Dear Qorax, Pmm & Seniors!

Letter received from VO stated:
''You have indicated that you have work experience in (an) occupation (s) with the following NOC code(s): 1111 : Financial Auditors and Accountants.
Although the NOC code(s) correspond(s) to the occupations specified in the Instructions, the main duties that you listed do not indicate that you performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation, as set out in the occupational descriptions of the NOC, or that you performed all of the essential duties and a substantial number of the main duties, as set out in the occupational descriptions of the NOC. I am therefore not satisfied that you are a Financial Auditor and Accountant: NOC code(s): 1111.
Since you did not provide satisfactory evidence that you have work experience in any of the listed occupations, you do not meet the requirements of the Ministerial Instructions and your application is not eligible for processing. "
