FSW 2014 Reject reasons

[sglife888]

Dear Bro&Sis,

I received one email from SGVO saying that my employment references are not genuine and I have 30 days to submit additional documents.

For my application, I only submitted the reference letters with Name Cards. Is it the root cause? Now, I'm trying to get the HR certification from my previous and current companies.

Can anyone share what I should do? Million Thanks!


Email from SGVO:

did you submit copy of payslips, income tax rteturn, salary adjustment notice, work contracts?

Dear kimchilover,

I only submitted the reference letters with Name cards, which could be the root cause.

Now, I'm trying to get the certification from HR. Besides, you are suggesting me to submit the copy of payslips, income tas return, salary adjustment notice and work contracts? Thanks a lot!

guys I need advice,

just got my app returned.. NOC 2281 -- 5th Sept
I tried to attach a copy of the Cic letter . but am unable to...
it basically says that I haven't provided sufficient evidence of one years work experience...

I had 1 yr 4 mths expereince in a back office, 2 yes 11 mths experience in banking, 2 yrs 8 months experience in IT previously
and am currently freelancing
I showed with copies of letters from my organizations for the previous jobs, but since the orgzn didn't provide me with a list of duties done, I took a letter from the ex- MD of the company and sent that along...
along with copies of payslips, appointment letters, relieving letters, etc

I can't figure out what else they wanted...what else can I send?

Should I resend my application or will it be too late now??

Or should I try sending under another NOC?

There is no need to notarize the letter when you first submit the document to CIC, for the category of FSW -- if the visa officer is satisfied with the content of your photocopy of the letter, they will likely ask you to send the original copy. If they are not satisfied they will just reject your application. Sending the original at the first stage, when they only asked for your photocopies, is unlikely to convince them that you have a better application (I know because I sent originals before).

I encourage you to send employment contract, appraisals, pay slips etc. If your work letter basically paraphrase the content of your NOC job, it is even better. Make sure that you have to make the letter and the NOC descriptions look different yet paraphrase it.

Hi Special Mary,

My NOC (2113) is described on the HRDSC side very broadly. There are 13 duties listed - each of them being a distinct job profile in itself. The NOC duties range from academic to industrial to environmental Geoscientists!

I'm not clear what 'substantially match' means really. I have seen some people say it should be an 80% match.

80% of your duties should match NOC or 80% of NOC should match your duties?

In the document required PDF on CIC website, they ask for your 'main duties'. How many 'main duties' would suffice really?

My letter states the below. Could you please have a look at advice if it would be acceptable under 2113

assigned to work on well sites world-wide as an Exploration Geologist, which consists in executing drilling programs aimed at creating substructure profiles to detect and determine oil and natural gas deposits. Below is a summarisation of his duties.

• Review and correlate subsurface information from local geological studies and offset wells to identify
formation tops, target zones and total depths.
• Plan and conduct on-site laboratory petrographic analyses and description of rock samples.
• Observe real-time parameters and analyse electrical, porosity and lithology logs for formation evaluation.
• Provide technical oversight, quality control and operational recommendations for drilling optimisation and
hazard control.
• Generate daily and post-well geological reports, coordinate transmittal and dispatch of all data and samples
to the client, and share learning and insights to aide field development campaigns.
• Ensure compliance with health, safety and environmental procedures and protocols.

i think it matches 2281, the only possible reason i can fathom for rejection is letter from the ex- MD might as opposed to on a letter head might have been the issue. Seniors, any input?

Good day guys

I am an October applicant, my application was received by Nova Scotia on the 6th of October. I also have a certain lawyer representing me in Canada. i submitted all request documents at the time of application except for detailed letter of reference from my employer. My employer will not issue a letter to the CIO , not even to support immigration purpose. This i gather is an extant policy of the organisation and they also do not want to keep losing staff.
.
I had to do a letter explaining why my employer will not issue such letter and i also attached the email from my employer stating this. I also attached my letter of appointment,payslips, my promotion letters and a regular letter introducing me to the embassy in Nigeria (Lagos) with my salary and my level. All other documents are in fantastic order and my lawyer keep telling me that my letter of explanation on the non availability of the detailed employers letter will be reviewed at the discretion of Nova Scotia. My question are

1. what are my chances as i have been worried ?
2. How do i know if Nova Scotia waive the reference letter from my employer

hi, reference letter with job duties that match your noc is mandatory- if your employer is not giving that , then you can get it from your senior staff of your higher supervisor.

 

[ola.salamis]

@vinisha09 The organisation is a control freak one and my supervisor is actually the custodian of the organisations policy . My only saving grace is that my payslips shows my main job description which matches under the NOC i am applying for. I also attached the email from my employer stating they don't give such letters.
.
i can only hope and pray

My organization follows a strict policy of not giving any one the list with the list of roles... They only gave me a letter with the job role and title.. Which is why I asked the ex- mD to give me a letter stating my roles and responsibilities... is there anything else I can do... I seem to be running out of time...
