Refusal letter today.
Due to personal circumstances I have had to go back to the UK anyway. So it's a nice bit of closure as I wait for my flight back home. But I wanted to share the reasons mine was rejected to help others.
My previous letter of employment was insufficient in outlining evidence of main duties. So look up that NOC code and get your employers to outline the required experience.

Anyways good luck on your Canada journey! I have had an amazing 2.5 years out here and you are all in for a great adventure!

Best of luck x

I made my homework then and somehow it worked.
Can you apply again

Sorry to hear that! Did they ask for any ADR or PFL? Or straight up rejection?

I've just got a ghost update and realized that my medical status has changed from "medical passed" to "you do not need a medical exam". What does it mean? What will happen next? My AOR was Dec 21.

Your CoPR has an expiration and your visa does too. Land before the earliest of those dates. If your medical expires before one of those dates, land before that, just to be sure no date will be a problem.

You can land anywhere. If you don't have a PNP, it certainly won't cause any issues to land in a non-Quebec province. If you happen to land in Quebec, they might ask questions to make sure you don't intend to live there. If you have a PNP from Ontario and you land outside Ontario, they might ask about that too, but it shouldn't cause any issues.

You should have 2 copies of your CoPR, one of which has a photo. Bring both and do not sign them. You will sign them in the presence of the officer and they will keep the copy with the photo.

No other tips other than to enjoy your new life in Canada!

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. The visa stamp has expiry date of 9-Jan-2020 and COPR has the same date as "valid to". So that's the date for me then before which I have to land.

I am not PNP but through Express Entry, so based on your reply I understand that I can land anywhere.

You may be requested to do a medical exam again. Please see this: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/december-2018-aor-join-here.598089/page-813#post-8195712

straight up rejection. I had called a few times before where they said everything was fine as well. My background check was completed January 29th and I was told that was the hold up, when actually it was my employment.

You will see this system update when your medicals expire. IRCC will either extend your medical validity. In that case status will change back to Medical Passed. Or they will request a re-medicals. In that case status will change to something like 'We have sent you a medical request form....'

That sucks, I thought they would ask something in cases like these. I dont know how appeals work, but can you do that with updated job duties letter? Or are you gonna re-apply?

That really sucks.. I'm sorry! I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure you have good grounds for appeal if they never asked for an ADR or communicated any issue with you, so long as you can provide updated employment documentation. I'm sure I've read about rejection cases that get reconsidered this way.. at least it's worth a shot..

I totally agree... Get a lawyer and send updated and detailed job descriptions to better evidence the match with your NOC. Wish you good luck.

The fact is I have still 3 months before my medical expires. That's the reason why I dont understand this change.
