Actually, once, when I requested a visitor visa to Canada, the consulate returned my
passport with the visa *and* a small ad saying "come work in Canada!". Granted, not
a newspaper ad, but still...

(it was the Seattle consulate, by the way)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me that 82.2.c.ii mentions validation
by the HRDC. So why is the employment offer "non validated"?

Also, what is the difference between 82.2.a and 82.2.b above?

Thanks, Alex.

That sucks! Goodluck getting all of it sorted out.

For what it's worth - and I know nothing about Canadian immigration - Atlantic Canada
is hurting for immigrants and I believe it may be way easier to move there. Problem
is you have to live in Atlantic Canada...there is a reason they're dying for
immigrants

Default Re: Non-validated job offer

Alex,

82(2)(c) is not mentioning anything about HRDC validation, it says clearly - "an
opinion". There is huge distinction between validation and opinion -
validation process must take under consideration fact that foreign worker is
entering Canadian workplace as such and thus employer must prove that no
Canadian can be found for the job. An opinion doesn't deal with that factor
at all - it merely verifies A, B and C from 82(2)(c)(ii).

Visit HRDC website here to see the difference between validation for work permit
purpose and an opinion for immigration purpose:

Hi Bushbaby,

Sorry to hear you were refused. It is quite depressing because we are below the points threshold and have no job offer although we were way over the old score. However, we applied in May this year, knowing we would be assessed under the new rules and hoping that the strong aspects of our case would allow the visa officer to exercise positive discretion. It looks as though positive discretion may not really be used at the moment on points below 75, because we read an article in Canada News this month about another couple who were refused with 71 points, one had a bachelors degree-applied January this year.

I would like to think that if cases don't reach the 75 mark, they would be refused before an AOR is issued, but I can't help agreeing with the theory that money is being taken and anything below 75 is being refused anyway.

We also used lawyers who did advise us of the risk- we decided to take the risk and it looks as though we may have gambled wrong at present. Initially we used a different firm of lawyers and had a very bad experience, so we switched. Were your lawyers in Toronto?

I hope to read a post soon from someone who did get in this year, maybe just under the 75, but I have a feeling that there will be more rejections. We will look at the work permit route if we fail - how about your husband trying that rather than French or a masters?

Good luck to you both.

This was no way to accomplish what you claim your intentions were.

The end doesn't justify the means.

You could have simply asked/invited Mr. Miller to comment.

Personally, I don't buy your explanation and I don't think anybody else does either.

Henry

Default Re: Non-validated job offer

what it means is that the immigration officer should contact HRDC and have them very
the subclauses :

A) the offer of employment is genuine,

B) the employment is not part-time or seasonal employment, and

C) the wages and working conditions of the employment would be sufficient to attract
and retain Canadian citizens.

so what it is basicaly saying is that the immigraiton officer shouldnt just believe
that the job is correct because they have a piece of paper offering the applicant a
job, they shoudl call HRDC and make sure the job actually exists and its a real full
time job not just like operating an icecream stand outside the CN tower for 2 months
in summer and that it pays a proper wage that a citizen would accept, so its not just
like their uncle harry creating a job as a coffee lady in the office for $2 an hour.

this is not the same as a job being validated by HRDC as they do for a work permit
which is a lot more indepth and difficult with teh clauses about it having to have
been offered to citizens and non found etc. that doesnt apply in this case.

clasuses a) and b) are concerned with those that already are in Canada on a work
permit and are using that job as their offer of employment.

No, Manish, You are the Fool, and you proved it by attempting to provoke Andrew
Miller with harsh words about a situation that was not of his making. If you wanted
his reactions, you could have asked for them ... not make comments like you did.

The words you used for him showed absolutely no respect for him whatsoever. So,
either you were lying before, or you're lying NOW.

You call me a fool but you provide no evidence that I am other than attempting to
backtrack from your unkind words. That clearly proves who is the fool.

Dear Mr Miller,

While we all appreciate yout time and inputs to this group, please do not advice
people in this group in the way you did (cited below). I am sure that 'Tito' knows
what is AOR, what is assessment notice, as in his post, he clearly stated that he
decided to take risk by submmiting his application against unknown regulations.

It seems that you have enjoyed enormous pleasure in other's 'misfortune' - blaming
their doings against your warnings, hiring an agent not as competent as you ... --

although I do not think it is wrong to hire someone to prepare applications, I trust
it is applicant's education, experience and language ability that decide their
ability to set in Canada, 'Tito' said he has made the cut, there must be a reason for
this optimism, it might be not very right to frustrate people's sanguineness and wish
someone's failure.

Coming back to a immigration regulation, if the way how people prepared their
applications can enormously increase one's chance for application (which we know that
it is impossible to enhance person's ability for successful set in Canada), then I do
not understand why the system should be linked with the word 'good'

unfortunately it doesnt work like that. Not enough examination is done at the AOR
stage to determine what points you may have, it merely acknowledges that everythign
that needs to be tehre seems to be there (you didnt like forget to include form
IMM0008 or somethign crazy) and its been submitted into the system and is waiting to
be looked at. To determine the points it has to be examined in detail by an
immigration officer and that is what the fee is for. It really isnt that
unreasonable. The fee is only $550, take off the $50 for the PR card and you have the
$500 for one case. If you think that that case can take maybe a year to be processed
then you are talking $500 for a years worth of work. sur ethey arent working on it
24/7 but i am pretty sure a lot of work goes into it. Even if they only spent 2 weeks
actually working on it, that would still work out at only $12.50 an hour for
processing and they work on it longer than two weeks with the medical officers
checks as well and issuing everything etc etc $500 isnt really that much money. The
right of permanent residence fee is more at $975 but thats fully refundable so you
only pay it if you land and to say that (especially for say americans who dont have
all teh social things) you are moving into a country with access to their healthcare
and other social benefits pretty much as soon as you land without ever having paid
any taxes or anytihng like that then its not unreasonable. So unfortuantely you have
to pay the $500 to get the case processed to find out wether you qualify or not,
thats half of what you are paying for, to see if they will accept you or not. Now if
you have been very thourough in your reading or have a half decent consultant/lawyer
you hsould pretty much know 99% before you apply wether or not you qualify and not
apply if you think you get less than the required number of points. I think possibly
this is a left over attitude from the old rules where you could get say only 65 and
no worry because they could call an interview and give you 10 points and youd be
fine. so you could apply with a slightly lower score, but there are no more points to
be given in this new system. Sure there is officers discretion, both positive and
negative, but thats not gonna help you if you only have 71 points thats liek almost
having no points in one category and youd have to have a really strong case. i tihnk
teh discretion is more aimed at people who have maybe one point less or 2 like 74
points. but of course it could also be used negativly against someone with say 75
points who technicaly qualifies but they feel you wouldnt b suited to Canada. so if
you havnt got 75 points then of course you are taking a gamble applying but most
peopel would feel, if they are only a few points short, that for $550 is worth the
risk if they really want to move to Canada.you could spend maybe $550 on a new chair
or a new monitor for your computer or maybe decorate yoru living room or you could
spend it on trying to immigrate to Canada. It costs people a lot more when they pick
bac lawyers though who charge em a fortune as well.

chill out. all he was saying was that from his post Tito appeared to believe he had
made the point because he had recieved his AOR and there was the possibility that he
thought that had he not had enough points he would have been rejected instead of
receiveing an AOR. However as said earlier no points calculation is made before the
AOR is issued, it merely means they got your application ok, nothing seems at first
to be missing (like you forgot yoru fees or something) and its gone off to be
assessed. Far from trying to take glee from the situation is it not more fair to make
sure Tito knows this so his hopes are not unfairly raised in case he recieves a
letter of rejection after the officer went through his case and deemed not enough
points? I hope that does not happen but until he gets an interview waiver or a
succesful interview then he should just er(no pun intended er) on the side of caution
sp as not to leave himself open to much emotional anguish. if he knows he has no
medical problems and his background is as clean as a whistle then once he gets an
interview waiver or passes his interview he can break out the champagne and
celebrate.

tito is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: REJECTED! You must read this!

Thanks alles for all the comments (esp that of Andrew Miller), I quite agree with the bit about AOR but getting them to confirm that I included all required documents was enough for a start (afterall my friend lost money just because they claimed the fees was not included). Surely, I didn't spend all the months researching for fun!

I got more than 75 with the new rules and that is ok for now, I don't expect another set of rules aside those of June 28 before my case is decided but I definitely will not drop dead if the CIC guys are interested in performing magic. Isn't it their show?

Interview, medical, security and background checks are still far away and I will cross those bridges when I get there. Let's keep the mind busy with the business of today.

This site is fun and once again kudos to everybody for making it so.
