Dear Applicant,
This refers to your application for permanent residence. Please be sure that you read this letter carefully and provide precisely what is being requested; if you provide incorrect or incomplete information, it may result in your application being delayed or refused.
Your application may be processed more quickly, outside the regular queue for skilled worker applications, if you can show that you meet the requirements of Regulation 82(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Regulations of 2002. You need to provide the following (ticked) information to assist with our assessment:
1. A current job offer letter from the prospective employer in Canada, explaining in detail: exactly what is the job on offer (position, duties, salary, place in company, etc.)
2. Documentation from the prospective employer to demonstrate that their business operations are ongoing and will be able to provide you with sustained employment if you obtain an immigrant visa. Such documentation could include: photographs of their business premises, business license/registration, payroll, recent tax statements, trading accounts, company history, etc. The employer may already have provided similar information to Service Canada, but it is required now in the context of evaluating the genuineness of the job offer as part of your visa application. The employer should include details of any other foreign nationals they have hired after having obtained a job confirmation from Service Canada. The employer may send this information directly to our office.
3. A full and detailed explanation from the prospective employer of the process by which the vacancy came about in the employers company, why an employee is being sought from outside Canada, and how you were found to qualify for and subsequently offered the job.
4. A letter from you, explaining in detail the process by which you obtained the job offer from Canada.
5. A reference from your current employer, explaining your job duties
6. Your own description of your qualifying experience. Please write your own detailed explanation, including examples of how you accomplished each task as stated in your job description.
7. A full and detailed explanation from you of how your qualifications and experience are relevant to the job being offered, and how you will be able to perform in Canada.
You should send this information within 60 days of the date of this letter. If you can demonstrate that you meet the requirements of R82, you will be awarded an additional 10 points under arranged employment, plus 5 points for adaptability on the selection grid under IRPA, and processing of your application will be prioritized.
Please return a copy of this letter with your documentation.
Sincerely,
High Commission of Canada
