Why applications on this route get refused
Negative decision by the Interdepartmental Permitting Commission
The Interdepartmental Permitting Commission reviews the application to obtain a quota for attracting foreign labour, and can issue a written notice of refusal, with the reason, within 5 business days.
How to avoid it: Make sure the employer's registration, licensing, and quota-related documents are complete and accurate before the Commission reviews the application.
Missing or incomplete documents
The permit process depends on a specific set of documents from both the employer and the individual foreign worker.
How to avoid it: Check both the employer's and your own required documents against the published list before applying.
