I got PPR!
Hi All,
I was a FSW inland applicant back in July 2015. I hired a lawyer to handle my case but her efforts were futile. I was employed by a biotech company in Canada as a lab tech/chemist August 2013. In Feb/march 2014, the company was acquired by another biotech company. My job DUTIES remained the same but my TITLE changed to Reagent Manufacturing Tech. I continued working under new management until September 2015. The first lawyer suggested to use two different NOC codes to explain the change , which I felt in my gut was off, but I trusted her knowledge and judgment. My application was refused by CIC that same year for mismatched duties and NOC code.
My PGWP was about to expire so I was forced to resign a job I held for two years. I was devastated. I applied for TRV whilst waiting on my EE application decision which was approved but by the time I received it I only had one month of status on it. I reapplied for a TRV to by time whilst I got a new lawyer to fix the mess that was made! That was refused.
I found a lawyer , Mr. Ronald Poulton. He's so patient, extremely thorough, very knowledgeable and kind. He suggested that I get a new employment letter , with company letter head, new letter also referred back to employment letter from my 2015 EE application that citied mismatched NOC and duties, basically apologizing and explaining everything to CIC, that is , the company acquisition, explanation of job title duties etc, signed by my former manager. Additional supporting docs T4's, record of employment etc were also uploaded.
A received my ITA (CRS 478) under CEC Outland ( had to leave Canada since status ran out) , also didn't make sense overstaying, which will affect final decision on my new application. Oh , I also gained a bachelors from a Canadian university in 2012.
I finally received my PPR after an almost 3 year nightmare. Praise Jesus! This forum was very helpful. Do your research if you decide to use a representative! Thanks Mr. Poulton.
