Hi guys, I got a refusal letter stating
1> "Im not satisfied that you meet the first part of requirements because the qualifying offer of arranged employment you submitted
was designed to offer you employment if you obtained a work permit. Im not satisfied that yopu have a valid job offer from current employer offering you a full time
job if accepted as a permanent resident"
2> " IRPA states that a foreign national must before entering Canada , apply to an officer for visa or other document required by the regulations"
I arrived to Canada in 2012. At port of entry received Open Work Permit. Found a job, but couldn't work in the occupation until I will have Red Seal, so I worked as Lube Tech. Obtaining Red Seal rules were
changed a bit in the time and it took me almost a year to get it. During that process I had to extend work permit - got it for 1 year. After I received had to apply for new work permit as old one was about to end.
New permit is for 2 years, Im still on it. I have applied for PR in Jan 2015 ( 830 point without ECA, applied with CEC), refused in April. My LMIA was valid until June 2015. I don't know what went wrong.
Job offer was here before I found it.
None of my documents states that my employer offers me the job only if i will receive PR. Nothing says that I didn't have work permit. Went to 3 IMMIGRATION CONSULTANTS - was free.
All of them say I will have to re-apply. I will have to wait 1 year from last application was submitted.
There is one line in the Job Offer " This contract shall be for an indeterminate period from the date the employee assumes his functions, conditional upon the employee obtaining a valid work permit pursuant to
the Immigration Regulations, and his successful entry to Canada"
Just one of the Consultants said that might be the problem.
At all times I had continuous work permit, I've sent to CIC just the last one which was valid.
Still don't know what went wrong. Im afraid that when I will apply again, they will refuse it again
