Hello @legalfalcon and members, please help

I got my GCMS notes today and its very confusing/incorrect. Below are some inaccuracies in my notes,

  1. I am a Software engineer with NOC 21231 and I have mention this everywhere in my documents and application. But when I see my notes I see some weird NOC codes 3113 and 1243 for dentist and coordinator (in red below)
  2. The years of foreign experience is not counted correctly. Its mentioned 2022-12. But I am in Canada since 2021-10.
  3. The canadian experience is also shown as 2 years 5 months. But I only had 1 year of work ex when I applied.
  4. Somethings like the salary and review required reasons(couldn't provide work ex on letter head but provided all other supporting docs) I can say are valid.

I am confused if the notes are generated incorrectly or there is a backend data mixup with my application because they also say that the job description matches with the lead statement and main duties.

Question, should I call IRCC agent and ask them to make a note of this or raise a webform for this observation?

Due date on the file is 2 March.

Below are my GCMS notes extract.

- Junior Dentist (NOC: 3113) - at Dr. Phani's Dental Clinics - Doc# 547893006 - Letter dated 2022-11-24appears to confirm employment in declared occupation throughout the specified period, and provides a job description which is consistent with the lead statement and main duties as set out in the declared NOC category.

hi i have a query related to cbsa notes.
i received them on 25th jan, the notes are showing the status of 18 jan.
Eligibility: pass, Criminality/Info sharing: IP, Security: Not started.

In individual sheets of criminality PA status is showing passed-Bio and spouse`s showing as IP. (I need to know why there is a difference in individual sheet and summary sheet) status date is 6 jan for PA and 26 Nov for Spouse which is the AOR date.

Furthermore, I received RPRF request of 5 jan and paid the same day but it is still showing as OUTSTANDING in the notes, in spite of that the notes were generated on 18 Jan. (I havent received acknowledgement from IRCC upon submission of RPRF proof in gckey portal), Do we receive the acknowledgement when the officer reviews the document ?

Is there any specific review time for file like after 01 month officer sets reminder upon asking the ADR.
See the notes in the last pages of the notes, under eligibility. See if it passed by office case processing agent/case analyst?

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
I just received my GCM's notes and the below information is given in notes by Case Analyst on 20 March:

Having analyzed this application based on the documents submitted by the applicant and the information contained in the file, I make the following recommendation
ANALYST RECOMMENDATION: Review Required
A11.2: Review Required
R75: FSW MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS -Appears Met
R76: SELECTION CRITERIA - FSW POINTS/Funds: Appears Met FSW points total: 78
Ready to Finalize
RPRF: Complete
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
CRS Score at invitation to apply (ITA) 498
CRS points minimum score for round: 496
CRS score at application (APR): 0 / Verified CRS score: 448



It also includes following details:
- eDoc# ******
- Web-based search confirms employer information
- Letter dated 15NOV2022 appears to confirm employment in declared occupation throughout the specified period, and provides a job description which is consistent with the lead statement and main duties as set out
in the declared NOC category.
- Letter confirms salary of *****
- Letter confirms full/time employment;
- Documented Income Provided: Pay stubs NOV/DEC2021 +APR/OCT2022 (Doc# *******) CRS Foreign Work: 1 year and 2 months.
FSW Work: 0 years(s) 0 month(s) of 1year(s) - REVIEW REQUIRED CRS Foreign Work: 1 years)
WORKEXPERIENCE:1year, 9FSWPoints
ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT OFFER: 10 FSW Points eDoc# *******
ADAPTABILITY: 0 FSW Points
Has arranged employment (REVIEW REQUIRED)


I am stressed about why my verified CRS score is 448 instead of 498.
Have they not considered 50 points for my LMIA-approved Job Offer? Or as the arranged employment is under review required so they will review it first and then will add 50 points to my profile. I noticed they have mentioned 10 FSW points for arranged employment but not added 50 crs points for arranged employment.

This is stressful, kindly help with your valuable advice if anything I could do from my end to resolve this. Thanks.

Thank you for your response. i filled divorce application last week and processing ti

Thank you for response.
Hi, i got divorce certificate request On Nov 20, 2023 and submitted legal separation agreement along with explanation that i have to wait till Feb 12th 2024 to fill final divorce. Afterthat, i didn't get any reply from IRCC and ordered gcms notes. I got gcms notes today and got this information

Last week, i completed final filling of divorce and now waiting for court decision. court processing time is 4-6 months.

Should i inform IRCC about final filling of Divorce?
Is there any solution for this or i have to wait until i receive divorce certificate?

You can inform IRCC but it states application on hold pending divorce certificate.

Also, i called IRCC last week and they mentioned that background progress is in progress. They didnt mentioned that my application is on hold. Also, they said they moved my application to Operations Support Centre, Ottawa.
This is really stressful. My Aor is July 20th, 2023 and divorce certificate will takes 4-6 months more
