To anyone who can please help

I have been offered a good job recently in Qatar, after I signed my contract which I got by mail I have been told by the employer that my visa application was rejected and my name is black listed.

I am not sure if they mean banned ; but regardless, I have no reason to be Banned

I am applying as Canadian citizen; though I am of Jordanian Origin .. Could that be the reason?
can they do this ?
is there anyway I can fight this through legal proceedings to at least get the real reason for my ban.

I have never been in any kind of troubles and I have travel to over 15 countries and I am I & out USA on regular base, never been questioned for what so ever !!!

I already resigned my job in Toronto based on that offer and now I am in deep shit if this turn to be my reality

.. I have never been to Qatar I did though worked in Saudi Arabia 10 years ago for couple of years .. still this thing is driving me crazy now.

Please any advice anyone ?

Thank you guys for your answers.

My efforts may fail, but I will not fail to make efforts.

I have family to provide to, and would sure follow up on this.

The state of Qatar has only one embassy in Washington DC

for USA, Canada & Mexico but I will sure need to know why the hell I am being banned.

but it is a relief to know that I am not the first Jordanian/Canadian or American who is denied..as my mind start boggling left & right on why this happen to me.

Hello,

Did you go to Qatar for your site interview? If so, I do not understand why you were not black listed that time. Wishing you the best.

Mate of mine had the same issue, he got a job offer and prospective employer told him that they could not get the visa. He was an Asian orgin of UK national.

However, later he found out that employer changed their mind and offerd the job to someone else with lower salary.

I think you could find out the eason for been banned via forign office of Qatar. Good luck mate.
