I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the Canadian Experience Class and have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, applicants in the Canadian Experience
Class are assessed on the basis of the pass/fail requirements set out in subsection R87.1(2). The assessment of these criteria determines whether a worker with Canadian experience will be able to become economically established in Canada. The criteria are:
temporary resident status during the period of work experience in Canada and any period of full time study or training,
meeting the minimum language proficiency threshold in either English or French, and qualifying Canadian skilled work experience.
Your application was assessed based on the occupations which you identified as part of your skilled work experience in Canada: Front Office Manager (NOC: 0632) and Reservations Supervisor (NOC: 6313)
I am not satisfied that you meet the skilled work experience requirement(s) because you have failed to accumulate one year of experience in skill level O, A or B occupation of National Occupational Classification. In reaching this decision, I considered that your application for permanent residence in Canada Experience Class was received at this office on December 02, 2013 i.e. qualifying period to assess the experience from December 02, 2010 to December 01, 2013. According to Schedule 8, you worked as Reservations Supervisor (NOC: 6313) until April 15, 2011 i.e. a total of 4.5 months from start of qualifying period (December 02, 2010). You also worked as Front Office Manager (NOC: 0632) at Union Bank Inn from April 16, 2011 to October 27, 2011 i.e. a total of 5.5 months. All other experience gained during qualifying period was in skill level “C” occupation (NOC; 1411). You have, therefore, accumulated a total of 11 months of qualifying experience.
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(1) 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 Regulations for the reasons explained above. I am therefore refusing your application.
The decision communicated in this letter constitutes the definitive and final decision on your present application. Your application will be retained, under current Government of Canada file retention guidelines, for a period of two years. Your application forms and supporting documents will not be returned to you. If you should submit a new application it would require new fees and documentation and would need to meet all the requirements in effect at the time the application is submitted.
