Dear All,
I need an expert opinion on my case.
I am Indian citizen working in Qatar & aspiring to immigrate to Canada in future.
I applied under express entry & got SINP nomination later. I submitted my application after I got invite, however, yesterday I got rejection mail from CIC with below reason.
"The Police certificate from QATAR that you provided with your application is not acceptable. It does not cover all of the time you spend in that country. Your addresses/background information state you were in Qatar starting May 18, 2013."
When I got job in Qatar, I came on business visa and then after 2 months I got residence permit/ work visa. This is very normal phenomena is Middle East that companies on board candidates on business visa and later 2 months they process residence permit. In my Qatar PCC, they have shown my tenure from the time I got work visa (i.e. after 2 months/ July 2013) not from the time of my arrival.
Now these 2 months from my arrival on business visa to I got my work visa, is not captured either by Qatar PCC or Indian PCC.
I overlooked this matter when I submitted my PCC & CIC official cancelled my application rather than raising query.
I have stamp on my passport of my arrival date, travel tickets, even hotel booking when I landed in Qatar so I can prove that my claims are valid that I was already in Qatar on business visa even if my Qatar PCC states the time from my work visa.
My questions are as follows :
1. Is there any way where in I can talk or send email to CIC to explain the misunderstanding of my stay in Qatar as per PCC & ask them to reconsider existing application only?
2. Shall I approach Indian Embassy of Qatar or Qatar PCC authority to get these 2 months added in my either PCC?
3. How can I ask for extension to SINP showing my case?
4. Do I need to create new express entry from different email address and ask SINP to re-issue nomination with revised EE number?
5. Can I use same medical records or again I need to go from medical examinations ? (It was completed last month only)
Thanks in advance.
Hi Gujjuboy,
It's really strange. I can not understand.
I am also in Qatar. I also have similar experience where i came initially on work visit visa. However, later on moved to Work residence permit.
Qatar PCC only got from the date of Residence permit which i submitted along with my E-Apr application. So far no rejection from CIC. Not only in my case but also my college who got his PPR.
In Personal history, i mentioned all the employment periods without any Gaps. Qatar PCC from the date of RP and Indian PCC from 18 years. It should not be problem in your case.
Please refer below my suggestions
1. Send CSE immediately explain the requirement of Qatar PCC and attach all your details related to your business trip( copy of business visa, tickets and other stuff). Tell them that you are on business visa. Qatar CID will only consider from the date of RP. Attached your employment contract and also include your Employment letter.
2. Create new profile and contact SINP to accept your new one.
I am sure they will re-open your case. No doubt.
Send me your personal contact number. so that i can call you as i am in Qatar.
Be cool. you are okay.
