do the transcripts need to be attached with it as well ? I havent submitted my application yet, but I only uploaded degrees with ECA in the pdf.

I do not think so. But, I think you should prove that you have been working there. Double check it.

It is written on the website transcript as well as degree.

Good day Billhyatt and all, please i have a question and I would like to know if anyone has ever been in my shoe, my application is now 9 months.

LVO told me last month that my file has been transferred to my Local visa office and that I will be contacted for an interview.

Although, I have ordered a Gcms note which is yet to arrive. Something just came to my mind which I overlooked initially. I am worried and have a concern because I worked with a small company from 2011 to 2014, when I joined the company in 2011, they were using a registered business name but a new name was later created, re-registered and upgraded to "Limited liability" in 2013. For example "Divine motors" now changed to "Divine motors & haulage limited" When I got reference letter last year from the company, it wasn't stated in the letter that the company used an old name. The company wrote I worked with "Divine motors & haulage Limited" from 2011 to 2014

Also, while filling my work & personal history during E-APR, I didn't mention the old name, I just wrote that I work with the company from 2011 to 2014 using the company's new name because I felt it was same company (my employment and confirmation letter are on the company's old letter head while my resignation letter is on the company's new letterhead)

I didn't write this in LOE and I only submitted a reference letter from the company (It stated that I worked with them from 2011 to 2014)

My questions
(1) Is this misrepresentation?
(2) Should I raise a CSE and explain the situation and submit documents that I have for this job or should i wait and explain this during the interview?
(3) Should I request for another reference letter from my former employer stating that the company used an Old name and resumbit the letter via CSE?
(4) Is it too late to raise a CSE and explain this whole situation.
(5) Will swearing and affidavit suffice?

I need all inputs. Thanks

Part 2 of 2: Most Common Reasons for Rejection

Most common is PCC:

a. Not included

b. No Coloured Scan attached

c. Dates don't cover complete period of stay (for e.g. you stayed in one address until 13th August but PCC cover dates till 31st July – don’t miss even one day)

d. The wrong PCC attached (includes not attaching PCC where you have lived more than 6 months – calculate your stay duration by adding all stays and include PCC if combine stay is 180 days or more)

e. LOE: Not writing explanation of why you weren’t able to attach PCC required and what you have done so far – attach evidence such as PCC Application submitted

f. Incomplete Documents – Some countries require additional documents such as consent forms for IRCC to directly get info therefore, it is important to read carefully CIC Guidance for each specific country before applying.

g. States PCC – Some countries do not have Central/Federal PCC System and therefore, you are advised to get PCC from all states you have lived (For work, study, and residential purpose excluding short stays). In addition, read CIC guidance, as they sometimes require Federal PCC as well instead of just State PCC.

h. Change in Circumstance such as visiting country after having PCC will not remain valid so you need to be careful and may need to apply for PCC again.


Medical Reports:

a. This includes failure to get Upfront Medical or After Letter from IRCC for any reason.

b. In addition, if you have any physical or mental issues the IRCC will reject your application and will advise you to set a meeting with your panellist for further advice or treatment plans – I know some people who recovered after some medication or physiatrist help and got PR later on.

c. Very rare but most significant error I saw was when one person submitted a report from a doctor who was not registered as approved panellist – see from CIC website before booking appointment.

d. Ensure you know what tests are required. Although, it is very rare on one occasion candidate only told panellist that she needs a test for Canada not indicating PR (nowadays for EE) and result was that Full Examination was not done resulting in rejection. {However, that panellist was dropped from approved list after short time but you must be careful if you are not booking appointment from well-reputed institute or Doctor.}


Conversion of Files:

a. Only convert files in the approved format and not just what suits best to you

b. If you are using software’s or online tools for PDF conversion then it is recommended to test it on different readers (such as Foxit or Adobe) before submitting. IRCC will be using Adobe Acrobat so make sure your files (all pages) will open in it. There is a case where IRCC rejected the incomplete application due to files not opening in Adobe (file was converted using Foxit).

c. Your documents must be clear and readable after reducing its size (it is recommended to not have a file below 150)

d. Always convert or scan your file in Color version unless where states by the IRCC to have a grayscale or black and white.


Passport and Visa Status:

a. It is important to attach your Passports and Residential Cards (if applicable) along with your file.

b. Make sure all pages with stamps are also included as IRCC rejected the application in past for not having a stamp for existing of one of the countries.


Education:

a. Not including ECA report or only including ECA number

b. Not including Degrees and Transcripts – please note that IRCC will reject incomplete files unlike OINP, which asks for additional information.

c. If you have distant learning course or studied in a different country than where the Institute is located then include this in Letter of Explanation and clearly mention your status.


Experience:

a. Not including Job responsibility letters or not matching with NOC.

b. Documents submitted cannot be verified the due lack of information of company available online.

c. Company registered in the house or residential area that may raise the question on quality of work performed.

d. Could not answer questions or satisfy officer during a formal interview.


These are the most common Reasons identified from the sample of more than 1,000 applicants in 2016/17.

Hello, I read that the transcripts where not mandatory but only ECA + degree scans, here :

They have a doubtful company. Did you received any additional ADR regarding your employment from CIC. You stuck post ITA in this stage since when?
