This is what I received today which is the reply of my previous email. I asked them whether or not they have considered my updated reference letter and they sent the following email:

"This refers to your message below concerning your application for permanent residence in Canada.

Your application for permanent residence in Canada in the Federal Skilled Worker Class was considered on its substantive merits but was refused. You were provided with the decision containing the reasons for refusal of this application in our message thereby fully concluding this application. We note that the officer who made the decision did, in fact, assess the letter of reference dated February 26, 2014 in coming to the decision to refuse your application.

Should you have different or additional information, you may wish to submit a new application. You should understand, however, that a new application would require submission of new processing fees and that any such application would be assessed according to the criteria in effect at that time. As a result, no assurance of success can be offered."

Has anybody tried going to MP? If yes, is it worth it to try?
BTW: I went to my MP and apparently he is doing some more investigations. It has been two weeks and no news yet. I am not sure if he can be useful. But we must wait and see.

You may want try appealing. I am not sure how strong your ref letter is. It is better to get Dani1982 opinion.

His updated letter doesn't have the word "ASSIST" in the duties, so the officer took this as an excuse for rejection. However, I think Arm379 has a strong ground for appeal as he has mentioned the leading statement explicitly in his letter.

if you want know if they really considered your recent letter you have to request a GCMS. it shows how the officer calculated your work experience based on the letters you sent and dates.
Do you think that there is any misrepresentation ? or contradiction in dates or hours?
I suggest that you go for the Federal court .
I had a letter like yours ready and mentions two positions, one of them was not mentioned in the application, I am very worried. I feel it may cause misrepresentation.

I received new set of GCMS today. Although they had received my updated letter, they did not talk about that letter in the note section. Concerning misrepresentation or contradiction I should say my previous letter was too general. Therefore, contradiction barely could have happened as the second letter was more specific and detailed. Plus, If any misrepresentation had occurred, the officer should have mentioned that in the note section. At this point, I am seriously thinking of filing leave application and judicial review. By the way, I talked to our MP and she is planning to go through my application and make an inquiry.

That sounds good!!
Again, please request a new GCMS. It will show you if they considered your most recent letter or not. They always reply that considered it but I remember one case they did not consider it and that was clear in the GCMS that was requested after the decission was made. please do not miss a new GCMS.
I support your decission talking to the MP and the federaL COURT AS well.
