I Came to Canada on October 2017 as a student and studied for 2 complete years at a College in Montreal, QC. I finished my studies on October --, 2019 I got my final transcript and a final letter from the college.
I applied on the same day for a Post graduation work permit, and waited till I got an answer (Starting January --, 2020, I was in implied status, as my study and work permit and student visa all expired on December --, 2019)
On February --, 2020, I got a reply from CIC, and they said the following:
" Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is therefore refused.
After the college registrar office looked into this issue!
They discovered that the transcript shows as if I missed some semesters, and that's because in their system, if a grade has been entered late in the system it will be entered in the coming semester and not the actual semester.
Therefor the college corrected the transcript and gave me an explanation letter, then we sent a reconsideration letter on February --, 2020.
10 days later, I received a new letter from CIC, Saying:
"This letter is in response to the receipt of additional submissions dated February --, 2020, pertaining to your application for a Work Permit that was received on November --, 2019.
Your application was considered on its substantive merits and has been refused. You were provided with the reasons for refusal by letter dated February --, 2020, thereby fully concluding your application. After considering the additional submissions, the initial decision to refuse your application remains unchanged."
We already sent a new application on February --, 2020, including a status restoration, a PGWP and a study permit.
Now I should wait for 3 month to get an answer. During this period I will be out of status.
Based on my brief explanation, and I assure you I was a Full time Student and Have never missed an hour during my 2 years of study.
Do you think that the new PGWP application will be accepted?
As the college has explained the issue and gave me a new transcript, although that document was sent along with the reconsideration letter to the CIC, and the refusal decision has not been changed!
Any suggestions or any other options that I have to look for?
Thank you a lot.
