consul giving another chance, gurus plz help

[Tajik]

Applied in 2010 before June 26th and file got sent to the consulate, got my AORs, sent all the docs. Yesterday got a letter from consulate saying that I do not have enough points and that consul is giving me another chance to submit more proof to defend my case He cut points for my English language proficiency. I did not send in an IELTS score because I thought two masters from US universities would suffice. And back then score was not required. Also he cut my points for adaptability basically giving me 0 despite the fact that for last 12 years I have lived in US

My question is what is the best course of action in my case? I have 60 days to provide additional info. Please help!!!!

I guess you are one of those lucky ones.Never heard of anything like this but if it is true then give your IELTS test and prove your work experience.Since you have this oppurtunity make the very best of it.Best part is you know where your points are lacking.All the best

The problem is I live in a country where there is no IELTS testing centers ( I moved out of US). The closest country has test dates but the results will be released after the 60 days period. I have taken TOEFL, GMAT and all kind of tests. It is not a problem, just the time is problem

You are really lucky that you got an opportunity to resubmit documents or certificates.
Give IELTS general category immediately.
You won't get points for stay in US as you are applying for Canadian immigration and not US.

Book the test centre, give them time the proof that you have booked the test and ask for more time..

Quickly schedule to take the IELTS general exam and you'll get points for that depending on the scores. You will get zero points for adaptability for living in the US, not even sure why you'd think you would get points for that.

How do you submit the docs? Do you upload them or mail them? Thanks every1

Hi Tajik,

You are sending documents by post, exceptions are when they require copies.

I lived, studied and worked in Ireland but they still required official proof of my language skills, so I took an IELTS exam and submitted certificate to them.

I suggest to send a quick email to your Canadian Embassy and check if TOEFL will be ok too (I am sure there will be official information on that too on cic.ca). Thats is highly possible that they will extend the period to submit some new documents if they know you have your language exam booked.

I believe the fact that you lived in US for long time helped you to get this "second" chance

Hope that helps!

You can mail them and also do enclose receipt of payment made for the test.They will definitely give you time since the delay is not intentional and obviously out of your control.Experience from US will also be considered as long as ur job description meets the criteria.

Tnx every1

Please point to me the part in the points matrix that awards points in adaptability for staying in the US? How did you think you could get points in this category?

Although to be fair, if at the time you applied IELTS test results were not required, I can't see how they can insist on them now. Applications are supposed to be assessed under the rules as of the date CIC received the application.

Regarding this you can either not risk it and get the IELTS results fast (probably the wisest course of action if you're able to do it), or if you can't get the results in time, write to the visa office and point out that these are not required because, at the time your application was received, evidence of degrees from English-speaking Universities was adequate proof of language.

Given that it's sometimes difficult to even book an IELTS test within 60 days, coupled with the fact that such results are NOT required if you applied prior to the rule coming in, I think in this instance the visa office is being unreasonable asking for you to get them.


The only thing I can think of is that they are giving you a chance to IMPROVE on your current score, since you are not awarded the expected points in adaptability.

Basically just do as much as you can during the timeframe they haven given, you can do no more.
