Yes, thanks for the analysis - but I regrettably cannot agree that an applicant gets PER in between assessing the 1 year work experience and assesing the selection criteria/67 points. People have been refused, without PER, for insufficient points. How could they get that refusal if visa office did the 67 point check after issuing PER?
Last time I checked
Hello again:
Well, I went over the OP6 and re-read some parts and you may be correct, read below:
Section 7.3. Applications that meet the criteria of the Ministerial Instructions issued June 26, 2010
If the application is determined to meet the criteria of the MI and to be eligible for processing, the
CIO will proceed to processing the application against the FSW minimal requirements and the
cost recovery fee is no longer refundable.
If Then the application corresponds to the Instructions,
-The CIO will proceed with processing the application against
FSW minimal requirements (Section 11).
It doesn't actually say that after meeting MI requirements, that a PER is issued then the minimal requirements are assessed... I cannot locate where I read that. OP6 is very confusing, parts of it are guidelines for pre Feb 2007, parts are for post Feb 2007 to June 26 2010 and parts are for post June 26 2010... To complicate matters more there are parts that serve as guidelines for all periods mentioned above ??? In order to get a full understanding of everything, one has to read the whole guideline in its entirety.

Edit: The main point of concern for me was not the above, it was what will take place at the VO... where an officer at the VO will go over the entire application and make a selection decision...
