@ 3883, looks like u still have some lifeline. As the reason for NER is not showing substantial evidence of duties performed, u can reapply with 'stronger' proof that indeed u had performed the duties under 4152. If you are up to applying under this NOC you could discuss with the person giving you the reference about specific duties required, it only means the words must be chosen carefully;not copy and paste of the duties listed. If you list about 7 to 10 duties, that is substantial enough. This goes for both 4152 and 1122. My only worry is that the latter is the fastest filling NOC and cap cld be reached within a couple of weeks.
Secondly regarding IELTS, application will be incomplete without it. As British Council only sends extra copies to instituitions, can't u arrange with your workplace, school or wherever to receive it on ur behalf and then for it afterwards? These are my thoughts on this....Mandie
