Hi
I do not find anything shocking in this news as CIC has their own criteria to assess your documents and file thoroughly , CIC is not obliged to give you PR if you have nomination from any province.
Additionally it is clearly mentioned in NSNP guide that nomination does not guarantee that you will receive Permanent resident status and also you will see the same in nomination certificate.
And it make sense too.
Reasons:
1- Sometimes PNP has their own criteria to nominate people such as their point system and other requirements of documents, if you go in past when NSOI started this program they have different points system for your work experience but after that they updated and make it exactly same as Federal point grid system.
If you go further past you will see NSOI dint ask even for IELTS and also ECA but after that they update their criteria and make it same as Federal.
I do not know what is the Criteria of SINP for nomination but if it is not same as Federal requirement for sure CIC will refuse BUT IT RARELY HAPPENS CAUSE NOW A DAYS MOST OF PNP PROGRAM ARE THROUGH EXPRESS ENTRY SO EVERY ONE WHO HAS EE PROFILE MEANS THEY FULFILL FEDERAL CRITERIA.
2- AS FAR AS I KNOW SINP is online program BUT NSNP was paper based in the beginning and most of the applicants submit many documents to justify their situation specially for work experience, and its easy to read everything in detail for nomination officer and they can do as much research as much they want to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria and thats why they keep on asking additional documents till they dont get satisfied. BUT Express Entry system is not designed for CIC officer to have to go looking more information it is designed to be quick and thorough. If you do not provide the required information, clearing and in the manner CIC requests, you may be refused without opportunity to provide more information.
That is the reason when you get nomination email, nomination officer suggest you to submit all communication email and documents with your PR application so that CIC officer got to know everything quickly. And even if he dint suggest you its your duty to submit everything with your PR application as CIC officer may have same doubt which nominee officer had when he assessed your file.
3- If applicant does not submit proper documents in Express Entry, CIC will refuse immediately does not matter he has nomination. KEEP IN MIND IF DOCUMENTS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY CIC IS NOT GONNA ASK YOU ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS THEY REFUSE MENTIONING THE REASON.
That is why you can not blame any officer neither CIC officer nor Nominee Officer. Nominee officer has enough time to go through with all documents and ask additional documents to check your eligibility But CIC officer is stick to the requirement if your documents are as per requirement your file is OK , if he finds something is not as per requirement or as per they want to see you will get refused immediately.
DO NOT RELATE ASSESSMENT OF NOMINEE OFFICER WITH THE ASSESSMENT OF CIC OFFICER. CIC OFFICER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW NOMINEE OFFICER ASSESS YOUR FILE.
IF NOMINEE OFFICER ASKS YOU MANY DOCUMENTS IT MEANS YOUR DOCUMENTS WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO SATISFY HIM AND IT GIVES YOU A HINT THAT IF SAME DOCUMENTS REACH TO CIC OFFICER HE WILL REJECT YOUR FILE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT RESEARCH OR ASK ADDITIONAL HE JUST REFUSE OR ACCEPT.
