The process listed above is slightly incorrect in that they actually count the 67 points before issuing PER. We know this because people have had their application refused, with no AOR/PER, due to insufficient ponts.ira.s said:Hi Indira,
I am wondering about the process that you described.
Initially, I thought the same like what you described in step 4. that they check if the application forms are all complete, payments are OK, all required documentation are enclosed and that they check if we have a valid 1 year experience in the claimed NOC(a part of the 29 occupations list).
And then under point 5. If yes, they give an AOR and put the file into processing , If not they send the application back stating the reason for return.
I am a bit worried about my work experience so I was very relieved when I saw that they've charged me the processing fee. I thought that that means that I passed eligibility review and that my case has been put in processing.
But then I saw in the spread sheet that some people were rejected for insufficient work experience after the fee has been charged!
Does that mean that they review minimal eligibility more then once and can make two different decisions?
I would love to hear your input! If anyone else have info please share
Thanks everyone!

Regrettably charging the processing fee only means that your application passed the completeness check (i.e. all forms, documents and payment are in order). It does not mean you passed your eligibility review yet. The part where they assess your work experience under the ministerial instructions, and add up your 67 points, is done after the fee payment is taken.
Nothing much to do but sit and wait for the email - it will either be a positive or negative eligibility review, best of luck for a positive one!
