Hi,

I filed my application in November 2009 and received an email on 2nd Feb 2010, saying my application is not eligible for processing due to lack of information.

I have IT Project Management experience (many years) and have applied under appropriate NOC code. The mistake I made is, I did not expand on my skills and experience on "Economic Classes" application form.

Would a member please rely to my following questions,

(1) Once application is rejected, can you subsequently supply additional information for then to re-evaluate your application?

(2) Would I be better off making a fresh application and how long should I wait before sending a fresh application?

(3) Would I be better of using a Immigration Lawyer?

Thanks

How long did you wait before sending update for your original application?

I guess you communicate via your allocated File No?

What documents did you send as an update?

Thanks

Hi Balu

Did you make a fresh application or did you supply an update to an original application?

Thanks

@CanadaForMe,

i made a fresh application where i made changes like in the job duties i mentioned attached separate sheet of paper.. like that

remaining all forms are same as before.
i wrote a cover letter to the app (as most applicants do) and in that i have mentioned that my app was returned due to this and this.

hope i answered ur question.

Hi Balu,

I understand what you did but would it not be quicker to send an update to the original file?

Are you not allowed to send update to the original application using the file number given?

Thanks

CanadaForMe, if an application is rejected, they won't reopen the file. I know because I tried to send updated letters/pay slips, etc. to prove my experience in 0213 after my application was rejected. They returned back the whole thing saying once an application is refused under fast track, there is nothing you can do to reopen it. So, don't waste your time preparing an update. You can work on your application thoroughly this time, making sure you convince them of your job duties and experience and lodge a new application ASAP. Good luck!

Hi charmeuse

Thanks for your response.

When you were rejected initailly, did they allocate you a file number? Also, second time did you mention your earlier application?

Yes, I was given an AOR from Sidney and another one from CHC ND. I was rejected at the second stage after full docs were sent. I did not file a second time, just tried to add further evidence for proving my experience. For Quebec, as I said I had applied before the rejection. In the updated info sent for federal processing after the CSQ from Quebec, I did reveal the previous rejected application. It would be best to be honest with such things, they'll know anyway.
