Hi,
I have just received a letter from CHC London refusing my application for immigration. I would like to share my score with you guys so you can be able to know if I have any chance to be considered:
Education : 15
Language: 12
Age: 10
Experience: 21
Adaptability: 5
------
63
I would like to appeal why they have only given me 15 on education when I have finished a 3 year diploma in hotel restaurant management. My application was filled on June 26, 2006 before they have issued the 38 occupation. Should i be scored as 20 in education since I have a 3 year diploma.
Please let me know if someone can give me an advise regarding my status.
Thank you.

I always suggest that have your education evaluation ready from American or Canadian educational service. It is because if you don't have evaluation made by American or Canadian evaluation service, then Visa Officer/Program officer always use thier Discretion especially when it is a foreign Qualification. You believed that 3 year diploma is equal to 3 years of Bachelor Degree, which makes you qualified in your eyes not is Program Officer's eye. There are lots of thing mentioned is application form and instructions that "Full time 15 years of education or Bachelor degree" will give you 22 points, which is a little bit tactical to establish 15 years of education in Visa officers' eye and get you 22 points!!
One more thing that they are working Globally, They have all the list of educational institutes/Universities/Colleges/Polytechnic and they know what can be equal to degree based qualification
as an example: If you claim that My friend had one bachelors from University of New York and Masters from George Washington University, Washington DC and he got 25 points!! and then you say that I had one Bachelors from Columbia University of New York and 2 years of Graduate Diploma from University of Pheonix through Online system and I couldn't get 25 points So that's where CIC make their own decision!!
