FSW-Letter from Employer

[Zawan]

Hi every one.

I applied for immigration under Federal skilled worker class in July 2008, my medial is done 3 months ago.
Now Immigration officer is asking me to present "Reference letter from current employer", but I am unemployed and looking for field job from last year.
Further more Immigration officer also threat me to refuse my application if I fail to submit the letter. I am puzzled, as this is not the requirement for immigration in FSW class.
Can any body please steer me in the right direction, I am running out of time.

Thanks a lot.

I have never seen this type situation before. This seems blackmailing.
Are you processing your papers by yourself?
Experienced members like Bobby, Pmm, Leon, qorax, rupesh can reply here.
Very Interesting. you surely can be unemployed now, this is life, nothing is permanent.

Since you are unemployed now, you have to let CHC know that in your reply. In addition I would advise that you get another reference letter from your last employer. This you can attached to your cover letter.

There is nothing wrong in been unemployed. The criteria is that you must have worked for a minimum of one year in one of the approved 38No ministerial list.

I don't think the VO was threatening you. Maybe he was just emphasizing the need for you to respond to his query.

It appears that the immigration officer is not satisfied enough with some or all of your experince documents which you have sent first. Either because of the lack and/or doubts about the job duties or working periods, that is why he is asking you to update these documents because if he was fully satisfied at first, your application would have passed this point and there would be no effect at all whether you are still working or not once you pass the eligibility review and be granted the points.


They might only ask again for updated police clearance, proof of funds, (new medicals sometimes) after an applicant passes the eligibility review and be granted the points. They do not ask for any documents related to the work experience at this stage unless any previous mistake in that regard comes to light.

Thanks for your replies guys,
I even discussed this issue with lawyers and spent money but it ended up with no results, my last employer was a call center, can I submit letter from them?
I did do paid full time work one year back home under NOC 2132, and are legally residing in Canada since 2008.
I can post/email the letter they sent me, if you think it is necessary for the solution.

Appreciate your suggestions.

CIO stands for the centralized intake office in sydney nova scotia, based on your timeline (July 2008) and your category, your application did not go through the CIO department because it was mandatory for category 1 only until april 1 2009. Therefore, you have submitted your full application directly to Buffalo visa office and no initial assessment was made before they recieve your application by any other department.

Anyway,

Which documents exactly did you submit as a proof of your work experience and what information was included in those documents ?

could it be a mistake.Whenever you reply, make sure you do not sound rude and do not question their working.They would not question you unnecessarily or go against the immigration policies because they know if they do that there are people in the world who will sue them.

Be careful while writing anything.
