Hi Jad,
Well, I did a dump action, I sent them that letter and they refused my PEQ with the reason that I started a new program of study in Quebec. Really I am desperate, What should I do now?!!! I am already intending to quiet my PhD and go for work. Do u have any suggestions about this case? I Plan to ask for a revision and submit a new letter confirming the cancellation of my program also a confirmation that I applied for the PGWP . I'm wondering how they refuse it with this cause as they already accepted my documents from the beginning and just asked for that letter to complete it, i.e they accepted the concept of starting a new program and cancelling it!
Thanks in advance!
Hi Spacewave, unfortunately, no one can predict the actions of immigration officers. Sometimes they can be very random. To be honest, I had a feeling this might cause trouble. It's common that they try to find the smallest of things to reject PEQ applications. A friend of mine had applied for PEQ and, as a verification that he knows french, he supplied them with his grades for his secondary education in French. They refused his application for PEQ with the excuse being that, in his secondary education, three of his classes were not in French language. They didnt even give him the chance or the time to take some test to prove his French level. They just refused it and he had to apply through the regular program. Another friend of mine who was applying through the regular program received a rejection because one of the papers they asked for was a photocopy (although he got it stamped by the official institution that gives that document). They also didnt give him time to try to get an original. He had to reapply from the beginning.
Long story short, you can never know how they think and why. Your only chance now is to do as you did. Wait until your program is totally over and your officially no longer affiliated at ALL in any way with your university, get a new letter from them that you are no longer student, and I suggest you contact a lawyer. You will need to write some letter to explain things, and it will much better if someone professional/expert does it. You'll have to pay some amount of money, but it will increase your chances in your appeal being accepted. You have to provide a very good supporting letter that tells them that the previous letter that you supplied them DOES INDEED show that you were not going to be enrolled in that program, and that as further proof, here is the new letter that shows that you are no longer a student. You can still do that letter on your own, but it has to be really good.
All the best!
