Hello All,

This is Abhishek from Hyderabad, India. It would be helpful if you guys help me out to deal this situation.

I applied my Canada PR to CIC, Buffalo Office (from Toronto) on Oct, 2007 and then after I received CIC letter regarding Language Proficiency Test. I appeared on IELTS- General (English) Exam from Hyderabad itself and scored less marks, required for smooth processing of my application. I sent that my IELTS result to Buffalo office and then after few weeks, I received another letter to say that they had calculated my total points and had taken decision to close my PR application, (because of few lesser points -sort by 3 points). I requested them to reopen my application and give me another chance, so that I can re-submit some additional documents (such as another IELTS exam, current Work experience letter) to support my application. However they didn’t consider my request and suggested me to apply again when I have sufficient points.

After then I found that CIC has changed Immigration RULES such as structure of IELTS numbers (Sometime in JULY-AUG, 2008) for SKILLED workers category. I again reappeared on IELTS exam on Sep, 2008 and scored more marks. As per new rules, now I am eligible to apply my application once again. Currently I have 68 points after calculating new IELTS results + Work exp + others.

I would like to know, does it possible to re-open my old application that I submitted at Buffalo Office (Submitted on Oct, 2007) and would like to claim new IELTS points on that same Oct, 2007 Application? If yes, then how can I do it?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek

Please guide me.
