Dear Experts
I am very upset as today my express entry PR application has been refused with following reason. I am posting it here as it might help someone and also someone might help me to advise some next steps.
Based on the documentation submitted with your application for permanent residence, I am not satisfied that you possess arranged employment with <employer name>. Letter of Employment that you submitted did not state that you have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa. Refer to: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/expressentry/documents/offer-employment.html
My whole application got refused because in the employment letter my employer did not mention that he will employ me at least for one year after my PR. The officer could have requested the updated employment letter as my employer is willing to provide any such info that is required.
I am very disappointed and not sure what to do now. Please advise what options do I have now; for example
I would appreciate any advise here please.
Thanks
Complete refusal letter:
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited you to apply for permanent resident status
based on the qualifications you claimed in your Express Entry profile. I am not satisfied that you meet
the requirement of A11.2 because in your Express Entry profile you indicated that you possess arranged
employment with:
<Job Title: Employer Name>
Based on the documentation submitted with your application for permanent residence, I am not satisfied
that you possess arranged employment with Speridian Technologies Canada Inc. Letter of Employment
that you submitted did not state that you have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year
after we issue your permanent resident visa. Refer to:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/expressentry/documents/offer-employment.html
To confirm an applicant’s qualifying offer of arranged employment, to validate that the applicant meets
program requirements and to screen for concerns of fraud
Document requirements
•This document is required only if the applicant claims to have a qualifying offer of arranged
employment.
•A letter from the employer(s) offering the job in Canada is required, and it must ◦be printed on company
letterhead and include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information (address, telephone
number and email address), and the name, title and signature of the applicant’s proposed immediate
supervisor or personnel officer; and
◦include the following details: expected start date, commitment that the applicant will be employed on a
continuous, paid, full-time work, for work that is for at least one year after issuance of a permanent
resident visa, job title, duties and responsibilities, current job status (if current job), number of work hours
per week and annual salary plus benefits.
•If the there is an associated Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to the offer of employment, the
LMIA number is requested as part of the application. ◦A scanned copy of the LMIA is not required when
submitting the e-APR but may be requested by IRCC at a later date.
This change in your qualifications resulted in a loss of 50 points that brought your rank from 497 to 447
below the lowest ranking person who was invited to apply in the your draw, under the Express Entry
Comprehensive Ranking System. The lowest point score in the round of invitation that the PA was invited
in was: 465
As I have found that you no longer possess the qualification on the basis of which you were ranked under
an instruction given under paragraph 10.3(1)(h), you no longer meet the requirements of Section 11.2 of
Act.
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.
You will receive a refund of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee that you have paid.
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.
You must remove your Job Seeker profile from the Job Bank website as you are no longer an Express
Entry candidate. You must also remove any references that you are a candidate for Express Entry from
any private job board websites, if you used any.
If you still want to come to Canada as a skilled immigrant, you may take steps to improve your
competitiveness and register for Express Entry at a later date. For example, you may try to improve your
language score or gain a higher level of education. However, you must meet the minimum requirements
to enter the Express Entry pool and there is no guarantee that you will be issued another invitation to
apply for permanent residence under one of the immigration programs subject to Express Entry.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Yours sincerely,

- Sending the updated employment letter by some means
- Going to court
- Reapplying -- will it take same 6 months for new application again?
I would appreciate any advise here please.
