Hello Seniors,
I have something new for you. Yesterday I received two letters from CIC "procedural fairness letter" and "Fee Exemption Proof Request Letter".
Actually I was submitted my conditional acceptance letter as a proof of fee exemption which was issued by IEC Kompass Canada and I paid my fee there so no need to pay fee to CIC that's why I submitted that conditional acceptance letter as a proof of fee exemption but I think they do not accept it.
Before posting the wordings of both letter I want to know if there is anything going wrong ? what should I do next ? Should I worry about it ?
Anyway here is the wordings in the fee exemption proof request letter:

Citizenship and Immigration Canada
This message has been submitted to your MyCIC account.
By submitting your application electronically, you have agreed to receive correspondence electronically.
And here is the wordings from procedural fairness letter.
Dear Sonu Ahmad:
This refers to your application for work permit.
Your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it have been reviewed and it appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of the Act.
I have reasonable grounds to believe that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by section 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, which states:
16(1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.
Specifically, I have concerns that the that you have provided a letter that indicates that you are applying under the International Experience Canada program. There is no such program between the Government of Canada and The Government of Pakistan. This does not appear to be a genuine letter.
Please note that if it is found that you have engaged in misrepresentation in submitting your application for a work permit, you may be found to be inadmissible under section 40(1)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. A finding of such inadmissibility would render you inadmissible to Canada for a period of five years according to section 40(2)(a):
40. (1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible for misrepresentation:
(a) for directly or indirectly misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act;
(2) The following provisions govern subsection (1):
(a) the permanent resident or the foreign national continues to be inadmissible for misrepresentation for a period of five years following, in the case of a determination outside Canada, a final determination of inadmissibility under subsection (1) or, in the case of a determination in Canada, the date the removal order is enforced
(3) A foreign national who is inadmissible under this section may not apply for permanent resident status during the period referred to in paragraph (2)(a).
I would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond to this information. You will have 30 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information in this regard. Please respond and clearly indicate your application number for all correspondence.
If you do not respond to this request within 30 days, your application will be assessed based on the information currently on file and may result in the refusal of your application.
Sincerely,
Immigration Officer
