If you mean the Point Based System Calculator did not qualify and refused.. in that case you did the right thing by saying NO...phish wrote:Hi, I had applied for hsmp and was refused in the very first stage (assessment application form), I did not qualify for the points required.
In my opinion, your HSMP application was indeed a VISA application. However as one is not supposed to send Passport with the initial approval I assume it would be difficult for immigration offices other than UK to determine that you applied for this VISA - not suggesting that one should try to exploit the supposed loophole.phish wrote:Appreciate feedback
Obtaining HSMP VISA was a two stage process earlier. The initial approval was requested for the ultimate intention of gaining EC. By your own logic, if you applied for Canadian residency and provided all relevant documents but the passport; if your application was turned down, would you not call it rejection of a VISA application?phish wrote:Thanks Push, but again is what you have stated a fact? logically, I didn't apply for the visa, because I did not send the visa application or my passport, as you mentioned. I'm also considering the fact that no where in the hsmp assessment application or the guide is it mentioned that it is a visa application. However, in the E.C. application, it'd definitely be there.

If there is some way of updating your VISA application - u should do it
Now, how should the applicant answer the question: Have you ever been granted a visa for any country??Case wrote: Let's assume that an HSMP application (when it was a 2 stage process, not Tier 1) was made by an applicant and was approved but the applicant never applied for Entry Clearance (i.e.- never filled up a VAF form and never submitted it to any overseas UK diplomatic post). Also assume that he has never travelled to any other country.
Does this not mean that EC application is a separate application (from HSMP application) and must be submitted to get permission to enter (visa)? From my point of view, it is crystal clear.27. Please note a successful HSMP application does not automatically guarantee approval of your entry clearance or leave to remain application.
Well, you asked for response(s) from people who know or have an expert opinion about this! I would term the above responses as falling into the latter category of "expert opinion"!phish wrote:I would really appreciate it if someone who knows about this or has an expert opinion on this help me with that question. Thanks in advance.
