Today I got a message for my Permanent Residency application that it is rejected for being incomplete!

Particular reason given is because it does not contain: "A completed Education Credential Assessment (ECA) issued for immigration purposes was not included with your electronic application"

I double checked my documents uploaded and files(Filenames) that I uploaded it had ECA report from WES included alongside other education credentials under Education (diplomas/degrees) section. I feel so bad that it took almost two year to get nominated from a province and then get rejected for a reason that looks totally invalid! Can someone please help me here how can I progress or what should I do?

Create express entry profile again and request Alberta (AINP) to somehow transfer nomination to new express entry profile or my chances or gone :(

Looking forward to your valuable advice.

Send a case specific inquiry and request reconsideration (and that they reopen your file). Let them know the missing document was in fact included with your application.

Can you confirm that you submitted the right kind of WES report?

Have you requested that WES send a copy of your report to IRCC? If you haven’t, do it immediately on the WES portal.

AINP surely does not want to lose nominated candidates, so they sort of want to be on your side. If your nomination is still valid, you can submit another EE application with that nomination. Contact AINP for details.

If your nomination is less than 6 months, then it's still valid and can be transferred to another profile!

Then your ECA by all means should be ok.

Are you sure because AINP replied they can’t transfer nomination to another profile?
Most nominations have 6 months validity and can be transferred within that time frame as long as your PR application was not rejected - it's fine if it was returned as incomplete. Did you explain to them that your application was deemed incomplete, not rejected?

Read the conditions on the certificate you were issued to know more.

This is what IRCC wrote: "Your application is rejected for being incomplete and therefore, was not put into processing."

This is what AINP replied: "The AINP Nomination Certificate AEEXXXXXX is only valid for the Express Entry (EE) Profile number stated on your certificate (i.e. EXXXXXXX). Please note that Alberta provincial nominations are not transferable from one express entry profile to another.

If your EE profile EXXXXX is no longer valid, you can choose to complete a new Express Entry Profile and start the process again. You will have to wait to see if your new EE profile is selected in one of AINP’s future draws. If it is, you will receive a new Notification of Interest (NOI) and you would then need to submit a new application package at that time."

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has assessed your application for permanent
residence. We have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of a
complete application
as described in sections 10 and 12.01 of the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Regulations. Your application is rejected for being incomplete.
Specifically, your application does not include the following elements:

-Police Certificate
The Police certificate(s) from the country of your current residence is/are issued
more than six months prior to the date your application was submitted.

Note: A full review of your application was not performed. There may be other elements, not
identified above, which may also be missing or incomplete.
Refund of fees
As we are rejecting your application, CIC will refund the fees that you have paid. This includes a
refund of the processing fee and the Right of Permanent Residence Fee, if you have already paid
this fee.

Should we answer yes to both questions below? Any help is appreciate. Thank you.

I've created a new EE application and about to apply for the second time. In my "application/profile details" Form, in a "Statutory Questions" section I have to questions:

1. Has ***** you been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?

2. Has ***** ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?
