@ JIJI IRAWO

What if the PCC is obtained applying online and received same with no signature...mentioning signature not required.

Also my online bank statement mentions the same thing...signature not required since the statement is computerize.

Please suggest.

REASONS FOR REJECTION ON EXPRESS ENTRY APPLICATION
1. Lack of Education Credential Assessment-ECA(they will just ask for copies of degrees without ECA but when you fail to submit ECA, then the hammer comes)
2. Lack of degrees Certificates: this is where ECA is uploaded without copies of degree certificate
3. WRONG UPLOAD OF DOCUMENTS: All uploads must be only one document, as the second document will cancel out the first
4. Lack of document translation;
5. Use of online bank statements
6. Job Offer wasn't proving it is a permanent job
7. LACK of PCC-Police Clearance Certificate
8. LACK of PCC- for online/correspondence courses done outside your country
9. LACK of PCC - uploading translation of the Police Clearance, not the original one.
10. Missing copy of passport pages
11. Missing of visa, stamps on various travelling done

This might help some one on this forum
Thank you

Hello JIJI IRAWO,

Thanks for this update.

Assume that one now has a new passport which is blank and doesn't show any previous travels. How is one going to to prove any previous travels?

Passport showing previous travels is now expired and one is not in possession of it.

Thanks

@silasnjita,
In my own opinion, I think the best thing is to scan the stamped pages of the expired passports that shows that you have travelled to so and so. then also scan the new data page of the new passport and also supply them an handwritten note duly signed by you explaining this issues in details (that was what I did). Remember the information supplied will be compared to the 'travels' form earlier filled by you.
Thank you

@alamazwar , I don't have ready made answers the above questions. One will have to read thoroughly the 'rejection' threads or ask these questions from the threads in other to get a good answer. The painful thing about EE is that CIC does not relate with us on phone. their reply is the EE is strictly done online.
comparatively, I think the FSW guys really enjoyed while it lasted, because any missing item will be requested for and not a basis for rejection as we have it in EE.
Best of luck to us all.
Thank you

Thanks JIJI for your response.

What if you are not in possession of the old passport? I know in some countries they do collect your old passport when you apply for a new one.

What if you had not made a copy of those pages that show your travel history??
What can one do in this case? What can one expect??
Thanks

Any new nominations or AOR yesterday or today ?

 

[tan_sur69]

It is over 1 month after sending the additional docs request, I have not heard from the nominee officer.
Will one receive a rejection mail from Nova Scotia office of immigration, if the final decision is negative or they do not send negative decision to applicant ?

Seniors, any suggestions ?

hi everyone,

i want to inform that i received an email from nsoi-a letter of intends to refuse my application. Last january i got 68 points but when nsoi released a new point system last May i have only 66 points. I lose 2 points for the experience. Before, 5years of experience will have a 15points but after a new points system was released i got only 66 points. Here is the content of the letter they sent to me. By the way my application was received by nsoi last january 23. Hope this will help to other applicants.

oh no ...its really a sad new for us, as i have also applied with the cut-off points i.e. 67 with 4 yrs of experience for 15 points. WHY THEY ARE CONSIDERING THAT UPDATED POINT TABLE FOR EARLIER SUBMITTED FILES, IS IT FAIR....

lyndzkiel bro did not you mailed them by asking this.....the changes should affects for new submission after may 19 and so on.

The new criteria was set on May 2015, people those who received AOR in May 2015 are evaluated with latest criteria.
Cases like mine, that received AOR prior to May 2015 are evaluated with old criteria.

The best approach would be to give an explanatory note on the peculiar situation of things and sign it accordingly. This is to avoid being 'sanctioned' for incomplete docs.
