Hi Guyz,
I am new to this portal, so kindly excuse me for any errors.
I made my first application for SINP-express entry program on 5th November 2015 and received communication from SINP on 4th December. They returned the application because of missing documents-
Work Credential and
Proof of funds(POF). I was not able to submit my work experience and Roles & Responsibilities from my current employer because of difficulties in obtaining them from, though I did provide other supporting documents like latest salary slip. appraisal assessment documents. Similarly I only managed to submit my previous employment work experience document having my joining, relieving, designation details only and not Roles and Responsibilities. For POF, I think I somehow missed that screen while submitting the application and OASIS portal did not stopped me on missing that page.
Q1 Why SINP did not ask me to provide the missing documents, is this the case with others as well or did I get stumped only :
?
Why you think SINP should ask for missing documents? They do if some minor documents are missing but POF and Work Reference letters are important as points are awarded based on them. The application guide clearly states that you may not be eligible for nomination if you failed to submit any missing documents. Below is the extract from SINP application guide. Points are awarded on the basis of one providing relevant documentation. How will SINP distinguish between one who is genuine candidate who is missed to upload from someone who just applied to get a seat and later may not be able to provide documentation. Their resources will be wasted in chasing people for documentation when they clearly say all documents need to be provided.
You may not be eligible for nomination if any of the following situations is true:
you failed to submit documentation as requested by SINP;
you failed to establish that your intent to live and work in Saskatchewan is genuine; and,
you and or your representative have intentionally misrepresented yourselves in the application.
I submitted a fresh application for SINP-express entry again on 4th Dec and this time for POF I did find the page and attached all proofs. For work credential, I was in same situation as earlier so on plain paper typed my roles and responsibilities and other details as the format mentioned in guide and got it attested from my manager, also provided my manager's company business card and photo id card along with it and also gave a self declaration document describing the problem in getting document from my company HR department.
Now luckily on 18th dec, I finally got Roles and responsibilities document in required format from my HR department and on same day I emailed it to both
immigration.documents@gov.sk.ca and
immigration@gov.sk.ca. Hopefully I will get same document from my previous employer tomorrow i.e. 21st Dec which I will send again.
Q2 Am I doing it the right way? I have not received any reply from SINP since my last email to them on 18th Dec except the automatic reply. Probably its been 1 day only and a weekend came. I don't want to miss the train this time. Please share your experience or let me know how to handle it.
It depends on SINP officer whether he accepts the plain letter, with manager's business card version of work reference letter. Some people have succeeded when they have used an affidavit rather than plain letter to achieve what you have done in case company is not providing work reference letter. Also, they add contract, pay slips, bank statements showing salary transfer, promotion letters to demonstrate their work experience. But again this is not what SINP asked for in their application guide for work reference so there is no 100% guarantee this will work.
Application guide from SINP clearly stated what a work reference should contain, below is the extract.
Documentation must include letters of reference from the supervisor or Human Resources Officer printed on company letterhead or the applicant’s official work book or other official government documents.
Each letter should indicate the following:
your job position and dates of employment;
your main duties/responsibilities;
the number of hours you worked each week if the position was not full-time; and,
the contact information of your supervisor or manager.
