Hi everyone,
Please URGENT, help me with your brain. Do you think this is the right argument?
Just as an update about my appeal for Certificate of Qualification.
I contacted the provincial jurisdiction body in Alberta. I asked them how could I prove the CIC that the Certificate of Competency as it is called in Alberta, is the same thing as Certificate of Qualification in other provinces. The officer (Alberta) referred me to the Agreement on Internal Trades Act signed by all province in Canada.
It was mentioned in the Act, that any other licencing body in this trade -- Power Engineering has to issue the equivalent of the Albertan certificate without asking any extra examination or submitting work experience. And also we know that in BC, SK, MB, ON, and other provinces this piece of document is called Certificate of Qualification. So I think this is a strong evidence that what I submitted to Express Entry was already right, my application was complete.
Another surprise is that we are talking about one of the oldest and well-regulated trades in Canada - the jurisdiction bodies in some provinces even established since 19th century. Are you kidding me??!!! I am going to send an e-mail to Ottawa Visa Office and tell them.
