OAA:

I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a skilled worker. I have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

Subsection 12(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of the economic class on the basis of their ability to become economically established in Canada. Subsection 75(1) of the regulations prescribes the Federal Skilled Worker class as a class of persons who are skilled workers and who may become permanent residents on the basis of their ability to become economically established in Canada.


Pursuant to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, 2002, skilled worker applicants are assessed on the basis of the requirements set out in subsection 75(2) and the criteria set out in subsection 76(1). The assessment of these requirements determines whether a skilled worker will be able to become economically established in Canada. The criteria are age, education, knowledge of Canada’s official languages, experience, arranged employment and adaptability.

Your application was assessed based on the occupation(s) in which you requested assessment. The table below sets out the points assessed for each of the selection criteria:

Points assessed Maximum
Age
6 12
Education
21 25
Official language proficiency
19 28
Arranged employment
0 10
Experience
15 15
Adaptability
5 10
TOTAL
66 100

You have obtained insufficient points to qualify for immigration to Canada, the minimum requirement being 67 points.

You were assigned 6 points for your age in accordance with R81 of IRPA.

You were assigned 21 points for your education credential at the bachelor degree level based on the Canadian educational credential or equivalency assessment submitted in support of your application in accordance with R75(8) and R78(1).

You were assigned 19 points for your English language proficiency and 0 for your French language proficiency. Points have been assigned in accordance with R79(1) of IRPA.

No points were assigned for arranged employment in accordance with R82(2) of IRPA.

You were assigned the maximum 15 points for your 7 years of full-time work experience, or the equivalent in part-time work, within the 10 years prior to the date your application was made, in accordance with R 80 of IRPA.

You were assigned 5 adaptability points for your spouse or common-law partners’ language proficiency, in accordance with R83 of IRPA.

No points were assigned for being related to a person living in Canada. Adaptability points are assigned if the principal applicant or accompanying spouse or common-law partner has a relative who is 18 years of age or older as of the date of application and who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident residing in Canada. Documentation must show proof of relationship to a relative in Canada, proof of status in Canada of a relative and proof of residency in Canada of your relative. As you did not provide documentation to satisfy me of proof of residency in Canada of your relative, I have assigned no points, in accordance with R83 of IRPA.

No points were assigned for a two year period of study in Canada by you or your spouse, for one year of work in Canada by you at the O, A or B level or one year of work in Canada by your spouse or common-law partner, or for arranged employment in accordance with R83 of IRPA.

You have not obtained sufficient points to satisfy me that you will be able to become economically established in Canada.
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 any other document may 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(2) 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 the regulations for the reasons explained above. I am therefore refusing your application.

Note: Any different or new information that you submit cannot be taken into consideration.

Should you have different or additional information, you may wish to submit a new application. For up-to-date information on how to apply under the Federal Skilled Workers Class, please visit the website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp

There are many ways to immigrate to Canada. To learn more about your options, visit http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp.

NOTE: Your application and supporting documentation are part of your permanent record and must remain on file. Original documents, submitted in support of your application, are also part of the permanent record and will not be returned. Once your application has been placed in process, no refund of the processing fees will be issued.

Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.

Dear friends,

I have received my request for PCC, medical and RPRF. However, I recently realized that I have mistakenly mentioned "NO" to 6D "Schedule A", whereas I was refused a US visa 2 years ago. I totally mentioned "NO" inadvertently/by mistake as I missed that 6D mentions other countries as well.

Is there a way out to the situation now? I feel like writing an email to LVO, apologize on mistake and request them to allow me to send new Schedule A along with PCCs and RPRF. Will that be successful?

Please advise and also please share if anyone has experienced similar situation and come out of it successfully and what did they do?

Anxiously waiting for your kind responses.

Thanks,
Sully

Guys , Need an opinion.

Which would be good idea ?
I have applied as 2132 & waiting to hear from CIC. I got 1 set of Original IELTS&WES report so Thinking about options.

1. sending an 2nd application for another NOC (2232) before Dec for FSW2014 ? ( This will double my chances for FSW2014 )
2. Applying under EE -2015 in January & wait to see if I am able to make in the 1st draw which is planned in January end per CIC? MY EE score is 359. ( I am thinking to get advantage of early bird if at all anything exists since 2nd draw may be by the year end & by that time many applicants will be ready with higher score)

Your 2132 APPLICATION WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
If in doubt,go ahead with the submission of 2232(Plan B).
You can still go ahead with your plan C of the EE is a wise decision.
Once 2132 is successful,you can drop Plan B & C.
Good luck

I believe you have still 3-4 months before hearing from them, just have patience and faith.

Will they mail me or something that your file has been reached? Under processing, In progress??

 

[captainsully]

I was denied Student Visa for USA. But it does not ask for Student Visa rejection...only asking for Vit/Temporary/residential visa etc.....
Please advise do I have to communicate the same to NDVO

Can you please provide an update on your situation. I have recently realized that I have done the same mistake and feeling very stressed. Please let me know what steps you have taken and were they successful?

You can do that.

If you get PER for your first case, you can block your card so that CIC will not deduct money for your 2nd app.

But make sure, you add all the documents, full proofs etc along with your application, so that it will not be rejected or returned.

Getting 2 applications rejected due to incompleteness is pretty embarrassing ...you know... 8) ;D

 

[MrBank]

I would say, keep ur originals and apply for EE, I intened to do same if I dont hear from CIC by January about my current application.

[mackester]

Please can you answer my question. I am 4 Sept applicant and I am very worried now.
NOC is 0113 and waiting till now for my CC to be charged. I check my email and my mobile so often. I am not sure to do now. I see that CC applicant reached 24 Sept. Am I out of the race?

 

[captainsully]

Student Visa means Temporary resident. Kindly send the updated form with a cover letter by courier to you local VO ASAP!!

Hi CanadaFSW2015,

Can you please provide an update of your situation? was it successful? I have done the same mistake and need advice...please suggest.

Regards, Sully.

 

[Destinationca]

Thank You Friend for your response, and for hope. I don't have any stamps on my new passport. Plus I have two children born in USA, and they have USA Passports, all clear.

Thank You and all best to you !

@hopelessGregory - It is a tricky proposition to say on the face of it, but you you might be okay and the reason I say that is - Firstly, CIC has claearly listed on their website that the person needs to be legally admitted to that country for 1 yr (which in your case looks like you did)); and secondly, I am assuming that you have selected Ottawa as your VO; so in an event they are not convinced with your application being processed at Ottawa, they will transfer it to your Country of Origin.

On a side note, don't you qualify in the recently approved Immigration reform to get your status reinstated in US?

 

[Djolev]

Please can you answer my question. I am 4 Sept applicant and I am very worried now.

Hello friend, you should call CIO and check what is going on.
Maybe someone of more experienced members could share phone number with you.
I hope you are still in the game.

 

[jcanwecan]

I have a question,
If the application fails the initial review are you emailed or you have to wait until the package returns via snail mail?
