I think it’s good that you were honest about your previous CAQ, but I understand how discouraging it must be to receive a notice of intent to refuse after trying again. If I were in your place, I’d carefully review the reasons they provided and respond with as much supporting information as possible to clarify your situation. It reminds me a bit of playing Ragdoll Hit—I sometimes face setbacks, but I’ve learned that adjusting my approach and trying again can still lead to a better outcome.
