I found this post on the other Nigerian thread. Its interesting as well as unfortunate. I pray no such befall our Canadian dreams and wish the writer all the best this time around.
"I am kemi.I applied for the federal skilled
worker last year and was sent a
confirmation mail and UCI number last year
march. We were three in my family when I
applied but there was an addition to my
family and I sent them all required
documents. Today I was sent the mail below:
I have now completed the assessment of
your application for a permanent resident
visa as a member of the federal skilled
worker class. I have determined that you do
not meet the requirements for immigration
to Canada.
Subsection 12(2) of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
states that a foreign national may be
selected as a member of the economic class
on the basis of their ability to become
economically established in Canada.
Subsection 75(1) of the regulations
prescribes the federal skilled worker class as
a class of persons who are skilled workers
and who may become permanent residents
on the basis of their ability to become
economically established in Canada.
Pursuant to the
Immigration and Refugee Protection
Regulations, 2002, skilled worker applicants
are assessed on the basis of the criteria set
out in subsection 76(1). The assessment of
these criteria determines whether a skilled
worker will be able to become economically
established in Canada. The criteria are age,
education, knowledge of Canada's official
languages, experience, arranged employment
and adaptability.
Your application was assessed based on the
occupation(s)
Maximum
in which you requested
assessment: .
The table below sets out the points
assessed:

Adaptability 4 (Why score

You have not obtained the minimum number
of points, currently 67, required for a
permanent resident visa. You were awarded
points according to the information you
have provided in your application. You have
therefore not satisfied me that you will be
able to become economically established in
Canada.
Subsection 76(3) of the regulations permits
an officer to substitute their evaluation of
the likelihood to become economically
established in Canada if the number of
points awarded is not a sufficient indicator
of whether the skilled worker may become
economically established in Canada.
Also, I reviewed your financial assets in
order to satisfy me that you have sufficient
financial resources for a family of 4 people.
Based on the information you have provided,
I am not satisfied that you meet the
minimum financial requirements for a family
of 4 people. You provided evidence to have
available funds totalling 16,644$ however,
the minimum financial required for a family
of 4 people is 20,654$ (Increase your
account balance to cover 4 people with at
least $21500).
Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that a
foreign national must, before entering
Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or for
any other document required by the
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 this Act. Subsection 2(2) specifies that
unless otherwise indicated, references in the
Act to "this Act" include regulations made
under it.
Following an examination of your
application, I am not satisfied that you meet
the requirements of the Act and the
regulations for the reasons explained above.
I am therefore refusing your application.
Thank you for the interest you have shown
in Canada.
Sincerely,
Immigration Officer
Immigration Section"
