Guys just found some pages on how CIC processes the EE PNP applicants .looks like refusal rate might be very low for PNP guys .Please check below
7.8. Refusing the application
There are three bases upon which a provincial nominee who meets all statutory admissibility
requirements can be refused a visa:
OP 7-B PROVINCIAL NOMINEES
9
2014-01-13
The officer has reason to believe that the applicant does not intend to live in the province that
has nominated them;
The officer has reason to believe that the applicant is unlikely to be able to successfully
establish economically in Canada; and
The officer has reason to believe that the applicant is participating in, or intends to participate
in, a passive investment or an immigration-linked investment scheme as defined in R87(5) to
R87(9) of the Regulations.
In each case, the officer must have some evidence to support this belief and overcome the
presumptions implied by the provincial nomination. Every provincial nominee agreement obliges
the immigration officer to consult with an official of the nominating province regarding the intention
to refuse before the refusal is actually made.
If the officer, after consulting with the province, still intends to refuse, R87(4) requires that a
second officer concur with the decision to refuse, before it can be made official. Both officers’
names should be clearly recorded in the CAIPS notes.
Also check the OP7b pdf file from this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/econ/pnp/index.asp?v=enhanced
It also shows different clauses and other crtiteria that officer checks in a PNP application .
