I've received an email saying that my application has been rejected by the following reason:\

"I am not satisfied that you meet the skilled work experience requirement because your employment letters and contracts do not specify any duties. As a result, I am unable to assess that you have acquired work experience as an office administrator as defined by the lead statement and main duties of the National Occupational Classification matrix."

In my case here, should I re-apply or could I just send a new employment letter to them?

Please help...

I understand that in your case, Employer had not put detailed duties in the reference letter. But did you not send to CIC an explanation letter why duties are not present in the reference letter ? Did you not attempt at drafting the duties and responsibilities yourself on a plain paper and attaching it with your package ?

It already happened with me once. I was lucky that my employer got me positive LMO else i would have to either be on visitor visa or go back home . I was refused for the same reason coz my previous employer did not agree to write my responsibilities. What sucks is that they do not give you even one chance to prove yourself . Its a straight away rejection .

I am not a sabidhawan but you should ask your employer to help you with LMO. They need to send an application to Service Canada. The employer can get his LMO for up to two years.

If you have closed work permit now, you can apply under Federal skilled worker program. You will need a permanent job offer from the employer.

Thanks patricia, i am still working under open work permit (pgwp)that will expire in august 2013, i filled cec since 2012 august but havent heard anything(email AOR) from immigration other than my ecas online status saying that my application was received. i recently started working for another employer as full time permanent (NOC 3233)in december 2012 and i am afraid if i didn't do anything about my case, my work permit will expire and i will run out of status.

@ ujbaby I got 3 years closed work permit . With you situation coz you open work permit is valid till augus you can apply for under CEC again and hope to get AOR before august which i dont think should be an issue . Once you get AOR apply for open work permit which is now available for 1 year to anyone who got aor under CEC and have open work permit that will expire within 4 months .

I think you should call CIC and ask them. You will be asked for a full name, DOB. Explain that you submitted your file on August and you are not sure did you receive the file or not.

Hi ujbaby,

CIC changed the rules on dec 15, 2012. You can apply within 4 months of the expiration of your current work permit. But you have to have an AOR as one of the requirement. You will be okay ujbaby, don't worry.
