Dear All,
need your help and information, thanks for sharing!
I applied as a "Counter Manager" at the BAY counter, have offer of employment from them, and work on PGWP.
My application was returned as unacceptable, saying this:
"you are not eligible for processing in this category for the following reason(s):
The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration issued Instructions which were published in the Canada Gazette on May 4, 2013. Only applicants who meet the criteria specified in these Ministerial Instructions are eligible to be processed in the Federal Skilled Worker class.
The type of work permit you hold does not meet the requirements of Regulation 82(2)a or the exemption requirements of Regulation 82(2)b of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). You are working in Canada in a job that is exempt from a Labour Market Opinion, but not under an international or federal-provincial agreement. The work permit you hold is based on Post Graduate Work Program which is not an acceptable LMO Exemptions for arranged employment.
Since you did not provide evidence that you have work experience in the listed occupations, or, evidence that you are a candidate under the Ph. D stream, you do not meet the requirements of the Ministerial Instructions and your application is not eligible for processing.
Note: Any reference to work experience in a NOC code other than those identified by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and published in the Canada Gazette on May 4, 2013 is not assessed for eligibility under Ministerial Instructions. "
My questions are: 1) why ask for LMO if they say I am Labour Market Opinion exception.
2) how am I not eligible being not one of the occupations on the list if I have arranged employment in the NOC skill "O"?
Please help, my work permit expires in less than a year...
Also, what do I ask them/how do I correct them if I write a letter?
Thanks so much,
Julia

Something to add: when would they send me my application from the Sydney centre? when would I get it? I am worried about all those original documents as it will be a hell to redo them...
