Application Refused due to Officer Error - Reconsideration Experience
Hey y’all,
A bit of a background. I came to Canada right after highschool and completed my undergrad and started working full time in Nov 2023. Have been working for the same employer since but I did change positions last year (NOC remained the same as 13100). I got an ITA in Jan 2026 and applied in March 2026 with all the required documents.
I got a refusal on Friday stating that for my first position at my company, I did not provide my job duties and therefore the officer couldn’t verify that NOC 13100 was the right NOC claimed.
Fortunately, I kept a record of everything and I can see that I submitted that document and also called IRCC twice to confirm and they said they do see the document was uploaded and this was most likely a miss on the officer’s part. I have raised an officially reconsideration request through a webform with all the evidence and the agent on the phone was also kind enough to raise one for me from her side. I am also pursuing a JR!
I am just heartbroken that this happened because I have worked almost a decade to get this. My WP expires in 2 months and my current score is 511 (potential to increase to 514 if I redo IELTS). However, with the current status of immigration, not sure if i’ll get another ITA before next year!
Has anyone here been through something similar recently? How was your reconsideration process? Was it approved? How much time did it take? Any help is appreciated!
