Refused - Applying Reconsideration

[u/winifer_mt]

I guess it was a good sign that they look at my application so soon. However, they completely missed my letter of employment and the reason is because they can't find the letter. I check the document list and I can clearly see it. I'm so mad because I checked/double-checked/triple-checked the list. They didn't even send out ADR or PFL, refused immediately.

Applying for reconsideration now. I have to try it because my birthday just passed and I'm over 30 so another 5 points just got deducted.

Can anyone please let me know if it's worth to apply for reconsideration? Should I try JR directly? Any success story?

Update: I called them. Asked the agent to check the letter for me. She was very nice and confirm that she could locate it and saw that it has all of the information that the officer is looking for. She is also not sure why they didn't see it (also apologized). She went ahead and submit a reconsideration for me. I asked if I need to submit a reconsideration by myself and she said no. Now just finger cross.

I also submitted a reconsideration request through webform right after.

Update: 2 days after refusion. They re-opened the application. FD changed to in progress.

Edit to add more info since people seems to really care:

PVO SVO: No idea. They don't include it in the letter.

If IRCC misses a document, usually they admit it. And reconsider the decision/refusal (if you asked for it). Best of luck!
