Hi everyone,

reason on letter -
Thank you for your interest in working in Canada. After careful review of your work permit


application and supporting documentation under the International Mobility Program, I have


determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee


Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing


your application on the following grounds:


• Eligibility for a work permit in this category only applies to the spouse or common-law


partner of a work permit holder who is doing work that is at a level that falls within National


Occupational Classification (NOC) skill levels 0, A or B.


So many mistakes in it ,
1. We never applied under International mobility program.
2. My job is under Noc B with the mentioned noc code on the letter acc to noc website as well .
3. Also we lodged the file on Oct 2024 before the rule got changed on Jan 2025 .

I am looking to go for a reconsideration as there so many flaws from their side ,

what are the chances for the approval, if anyone can suggest ??
