Hi Mates,
Unfortunately for me. My application was rejected. I submitted March 2nd. To think I had to wait for 3 months to hear the bad news.
I got the below mail from the Intake office. something to do with the way I mentioned my duties under 0213. I just typed my main duties as an IS Manager - Change Management, Project Management, Stakeholder Management.
I guess they were not impressed as you will notice from the mail.
The help I need from you are as follows;
1. Is there a particular way they want the main duties spelled out?
2. Are there other areas where people get rejected that I need ot be wary of
3. With this rejection, can I be allowed to reapply with corrections to that area or I can never be considered for that category anymore?
4. When I am reapplying, should I apply as a fresh applicant or should I reference the my initial rejected application.
Below is excerpts from the rejection letter please help with my questions.
Regards,
21 May 2010

Dear Sir:
We have received your application for permanent residence in Canada in the Federal Skilled Worker Class on 02 March 2010.
XXXXXXXXX
You have not indicated in your application that you have an Arranged Employment Offer or that you are legally residing in Canada for at least one year as a Temporary Foreign Worker or an International Student. Your application has therefore been assessed on the basis of whether you have work experience in the list of occupations eligible for processing. These occupations are identified by codes and described in the National Occupational Classification (NOC). You may access the list of eligible occupations at:x
You have indicated that you have work experience in occupations with the following NOC code: 0213- Service Delivery Manager, Project Manager, Support Analyst, Head Networks. Although this NOC code corresponds to the occupations specified in the instructions identified by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and published in the Canada Gazette on 28 November 2008, the main duties that you have listed do not indicate that you performed a substantial number of the main duties of the occupations as set out in the occupational description of the NOC, including all of the essential duties. As such, I am not satisfied that your experience corresponds to NOC 0213- Computer and Information Systems Managers.
For the reasons outlined above, your application does not meet the requirements of the Ministerial Instructions and your application is not eligible for processing.
The fees that you have paid are refundable. You will receive a cheque within eight to twelve weeks at the address provided in your application. If you have changed your address please advise us immediately of the new address. Address changes should be faxed to (902) 270-3561.
Please note: The Fax number listed above is solely for the purpose of providing an updated address. Any communication/queries other than an updated address to this Fax number will not be actioned.
X This correspondence also acknowledges receipt of your Fee Payment Form (Imm5620) authorizing CIC to take payment of processing fees using the credit card details provided. Since your application is not eligible for processing, the credit card was NOT charged and no charges will appear on your credit card statement.
There are many ways to immigrate to Canada. Although you have not satisfied the requirements to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Class, you may qualify under another category. To learn more about your options, visit: x
