I have received this email from London Office....
Dear Mr. ABC,
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada as a member of the provincial nominee class.
I have reviewed your application and all of the information you have provided in support of it and it appears that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of the Act.
The provincial nominee class is an economic immigrant category. Economic immigrants are defined on Citizenship and Immigration's official website (www.cic.gc.ca) as being "selected for their skills and ability to contribute to the Canadian economy." Subsection 87 of Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) describes the provincial nominee class as "a class of persons who may become permanent residents on the basis of their ability to become economically established in Canada" and who "are named in a nomination certificate issued by the government of a province under a provincial nomination agreement between that province and the Minister; and ... intend to reside in the province that has nominated them." The definition of provincial nominees is further explained on www.cic.gc.ca as "Economic immigrants selected by a province or territory for specific skills that will contribute to the local economy to meet specific labour market needs." In order for applicants to become economically established it is therefore expected that they will be able to obtain employment in Canada. Nominations issued by provinces are considered as initial evidence that nominees have the ability to become economically established in Canada and will be of economic benefit to the province and have met the requirements of the province's Provincial Nominee Program. Canada is responsible for exercising the final selection authority and ensuring that applicants admitted under the program have met the requirements for membership in the economic class. Notwithstanding your nomination by a province or territory, I am not satisfied that the information provided with your permanent residence application indicates you have the ability to become economically established in Canada or that you otherwise meet the definition of a provincial nominee as per Subsection 87 of the IRPR.
You were nominated in the Family stream of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). We have received notification that your relative in Saskatchewan, Mr. Brother-In-Law, no longer supports your application to come to Canada. As the relative who initially assisted you to become nominated under the SINP no longer supports you, I am not satisfied that you would intend to reside in Saskatchewan or indeed that your initial nomination under the SINP would still be considered valid.
A copy of this letter is also being sent to the nominating province to advise of the possible refusal of your application and the reasons for it. The province has 90 days to raise concerns or seek clarification from the visa office regarding the assessment of your application, after which the final decision will be made. If you have further information you wish to have considered, you must submit it within the same 90-day time period.
Sincerely,
Officer
