One of my colleagues has applied from Montreal (Aor Jan) and he got an email for concerns on his intentions to leave Quebec. He has submitted LOE with proofs while submitting the application. The content of the message are:
Proof of residency : I have reviewed the information you provided and I am not Satisfied that you intent to reside outside Quebec at time of becoming a permanent resident. Please provide and updated address / new job offer/proof that you will complying with 87.1
(1) For the purposed of subsection 12(2) of the Act, the Canadian experience class is prescribed as a class of a person who may become permanent residents on the based of their ability to become economically established in Canada, their experience in Canada , and their intention to reside in a province other than province of Quebec.The information MUST satisfy an officer of your intention to reside outside Quebec at the time of become a permanent resident, and not merely after becoming a permanent resident. This be received at this office by (DATE)
A little background: He has studied in Vancouver in 2009, after that applied for jobs in Van but couldn't get any offer ( maybe recession time) move back to the country of origin worked and then moved to Aus on WP and then 2.5 years ago moved to Montreal on closed WP. During the last 10 years, he has applied for jobs in Vancouver and has all records which he submitted with his letter of intent. He mentioned in letter that due to nature of our industry which normally works on contracts and projects, preference is for PR as his visa for Quebec itself last time took 6/7 months so companies usually are not willing to wait that long and he will leave once get PR as it will be easier to get an offer. Ok and he is a single guy.He got a week to submit further proofs or intention and he submitted all job application and chats the same evening he got request and the next day not even 24 hours, he got the rejection email.
Now my scenario is somewhat similar yet different too. I came on closed WP to Vancouver, after 1-year Canadian experience applied for PR claiming job offer points, the contract didn't extend and lost 50 points hence PR application was refused. Applied for jobs in Van but hiring was slow , got offer from Montreal which I grabbed as only 5 months left for WP to end and didn't have enough points to apply for PR from Van ( Have to improve Ielts score and claim my spouse points) so moved , gave tests and got good CRS score without any offer and applied in March . I have applied for jobs outside MTL, had interviews but some have timings issue as my contract ending July and they want person now and some have preference for PR, even my Van company contacted me last year after my move but I have already joined so can't go back like that and have attached that email too in my LOE that I have submitted with application, I have also my earlier WP, pr application refusal reason and suggestion given by VO that is to improve English score and apply. I have attached all proofs of the job application, interviews emails, showed that July end is an ideal situation for me to leave as my tenancy and contract ending . I will leave Quebec as soon as I get an offer. Right now 2.5 months have already passed since AOR and my colleague got an email yesterday after 5 months of AOR. What will you suggest as a job offer from Van looks difficult and without job moving to Van can be done but risks involved as closed work permit so cannot work anywhere so have to pay from the pocket but don't know how long will take for decision. Some are waiting for the last 7/8 months. Your input and advice will be highly appreciated.
