I have applied for Permanent Residence to Canada as Federal Skilled Worker Class to The Canadian Embassy, Manila, Philippines in 2006. After that I have submitted all necessary papers. Finally I received medical papers on July 3, 2012 and sent medical report on august 2, 2012. On October 2, 2012 I received an acceptance letter from embassy in manila requesting for my passport. I sent the passport last on October 10, 2012. Today (on march 15, 2013) I received my passport without visa. After receiving the refusal I am totally disappointed. In this situation what can I do next? Why did they continue this process after March 28, 2012?
The reason for refusal is that
The Jobs, growth and Long-term Prosperity Act became law on June 29, 2012. Under this legislation, federal Skilled worker(FSW) applications made before February 27, 2008 were terminated by operation of law if a decision based on FSW program selection criteria had not been made by an immigration officer before March 29, 2012.
In conducting a factual review of affected applications, we were noted that the selection decision on your file was made after March 28, 2012. Your application was affected by the Jobs, growth and Long-term Prosperity Act and was terminated by operation of Law on June 29, 2012. As such, your permanent resident visa application was terminated by operation law as a decision had not been made by an immigration officer before March 29, 2012.
