I need some advice.. help.( CEC Refuse)

[hejin34]

brief timeline
-they received my application may 2011
-medical test done.
- decision made status change in Feb 2012
- sept 9 2012, received a letter from government.

just got a letter saying that they are not satisfied with my IELTS mark.
I applied as a cook, skill level B, I had a document saying that the mark should be over 4.5
and mine was exactly 4.5.

however, the letter stated I need at least 20 (mine 17) in total..

I am very overwhelmed..haha I don't even know what I'm saying

does anyone know when the requirement for language test was changed?
I was thinking maybe the official misunderstood Or I might had the old documents...

finally I received the letter in 15 months which was saying they are not satisfied..

If I do the test again and get that mark, do I have to go through the whole process again?
or can I just send the proof that I have satisfied mark...

In desperate need of help and advice.. Thank you

Can you share your IELTS score for each ability?

Can you share your IELTS score for each ability?

listening 5.0 reading 3.5 writing 4.5 speaking 4.0 overall band score 4.5

 

[SenoritaBella]

listening 5.0 = CLB 5
reading 3.5 = CLB 4
writing 4.5 = CLB 4
speaking 4.0 = CLB 4

•If you have qualifying Canadian work experience at Skill Level B of NOC, your test results must match the CLB/NCLC below(see chart):
◦5 or higher for each of those abilities, or
◦4 for any one of those abilities, 5 or higher for any other two of those abilities and 6 or higher for the remaining ability.

Your score is CLB 5, 4, 4, 4 and does not meet language requirements for skill level B. You needed at least CLB 5, 5, 5, 5 or CLB 4, 5, 5, 6 to qualify. This means you have to retake the test and submit a whole new application from scratch.

You can find the language requirement and CLB table here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5609ETOC.asp

yes, however, I thought cook/chef is different case..

 

[SenoritaBella]

Different case, how? It's skill level B, you have to meet minimum language requirements.

ohh, okay.. Thanks
and one more question if you can please answer this..

I think cic made changes, the website included the last sentence [•If you have qualifying Canadian work experience at Skill Level B of NOC, your test results must match the CLB/NCLC below(see chart):

does that still apply to my case even though I applied before?

I have a print of that page before the change and it doesn't state anything about 5 or higher..

Hi Hejin,

Even if your score is enough right now, you still need to re-apply because they already refused your case. They usually ignore emails/letters to ask them to re-open the case.

If I were you, I would re-take the test to get a higher score to make your case more safe. You don't want to give CIC any excuses to reject your case again. I know it is disappointing/frustrating but if the only problem is your ielts score, its actually not that big of a problem because you can always re-take the test and reapply with same documents that you sent to CIC before.
