I had applied for PR through Express entry CEC and after fulfilling all the requirements. I came to Canada as a worker on the 14th of Sep 2019 and I had submitted my PR application on the 30th of Sep 2020 after receiving ITA on the 16th of Sep for the profile that I created on the 1st anniversary of my work experience in Canada, which is exactly after one, and I just received a refusal letter from IRCC stating the below, that I didn’t fulfil the mandatory 1-year Canadian experience. The letter they based their refusal is a letter of appointment that I received from my company when I was posted to my current role and even though I also supplied a letter of employment which states that I’m currently working at the same position and will be continuing to be employed for the next 4 years, my applicated was refused.
Furthermore, the letter they had mentioned to refer their refusal decision has indicated for how long I will be on the post, and submitting my application after I successfully completed 1 full Canadian experience should have been enough to approve my application. I believe it’s a mistake from the IRCC side.
They said the document only confirms the start date, of course, it can't confirm the end date as I'm still working for the company. What should I do?????????????
I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the Canadian Experience Class and have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, applicants in the Canadian Experience Class are assessed on the basis of the pass/fail requirements set out in subsection R87.1(2). The assessment of these criteria determines whether a worker with Canadian experience will be able to become economically established in Canada. The criteria are:
temporary resident status during the qualifying period of work experience in Canada,
meeting the minimum language proficiency threshold in either English or French, and
Qualifying Canadian skilled work experience.
Your application was assessed based on the occupation(s) which you identified as part of your skilled work experience in Canada: (2019-09 – 2020-09)
I am not satisfied that you meet the skilled work experience requirement(s). You declared 1 year of Canadian Work Experience. The employment record (dated 2019-06-12) you provided, confirms your start date only. Based on this documentation, I am not satisfied that you have completed at least one year of qualifying work in Canada as required by
R87.1(2)(a).
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.
