Dear Legal Falcon,

i got PR and did a soft landing. I applied with non-accompanying dependents. I am planning to permanently land after 4-5 months. My question is do i have to be in Canada for applying for family class sponsorship?

Or i can start the application process from outside Canada itself?

TIA

@legalfalcon
My AOR date is August 4, 2017.
According to GCMS notes, my eligibility was passed on Nov 8, 2017. Today, I contacted Mr. Ralph Goodale, MP. He told me that security was initiated on February 22, 2018. Kindly tell me how is it possible that security was started 3 and a half months after the eligibility was passed? Whereas, LVO replied to my status enquiry on February 1, 2018 thay my application was undergoing background verification checks.

Hello,
When an application security is launched, does mean that eligibility and criminality passed ?

@legalfalcon can you review this post as well ?

This refers to the personal banks with CSIS wherein they will check your info.

Dear @legalfalcon,

Thank you so much for all the valuable information that you have been sharing through this platform.

I hope you wouldn't mind answering a few questions that I have in mind. By the way I realize that similar questions have already been asked in the forum, but I am still unsure. So here it goes:

Question-1: I have the following non-Canadian foreign work experiences:

Company A – 2005 – 2010 (5 years)

Company B – 2010 – 2015 (5 years)

Company C – 2015 – 2018 (3 years) (started on 10 August 2015)


Is it okay if I only list my experience in company C in express entry profile? I don’t want to upload any document for company A and company B after receiving ITA. Is that fine and not a misrepresentation? Or should I include all three companies in the express entry (i.e. pre-ITA) profile and move company A and B under personal history after ITA? Which approach is the correct one?


Question-2: I received a promotion in company C. My experience in company C is as follows:

10 August 2015 – 6 February 2017: Contracts Specialist

6 February 2017 – Present: Senior Contracts Specialist (just a simple title change, promotion, no change in roles and responsibilities, increase in salary)


Do I need to have two separate entries for work experience in the express entry profile? (i.e. 1.Contracts Specialist between august 2015-Feb2017, 2. Senior Contracts Specialist Feb-2017-Present), or should I only have one entry with my latest title like If(1. Senior Contracts Specialist August 2015-Present)? I will have one single work experience certificate and the letter will mention both of my positions and their respective periods.


Question-3: I have accompanying spouse, who has six years of foreign (non-canadian) experience. Should I mention that in express entry profile or should I say no to work experience question? Is that a misrepresentation? Saying No seems weird to me I am not too comfortable.

Question 4- How is foreign work experience counted? (i.e. does it include the annual leaves etc.?) I have joined my most recent company on 10 August 2015. Today is 21 August 2018 and I have only been away for two-three weeks in a year, which is paid annual leave. It is a full time work (40 hours / week). Does it mean that I have completed three years of foreign work experience for CRS?

Many thanks in advance for your consideration, and I am looking forward to your valuable advice on how to proceed.

Yours truly,

1. You can only list the work experience for which you want to claim points. All other work ex can be only in your personal history.

2. If the work ex was with the same company, you can either show it as one, or you can divide it in two different work entries. So what suits you best.

3. Just say no. If you say yes, you will have to provide the work ref letters. For spouse's non Canada work ex you do not get points, and the work ex will be declared in personal history anyway. This is not misrepresentation.

4. The annual leave is not counted as a break. So you can count it as work as long as your were paid and were in employment.

Hey experts,

I am a paper-based PNP applicant, but I am considering EE. My application is in process for almost 19 months now and no end is in sight. I do not know why I am stuck in background check, but I suspect that my dependant's six Canadian visa refusals may have something to do with it.
What are my chances to be held back in EE as well? Is it worth it to submit an EE application?
Sorry if this is the wrong thread.

You can apply under EE, not the security check will be the same.

Does anyone have idea what is going on with file. Is pnp cancelled by cic. If anybody could help? @legalfalcon

This does not refer to the PNP being cancelled. This is a communication which was cancelled. See what is there in your eligibility notes, that is more important.

 

[legalfalcon]

No one can predict at what stage your application is at. Instead consider requesting GCMS notes.

Hi @legalfalcon
I really need your advice which would be much appreciated. I am Inland FSW applicant, my AOR April 18th/2018, Med passed and BGC at IP2 since April 23. There is no updates in my application till now. I have applied for GCMS notes at June 25. The case Analyst wrote R10 reccomended to pass. R75 and R76 review required, the PA provided an employment letter not dated , no apparent signature and not able to verify the employer through open google search.
I do not know what should I do now, the employment letter has already the signature of the employer and also stamped, he just didn't write the date next to its signature, so I don't know why he wrote no apparent signature. Moreover, since the pharmacy where I used to work at my back home country does not have a website. The only way to find it on google is to search its name in Arabic (my native language) or to write the provided address on google maps which I already provided on the employment letter. I also provided the telephone number and contact information on the letter.
Should I raise CSE and attach google search links for the pharmacy? or should I wait until they ask for additional documents?
Thanks a lot for your help, your help is really appreciated.
Best regards

Raise a CSE and address these concerns.

Hi legalfalcon
Can you please tell me is it necessary to carry international driving permit when moving to Canada from other country?
Does valid driving licence won't be counted?

It will depend on what you need the IDP for and which province you are going to.

Dear brothers and sisters ,
Good evening to everybody
I have a very important question regarding my gcms notes
It’s says that my application is queued for decision , and one more thing , it says the fbi clearance has been received but over the summary of the application it says additional document pending fbi !!
Could you help me out to understand first what queued for decision mean please !!!

No need to worry. If the FBI PCC is sent, then it will be updated and decision on your file will be made.

Hi @legalfalcon, I put in a request with my visa office in Los Angeles for the urgent processing of the COPR and visa stamping, because I have a medical mission training next month, and I'd need to apply for a visa to attend the training. I included in my messages, the invitation letter from the organization and the flight tickets. I didn't receive a response to any of the messages.

The tracking history for the courier service used, indicated that my passport was delivered to the visa office on August 8. I know that this isn't too long ago from the time I submitted my passport, but I was wondering if there's anything else that I can do to expedite the COPR processing. Thank you so much again for your support.

If you have an email id for the LA VO you can write to them or send an email to CPC Ottawa. Apart from this there is nothing much you can do.

To apply for family sponsorship you have to be physically present in Canada and have a residential address.

This all boils down to the facts of when and how eligibility is passed. Eligibility is a 2 stage process. First a recommendation is made by an analyst or an assistant and then the officer will make a final determination on the recommendation.

So go by your GCMS notes.

Thank you for our answer,

YEs, in most cases. But if your are referring to your MyCIC status, that is not when your BGC start.
