Resolving a work-permit refusal through appeal
The employer's application for a key position had been refused. The grounds for refusal were analysed; by restructuring the position description, salary level and employment justification, an appeal was filed within the time limit and the permit was obtained.
A refusal is often about the language of the file
The initial application had failed to convey the true nature of the position in the language of the authority's criteria.
Had the second attempt been made with the same file, it would have come back with the same rejection; the case structure had to change.
Our Approach
Keeping the commercial objective at the centre, we broke the legal risks down into measurable steps.
01 · Grounds Analysis
The grounds for rejection were broken down criterion by criterion.
02 · Restructuring
The position, salary and justification documents were rewritten in the language of the criteria.
03 · Appeal
It was filed within the appeal period with a strengthened file.
Timeline
The main stages of the process.
Same position, right framing, positive outcome
The permit was obtained through the restructured file and the appeal filed within the time limit; a benchmark file standard was established for the employer's future applications.
- File restructured in the language of the criteria
- An appeal pursued within the deadline
- The permit obtained for the position
- A case-file standard for subsequent applications
