However, according to OP6a (for MI-2 and 3) even tough CIO has already checked the selection creteria for the pass mark, they only make a negative decision on this. The final decision on this (hopefully a positive one) is made by the local VO.
Thanks for your opinion bro....I do agree local VO makes the final selection. Just to clarify OP6a is not meant for MI2 and 3 applicants. Its for Applications received on or after February 27, 2008 and before June 26, 2010.
For MI2 and 3 applicants, OP6b is the related OP. As per OP6b, "Applicants who were determined to meet the MI because their work experience was in an eligible NOC code should automatically meet minimal requirements pursuant to R75(2). This is because in order to be eligible under the MI they must have at least one year of continuous full-time or equivalent paid work experience in one of the listed NOC codes and this wording is
very similar to R75(2). Since the CIO makes a final MI eligibility determination, a visa officer may only refuse an eligible NOC code application on minimal requirements if procedural fairness is followed. Please see OB 338 for more details".
