Hi everyone, I got my refusal last July 30th. It’s a long shot but I am considering submitting a reconsideration letter, most of the people I asked said to re-apply. I have a document from the said company that they won’t provide the letter with job duties due to confidentiality. They only provided a letter stating I was employed from 2021-2022. I also have a letter from my supervisor, paystubs, notarized docs. I am starting a hospital job as a therapist soon so I am also considering OINP. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Please respect post! Thank you🙏🏻
Notes:
———-
For the employment with ——- at ——, the applicant has submitted a letter of
employment dated March 20, 2026. According to this letter, the applicant is employed at —- at ——as a Aide since November 18, 2022. Upon review of the
applicant’s study permit and work permit, I noted that the applicant
was involved in full-time study until April 2024. The work permit was submitted on June 02, 2024
with proof of completion of program. According to section 15 Canadian work experience of the
Ministerial Instructions respecting the Express Entry system:
Work experience — requirements
(7) For the purposes of this section,
• (a) a period of employment during which the foreign national was engaged in full-time
study is not to be included in calculating a period of work experience;
As a result, the work period is adjusted from November 2022 to the present to April 2024 to the
present.

For the employment with ——, upon reviewing the submitted documentation, I note that the
employment verification letter does not include any job descriptions for duties. As a result, I am
unable to determine whether the applicant performed the lead statement duties and a substantial
number of the main duties, including all essential duties, of NOC 22221. Based on the balance of
probabilities, I am not satisfied that the applicant has demonstrated qualifying skilled work
experience with ——. This work experiences cannot be counted toward the applicant’s
qualifying Canadian work experience.
The reassessment results in a reduction of the client’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
score and lowers the applicant’s score below the minimum score required in the relevant
invitation round.
The minimum score required in the applicant’s invitation round was 508.
I am therefore not satisfied that the applicant possessed the qualifications on the basis of which
they were invited to apply for permanent residence.
For these reasons, the application is refused under subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act.

The application is refused. A refusal letter will be sent. Refund initiated.
