Dear Asivad,
Good day to you. I received CIC- ITA via PNP last sept. 8, as I am gathering my documents I have few questions and doubts which i am not really certain of what to do. I've asked several people in the forum and some of them told me to ask you since you guided applicants on whatever confusions they have.. And here it is;
1. I had applied to Nova Scotia Nominee Program-Demand EE early this year and reached the minimum required points of 67 which they asked for. Sometime in june I received AOR with file number from Nova Scotia. And by july I received a letter from Nominee officer that they refused my application for the reason that I have not met the 67points as per new guidelines which take effect in june. And they told me that no appeal will be considered, however they are glad to accept if will submit a new application in line with the guidelines at that moment. By August, luckily i received nomination from PEI and CIC ita on sept. 8. My question is: Should I say YES or NO on the statutory question of " Have you ever been refused refugee status, an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including CSQ or application to Provincial Nominee Program) or visitor visa to canada or any other country?"
There are few people told me to say NO, as it will generate a UCI number once I say YES. But then they are not certain and I am afraid of what I read about rejections regarding this matter.
If you answer Yes, you will be prompted for UCI. If you don't have UCI, answer No. You can explain this in the LOE section - that you were refused by NS and you answered No because you were not allotted UCI.
2. Secondly, I am the principal applicant and I am not claiming points for my spouse's work experience. I believe that I still have to upload his work experiences document as shown in my document checklist generated after filing online forms..My spouse worked in the bank from 2001 to 2014 with different designations. The problem is, the bank that he was working with has been closed just last year(2014) and all his supporting documents such as payslips, income tax return, appointment letters and all others was left inside that bank. And no one is allowed to open or get anything from that bank as it is now under receivership and investigation as mandated by the agency in-charge. And there bank manager is nowhere to be found. My query is, what other supporting documents or proof of his work history can I possibly attach aside from what I had mentioned earlier that was left in the bank?
Remove their entire work experience OR attach whatever document you have for that experience. Either way, the officer is going to assign you zero points for that section if the experience was acquired entirely outside Canada. If it was acquired outside Canada, that work experience is completely irrelevant to your PR application.
I fervently hope that you can shade some light on my questions.. Thank you ahead.
