new Canadian immigration regulations
Anyone there who is processing immigration papers to Canada? They recently released a new rule with effect from February 2008 that rejects applicants whose occupation is not included in their list.
I just filed my application last year and they sent me regret letter and a cheque refunding my application fee.
My immigration lawyer is asking me if i want to wait for a review of the list or some hope to change their policy in the near future. If i decide not to pursue, my consultant will refund me half of the processing fee.
May i hear from those who were granted the visa to Canada? Is it really something I should not give up on? Is it really worth it? Would appreciate some insights!
what do you want to know? send me a PM

your lawyer should have explained to you the new rules. If you applied BEFORE new rules were implemented, your case should be proceeded under the previous rules.
Now. It’s not really that your occupation is NOT in the list. The rule works as following.
There are more demanded occupations, there are less demanded occupations. Your submit the application on date xx.xx.xxxx. The Immigration Offices first proceed the applications with more demanded occupation, and THEN, if within one year from the date xx/xx/xxxx no such applications left any more, then your application is proceeded. If it happened that your occupation is less demanded and your application is waiting for its turn for more than 1 year, your application is returned to you. It DOES NOT mean you are rejected. It means that there are more demanded occupations that need to be proceeded first, BEFORE your application. If you still want to try your luck, you can apply again. Next time you can be luckier, it means all demanded occupations BEFORE your application will be proceeded within 1 year, then the process on your application will be initialized as well. If again 1 year is expired and your application is still not proceeded, it will be returned to you again.
and for DaRu... just go and marry your girlfriend in Halifax, and you can visit her any time you want :)

Hi qatarisun, thanks for your reply. i'll speak to my lawyer about that and find out more details. what he did say is that the new rule struck them as a shock. they didn't see it coming, and he said that several immigration consultancy firms are petitioning to revisit this list soon.
thanks Loulsy for trying to assess it for me. I'm not an administrative officer, I am a compensation analyst.
I'm actually asking for advice from the people who managed to get their Canadian visa, if I should keep trying, or give up.
Is it possible that the reason is not Occupation?! maybe certain education or certain amount in the bank and all that?.. i dunno have someone inquire for detailsa bout it for u
WYSIWYG
then you would fall under the category of Administrative officers - 1221
there are a millions ways where u can find a category to fall into bcz at the end of the day 1 job can have a billions titles...
WYSIWYG
Hi, Loulsy, that's HR Managers. am not an HR generalist. I have a specialization in HR. the funny thing is that towards the bottom of the list says "Specialists in HR", but for some reason i was not considered for it. I really dont know how they evaluated my case.
HR professionals are on the list! look under H code 0112
WYSIWYG
thanks
