August 2012 Application Refusal - CIC mistake

[bickyii]

yes but I was qualified under old rules as well.

It will be frustrating if I have to reapply and go through the same process again.

Although she is eligible with new rules, but its not fair with her..
She paid fee for two years, became eligible, applied and they just Rejected it because of their Mistake..
there must be some sort of appealing which you can do if there is VO`s mistake.
And yes at this point you need GCMS for sure,..

Can i ask you for your VO number?

I had same problem he counted my off-campus work experience.
I had 13 months of experience with duties and correct NOC (0631)
And 8 months of off-campus experience with duties and wrong NOC 0631 (instead of 6311 - B)

On schedule 008 i have both position as both are skill.
He counted my total 21 months of experience with noc 0631 and i got rejection.
VO supposed to count only PGWP experience

you are right, it is unfair if we take the facts as have been stated by the PA. It would be good to see the detailed GCMS notes to get more insight into the refusal.

Quoting from OP25A (pre 2013 regs):-

Under this stream the applicant must have:
 completed a required program of study in Canada and obtained a Canadian educational credential (e.g., degree, diploma, or certificate);
 been enrolled full-time in this program of study or training for two years (see sections 6.3 and 9.11 for more details);
 acquired, in Canada, at least 12 months of full-time work experience, or the equivalent in part-time work experience in a NOC type 0, or level A or B occupation, within the 24 months before the date the application is made. (see Section 9.11 for more details).

So it looks like you don't qualify for the post grad scheme and that's why you were assessed on 24 months of work experience. Are you using a lawyer or a consultant? They should have known this!!

I did 2 years program but even if it was a one year program there is an exception for the post-graduate stream:

based on the OP 25 – Canadian Experience Class Guidelines that outline: “Applicants whose length of study in Canada is less than two academic years may be eligible if their credentials are for a graduate program (at least eight months) and a previous qualifying post-secondary educational credential (at least eight months), within the two years preceding the completion of the graduate program”.

Under the OP 25 statement you posted there is another part that includes exceptions (see above).

My lawyer sent an email with reconsideration letter to CIC.
She also attached the letter of employment from the XYZ company that I didn't include to my original application as I only needed 12 months of work experience and I had 18 months with my current Employer at the moment I applied. With the work experience at XYZ the total number of work experience i had at the time I filled my application will be exactly 24 months which makes me qualified under the other stream as well (24 months of full time work experience). So I'm qualified under both streams of the CEC.

JC00122 - that's the only number I found in the email.
