1. My application has not been returned. I received this message in my email.genius77 said:hi canadajimmy and Mahek,
im sorry to hear that canadajimmy abour ur returned application...
the reason why the cio returned the application because your job offer needs to be validated and approved by hrsdc before you can submit ur application as FSW2....so if u have noticed theres a question in the form if yourjob offer assessed by hrsdc and i think you will wait for a couple of months to get the approval of your job offer...
just my 2 cents..
2. I went the Labour Market Opinion (approved by HRSDC) to Temporary Work Permit route. Having a Work Permit is the equivalent to an AEO. There is no need to get a Job Offer Approved if you have a Work Permit, because it's already approved by HRSDC. The response from the person at CIO fits what you think, I believe they made the same mistake.
3. The CIC agent confirmed that a Job Offer Letter and a Work Permit is all that is required for Cat 2 (as an alternative to AEO)
Thanks. It is infuriating. I have additionally sent them a fax to the "Addresses only" fax line. I'm basically going to try every channel of communication I can, I'm not standing for this at all.indira_prab said:Hello CanadaJimmy,
Very sorry to hear that from you . I second other members' views on this as to you MUST fight and get this done!. You just cant settle down for no fault of yours. Until now we heard about machines(yes they are) who did pathetic completeness checks and returned files for very silly reasons. Looks like those resources are being used for eligibility reviews as well . So, 'no problem, you can reapply' is the answer you get for a big mistake of theirs?? This is completely ridiculous :-[ :-[
We stand with you, and good luck for your resubmission
Thanks,
Indira Prabhakaran.
