Hi All,
I applied for canadian experince class in Feb-2014, and got my file no. in March 2014.
After waiting for so long finally yesterday I got the email from CIC saying my application rejected because the VO is not satisfied with my job duties which resemblance the NOC code I used.
I used NOC CODE 2242 Electronic service technicians (household and business equipment), because I am working as a Fire alarm technician. Which belongs to NOC 2242 group.
VO is saying that work I am doing is not for NOC 2242, which is i think not good to be true.
Below is the letter I got form CIC VO,.

Dear (Name):
I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of
the Canadian Experience Class and have determined that you do not meet the requirements for
immigration to Canada.
According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, applicants in the Canadian Experience
Class are assessed on the basis of the pass/fail requirements set out in subsection R87.1(2). The
assessment of these criteria determines whether a worker with Canadian experience will be able to
become economically established in Canada. The criteria are:
temporary resident status during the period of work experience in Canada and any period of full
time study or training,
meeting the minimum language proficiency threshold in either English or French, and
qualifying Canadian skilled work experience.
Your application was assessed based on the occupation which you identified as part of your skilled work
experience in Canada: NOC 2242 – Electronic Services Technicians (household and business equipment)
I have reviewed your application in its entirety and the additional employment reference letter you
provided in response to my letter and I am not satisfied that you meet the skilled work experience
requirements because:
I note that you declared work experience as an Electronic Service Technician with XYZ
from 18Feb2013 to27Feb2014.
I note that you provided a letter of employment dated 27Feb2014 signed by Operations Manager
– . This letter of employment provides a list of job duties performed which
include installing and repairing fire alarm systems, conducting monthly and annual inspections,
inspect and test fire alarm components, troubleshoot, diagnose and locate circuits and faulty
components and keep track of maintenance records in log book.
I note that the lead statement for NOC 1215 states that ‘Electronic service technicians service and
repair household and business electronic equipment such as audio and video systems, computers
and peripherals, office equipment and other consumer electronic equipment and assemblies. They
are employed by electronic service and retail establishments, by wholesale distributors and within
service departments of electronic manufacturing companies.’
I am not satisfied that you have been performing the actions of the lead statement and a
substantial number of the main duties as set out for the national occupational code 2242 because
you are not repairing and servicing household and business electronic equipment. I am however
satisfied that you have been performing work under the NOC 7445 – Other repairers and
servicers.
As such, I am not satisfied that you have acquired one year of full-time skilled work experience in a skill
level 0, A or B of the National Occupation Classification matrix and therefore, do not meet the
requirements for the Canadian Experience Class program as set out in R87.1. Therefore, I am refusing
your application.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer
for a visa or for any other document required by the Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if,
following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets
the requirements of this Act. Subsection 2(1) specifies that unless otherwise indicated, references in the
Act to “this Act” include regulations made under it.
Following an examination of your application, I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Act
and Regulations for the reasons explained above. I am therefore refusing your application.
The decision communicated in this letter constitutes the definitive and final decision on your present
application. Your application will be retained, under current Government of Canada file retention
guidelines, for a period of two years. Your application forms and supporting documents will not be
returned to you. If you should submit a new application it would require new fees and documentation and
would need to meet all the requirements in effect at the time the application is submitted.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Yours sincerely,
Case Officer –
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
How can it be not skilled ?? Because the job title is even on their website under NOC 2242.
Should I write email to programe manager to re-open or re-consider my application, as I believe VO who had my file for assessment did not clearly understand the job title.
Or should I consider re-epplying under express entry?? Also my work permit is expiring in JULY-2015. So i need to do something as soon as possible.
Any suggestion/Idea/Guidance will be really appreciaited.
Is there anybody outther who was in the same boat as me, and now has PR. If yes, please give me some guidance.
