Can someone help? I found on one of the threads here that online bank statements were one the reasons for rejection. What can I do about that? Though I havent received an AOR yet.
Hi! I am not sure with how others did it, but in my case, I only submitted copies of my online bank statement when I applied for NSNP. When I got the AOR and was asked for an updated bank statements, the one I gave them is still from my online banking. So I don't think it would be a reason for rejection on the provincial level. But do please take note here that it depends on the nominee officer that would handle your application. Just that in my case, I was nominated and got invited as well.

It's a different case though when it comes to CIC as they have a specific requirement for every documents you need to submit. You need to be careful and make sure you provide what they ask specifically. When I applied for PR, the one I submitted is a financial standing letter together with the bank statements I obtained directly from my bank.

Thanks very much for your reply. At least it does mean that they won't totally reject an application due to online statements but to be on the safe side, I'll obtain copy pf statements directly from the bank.

Hi everyone at the forum. I am Ambuj Laroiya from India. Following are my details :

Application Sent : 02/04/2015
Received : 07/04/2015
Pre - AOR : 23/11/2015
AOR : 26/11/2015, reply to the same sent on 26/11/2015
Queries Received from "Alana Baxter" on 01/12/2015, reverted on the same on 4/12/2015.

I have some queries for you Skywalker:

1. The Assessing Officer (AO) wanted to know why have i chosen a particular municipality as my choice of destination in Nova Scotia and what research have i done on it??

Is this a normal query or a sign of application in refusal stage?

2. Since I had applied with my previous employers for the reference letters as per required format in the NSNP Demand EE Guide, I had shared the hard copy of the same request mail in my application. But the AO seems to be confusing it with me having applied for FSWP prior to 01.01.2015, and has asked the fate of my IMM0008 Application form.

Though i have clarified the same, are there chances of rejection?

3. I have now shared the reference letters as required from my previous employers in my reply mail on 04.12.2015. The issue is, I intend to work under NOC 2132 Mechanical Engineers in NS, but I have relevant experience in the same filed from 15/10/2007 to 23/06/2011. How is the AO going to calculate my work-ex basis the same. The guide is a bit confusing and for me to have a minimum exp of 12 months, the AO should consider it from 01/04/2010 at least, for me to get the 9 points. Currently, I stand at 61 points, because i had not provided reference letters in my application initially.

What are your thoughts??

Also, pls update the SS.

Regards
Ambuj
I haven't reached that stage yet, but I will try to answer based on what I have read on this topic so far.

1. It seems normal. Looks like some kind of complement to your settlement plan.

2. If you haven't applied to the old FSW or applied with NS as your destination, there are no problems. Just be truthful and explain to the officer.

3. I am not sure if I understand what you mean. When you sent your application to NSOI, you did so without experience letters? Or have you sent experience letters for only 1 year? I am not sure if that's the answer, but if you received AOR and additional documents request, it means the officer didn't reject your application for incompleteness. But I don't know if she will consider the additional letters you have sent. You may try to explain why you haven't done so, but it will be at the officer's discretion to accept it or not. Nevertheless, this period you have mentioned only covers 3 years and 8 months, thus giving you only 2 additional points, which is not enough to qualify under the stream. Now, if you mean that your experience after 2011 was in another NOC, then you also won't qualify to the provincial stream, as your entire experience must be in the NOC you have chosen. It might be that your last years of experience were in a NOC that's also on the NS Demand list. In that case, you can try to explain it to the officer, but remains to be seem if she will accept. Remember that you will qualify exactly with the 67 minimum points only if you have 6 years or more of experience.

It's skill-by-skill.

Thanks for the revert skywalker..

I will rephrase...

I sent the experience letters for the companies I worked for in NOC 2132 from 15.10.2007 till 23.6.2011. Only the reference letters mentioning Skill Sets, No. of Hours worked, Type of reponsibilities undertaken etc were missing, as employers in India provide them only on specific request. These have now been submitted via scan mail on 04.12.2015.

My query is, since now that I have submitted the relevant reference letters from the concerned employers, wef which date the AO would consider my overall work-ex, from date of application received ie 07.04.2015 or date of AOR ie 26.11.2015? Also, the guide mentions :

"In order to meet the minimum requirements, the applicant’s skilled work experience must have occurred within
the 10 years preceding the date of their application.
 Letters of reference from all employers for the past 10 years ",

Isnt it true that this work ex should now be in last 5 years only??

Do you have ant sources who can clarify this doubt, and as per your estimates, what total experience will be marked in my application??

The AO has given me a total of 61 based following :

Education : 21
English Prof: 23
Age : 12
Adaptability : 05
Work-ex : 0

She has clearly marked in the query mail, that these points would upgrade once i provide relevant reference letters from employers. So, i think there is a scope of passing the 67 mark.

regards
Ambuj

It's during the last 10 years, not 5. But the recognition of the last later is probably at the discretion of the assigned officer.

so what do you think the points I can score for work-ex, basis my initial score is 61 as follows:

Age : 12
Education : 21
English prof : 23
Adaptability : 05
Work ex : 0, since th Ao specifically mentioned she is waiting for my ref letters, to update my points.

Now i see! I thought your 61 points were counted including 1 year of work experience. But in your case, even 1 year will be enough to score 70 points. If you get the entire 3 years from your letters, you'll end up with 73 points. And the fact that she is actually waiting for your letters already means that she's gonna accept them without problems. Provide the letters, updated settlement plan, mentioning some characteristics of the community you have chosen and the explanation that you haven't applied to the FSW 2014 (if you haven't), and I'm sure your nomination will come until next Friday. I am assuming that you have already provided an update proof of funds, of course.
