Hello everyone,
On June 4th 2020, my Canadian Experience Class application was approved. I received the COPR.
I would like to share my story. It might be helpful to you.
In 2016, I got my Post Graduation Work Permit due to my Masters on Engineering.
In July 2019, I applied CEC, but my application was refused on November 4th 2019. According to immigration, my first application was refused because my professional experience letters did not state my NOC duties.
On November 7th 2019, my BOWP was refused because my CEC was refused. Therefore, I lost my status as a worker. As a result, I lost my job.
On November 17th 2019, I applied for restoration as a visitor because I didn’t have status in Canada.
On November 20th 2019, I applied for CEC with new references letters presenting all NOC duties.
Since November 7th 2019, I couldn’t work. I could not apply for CERB or EI because my old SIN expired with my PGWP. I had to be in Canada burning my savings.
On February 14th 2020, I got my restoration of status as a visitor. It’s important to do the right thing.
On June 4th 2020, my second CEC was approved. I applied for my new SIN. I was told that a new SIN can take 20 days to receive. I hope I can go back to work soon.
I did not pay lawyers. I talked with my MP and YMCA, but they did not know much about Express Entry. I read stuff online.
I could not pay 6000$ to lawyers and be unemployed for 7 months. Some lawyers told me that I could do by myself.
All the best!
DMS
