Dear Friends,
I am on the verge of refusal for my ONIP Application. I have blindly trusted EE CRS calculator and selected my eligibility criteria as CEC (incorrectly) in my OINP application form.
Below are the complete details:
I worked more than one year in Canada between Aug 2012 and end of Sep 2013.
EE Profile created on : 31-Oct-2015 (EE Profile calculated CEC eligibility as 'Met')
PT interest letter : 6-Nov-2015 (EE Profile had been showing CEC eligibility as 'Met')
Appl package submitted : 24-Nov-2015 (EE Profile had been showing CEC eligibility as 'Met')
Acknowledgment received : 15-Dec-2015
Req to submit ECA : 31-Dec-2015
ECA report sent : 6-Jan-2016 (EE Profile updated CEC Not Met)
I realized the fact and sent a Letter to
Ontarionominee@ontario.ca with all these points and also requested in the mail that
"Please consider my application under FSW category because I am no more eligible now under CEC.
I request you to kindly let me know if I need to submit any application form for the same."
But I did not receive any kind of response to the mail though I did follow up twice to the email.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Today I have received a mail from Express Entry stating that : Procedural Fairness Request – Canadian Experience Class
"Your application does not provide
sufficient evidence that you have a minimum of one year (12 months) of cumulative, and
full-time employment (1,560 hours or more) or an equal amount in part-time paid work
experience in a National Occupation Classification (NOC) 0, A, or B occupation in
Canada in the past three years from the date of PT Notification of Interest from Ontario.
Please note that the OINP calculates cumulative work experienced based on the date of
the PT Notification of Interest.
In your case, the Program issued the Notification of
Interest on November 6, 2015 and your work experience was assessed three
years prior as of of this date.
You have 30 calendar days from the date of this letter to provide additional information
or documentation to support that your application satisfies program criteria.
Should the program not receive additional information within this timeframe, your
application will be assessed based on the existing information on file which may lead to
the refusal of your application.
Thank you for your application and your interest in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee
Program."
Now I am not sure How to respond and I cannot provide CEC Documents as it is clear that i wasn't eligible at the time of the application.
Could you please help me and give your inputs on this.
Thank you in advance.
