客戶N,去年6月18日簽收的聯邦技術移民,11月7日收到了Negative Eligibility Review (NER),原因是分數不夠。拒簽信里有這麼一句話:
You were assigned 11 points for your 2 years of full-time work experience, or the equivalent in part-time work, within the 10 years prior to the date your application was made, in accordance with R 80 of IRPA. Points were assigned for your work experience with 公司名 from 27 June 2007 to 26 June 2009. No points were assigned for your work experience with 公司名 from 26 June 2009 to 23 May 2014 because sufficient evidence that you performed a substantial number of the main duties of the occupation was not provided, as set out in the occupational description of NOC 5125.
這明顯是錯誤的,雖然申請人的Primary NOC Code是5125,但是5125隻要求1年的連續工作經驗,而工作經驗的分數,應該是由過去10年中所有NOC 0、A、B的工作加起來算的。事實上,客戶有4年以上的1225的工作經驗,這樣加起來就夠69分了。
遺憾的是,客戶最初是DIY的,找到我們的時候,已經過了60天聯邦法院的上訴期限了,於是我們只能幫客戶和CIC溝通,我們先填了代理表,然後以移民顧問的口吻發信給CIO要求重新算分。
Actually, working from 26 June 2009 to 23 May 2014 in this company, Ms. N takes the position of Project Manager which conforms with main duties of NOC 1225 (Skill Level B). On the Part b), Question 12 of application form Schedule 3 – Economic Classes-Federal Skilled Workers, she also write clearly and definitely that the NOC Code for Project Manager is 1225. In accordance with IRPR 80 (2), points should be assigned for her work experience in this company from 26 June 2009 to 23 May 2014, and from 27 June 2007 to 23 May 2014. Ms. N had more than 6 years full-time work experience within the 10 years prior to the date her application was made, so she should be assigned 15 points for this in accordance with IRPR 80(1)(d). And Ms. N has obtained sufficient points to qualify for immigration to Canada, the minimum requirement being 67 points.
我們前後至少溝通了3次,4個月過去,發過去的信如石沉大海,一點迴音也沒有,然而到了6月8日,突然從CIO發來一封郵件:
Dear Sir/Madam
Please be advised your request for reconsideration has been forwarded to the appropriate person for action/review.
Thank you.
類似的郵件我們之前也見過,是轉到Vegreville的境內大簽申請要求重新考慮,一點消息也沒有。
最後的反轉劇情是,今天上午居然收到了Positive Eligibility Review (PER),時隔7個月,客戶的材料得以重審,發PER過來的,和當年拒簽的簽證官是同一個人。
說明移民局內部在明顯違反移民法的事實面前,還是會有一些糾錯機制,不是什麼事情都要弄到上訴這一步,另外他們也沒有因為“反正過了上訴期限”對我們置之不理。
