Re: Visa Rejection
Watch it..! I just know that CIC DO make mistakes - all the time - am currently working on a mistake they made today - I always chase them up on them and 9 times out of 10 they will accept their mistakes.
So depending on what REALLY happened for the OP, it may be worth seeing if they will re-consider.

What I meant was that there may have been a valid reason why such a deficient application was sent in. I simply cannot understand why someone would not send documents in that they had access to. Something smells.

Re: Visa Rejection
Maybe it was a "lets see if we can squeeze under this NOC even though we didn't really do 100% of those duties".

Re: Visa Rejection
Thanx for all the replies.
We're looking at going through the whole rigmarole again. I'm speaking with another professional, who has been pointed my way by a friend in Calgary, to see what we can do and how we should proceed.
The thing that looks to have sunk our application was not having any independent proof of my carrying out the roles I have stated in our application. As I hadn't mentioned our plans to migrate to anyone at work, I was unable to get confirmation from my employer of the duties outlined.
Let's see if we can get it right this time.

Re: Visa Rejection
If my memory serves me right, from what I read on here, weren't there quite a few applications chosen for the Ottawa trial which didn't make it through? What is the trial? A more severe way of processing? Would these have made it through the London office more easily I wonder.
Anyway, good luck and I hope you find another way to Canada.

Also, our immigration consultant would not have charged a fee if our application was rejected - apart from for medical reasons.

Not sure if it helps now, but when we applied my husband simply asked his HR department for a reference letter outlining his duties - he didn't tell them what it was for, and they didn't ask. Even if they do ask, couldn't you just say it's for a mortgage application or something?
I was advised that should I be unable to get an official letter of reference, then I should personally write a letter outlining the duties I had carried out in any roles over the last 10 years. After 6 pages I thought I'd got everything covered. Alas, I should have gone cap in hand to personnel and tried that option.
As a rule, my company haven't normally given out letters of reference. They have, in the past confirmed employment duration, attendence and sickness records. The reputation of the company, Ex ICI, was usually good enough as a reference in the chemical/petrochemical industry.
