To enfiled,
I am not eligible to send you a personal message through this forum. Hope you read this thread
My case was perfectly solved. I got my PGWP a month ago, and I realized that I should have explained my situation honestly on the first application. The arrest record wasn't the problem, because I've never convicted with an offense. I was "Charged" with an offense and the Crown stayed my case before trial; that means I was not guilty and my case would be dismissed after 1year. Also, my lawyer said I won't have a criminal record so I answered " No" to the question: Have you ever been charged or convicted with a offense. It was considered as a "misrepresentation" and for that reason, my application was rejected.
Fortunately, a nice visa officer gave me a chance to re-apply and I explained everything about the situation on the second application form (Dec 6, 2012). It took a while to get a response from the visa office, because the visa office should review my case more in depth and it is hard to change the first decision without proven mistake on visa office's side.
I called helpline almost everyday and on January 8th, 2013 I was told that my application was transferred to a special processing centre for further investigation. Sigh... I was hopeless and desperate.
On January 16th, 2013, Another nice office sent me a request to submit a final transcript ( I submitted letter of graduation already though). It was a good sign
and I attached the final transcript right away.
On January 18th, 2013, I called the helpline again and a representative said " Congratulation! your work permit has been approved!"
I learned that " be honest & truthful" in answering all questions on the application form. I did not intend to hide my arrest history though, it was better off to mention about every tiny things for being super honest!
If you want to know more about my case, just message me with your email address.
Thank you
