Post e-APR Process and Common Reasons for Rejection

[ammad88]

Well, with all due respect, my suggestion was not for you.
Plus, extra information would't always be unnecessary, otherwise there would not be many people who also included ECA & language test, which are not asked, either (and I am sure our records of ECA & language tests can be retrieved even more easily).

I know it was not for me but i appreciated your effort. With regards to ECA and IELTS TRF, they say that it is not necessary to submit it but we may ask you at a later time. On the contrary I have never heard of old/expired passports ever being asked by an applicant. If you have any such information, please feel free to share it with us.

IRCC mentions a scanned copy of ECA may be requested later in the web page of completeness check, but not the language test (fyi, IELTS isn't the only test for EE), yet people got ADR for the language test proof. There is also no such warning in the help/explanation section of e-APR.

As for whether people got ADR asking for information related to expired passports, see:

Remember (and again), my suggestion was based on an extreme situation (i.e., no travel history with the current passport). In addition, the instruction seen in your post #1666 states "must" but not "only need to". In respect of the extreme situation I intended to address, I would resort to a more conservative approach. If you disagree, please reply directly to the inquirer and express your concern there.

Hi all, I have a question. if the ECA expires after getting a provincial nomination but before receiving the ITA or few days after e-APR application. is it neccessary to apply to WES for a new ECA before applying? Have you ever seen a rejection due to expired ECA?

My biggest question:

Is it so hard to submit all pages of all passports?

If it is, wouldn't it be worse to be rejected?

It's better to err for exceeding than to err for lacking.

Hi, I am feeling nervous as I feel they can reject my application.
1) My employment letter from a job which I quit 7 years ago contained only address of the company but not telephone and email. Later after application submission, I have uploaded a director’s business card through the online form
2) My PCC from Kazakhstan where I used to live for 2 years.
I traveled to Kazakhstan to get a PCC from there in August 22. So I got it and left country on August 30. And then submitted my application on September 25. So seems like my PCC did not cover period of my recent visit from august 22 to august 30. Now I think it can be a refusal reason. Nevertheless, after application submission my friend in Kazakhstan managed to get a new PCC dated October 10. I have uploaded it through the online form also.
How dangerous are my mistakes? Will my uploads after the application submission be take into account?

Hey!
M single n I have applied for PR through PNP+EE. I received d nomination from Alberta in May end. My medical n PCC is done. Biometrics was done on 5th of August. M still waiting for PPR. How much time it will take to get PPR?

 

[Vanlmm]

lol...Yes 5...Too many silly mistakes...

I'm guessing this didn't raise any issues, were you contacted for any additional information?

Nah no one contacted me.

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.

Hi Bill-
My AOR date is: 2-Nov-2019. My application is through PNP.
I have only uploaded ECA report and not uploaded Education / Degree certificates, and on 15-Nov-2019 I have raised a CSE through webform and sent them Education documents. Will this leads to rejection? I am bit worried.

Please advise.
