Hi @legalfalcon One question: I need to get a Dubai PCC. I stayed in Dubai for 6 and a half months between 2005-2007 (ten years ago).
I went on a visit visa. I spoke with the UAE embassy and they said that they don't issue a PCC on visit visas. My first application for EE was rejected as I did not have a Dubai PCC. This is my second ITA with a deadline in December.
What should I do about the PCC? Please help!

Hi @legalfalcon,

I was hoping you could help me out with this question.

I completed my first 2 years of undergraduate studies at one school.
Afterwards, I transferred to another university and got my diploma from there.
In my ECA application with World Education Services, I only send transcripts from the second university from which I got my diploma.
I didn't send transcripts from my first school from which I transfer.

My questions is: where should I mention my education at the first school?
If I put it in Education Section and answer "No, I didn't not get ECA for it", will it cause my profile to be ineligible for the EE program.

If I don't put it in Education Section, can I put it somewhere else?

Thank you!

Hi Buddy,

Need some help from you regarding the application process. In EE profile, I have mentioned that my wife won't be accompanying me to Canada. I received ITA, however, now the situations have changed and she is ready to come along with me. Can I change these details now and send the documents accordingly? First of all, Am I entitled to change the souse accompany status after receiving ITA?

In both the cases, I have CRS score more than the cutoff. Kindly revert at the earliest possible, thanks for your time

You can definitely change your spouse's status from non-accompanying to accompanying. However, it will affect your CRS score as spouse's education and language skills are added. So if that does not affect your CRS you can go ahead and change it, but you will need to justify it in the LoE.

As per IRCC:

An applicant’s CRS score is automatically recorded in GCMS at the time when

• their ITA is issued; and
• their e-APR is submitted.

At the time of the e-APR, processing officers should compare both CRS scores to determine which of the following scenarios should be applied:

• If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is equal to or higher than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application will not be refused under section A11.2, as long as the applicant’s supporting documentation corroborates their claims and they continue to meet the MEC for Express Entry, including the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply.
• If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is lower than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application should be refused under section A11.2 for not having maintained the qualifications that would justify the ITA.

Hi,

I will be leaving my country of residence in a while. I am planning to obtain a PCC maybe a week or a few days prior to my departure.
Can I use this PCC for an EE application?

The rules governing the PCC are:

• For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
• For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country.

When you say you will be leaving, I am not sure what you mean by that.

Dear Legalfalcon,

My GCMS notes generated on 25 August show the following status:

A11.2. FSW Eligibility by Agent - MET
Program Assistant Review: Recommend - Pass
R10 - Okay
Criminality - Passed
Medicals Passed

'Security- Not started'

On a separate notes I saw something as the following: Admissibilities: Security. Created Date: 10.05.17.... Due Date: 9.06.17.... Updated By: WBM... Status: Not Started

My file is currently waiting at a visa office for a final review. I am 186 days from AoR.

Why does the security status show 'not started' at this stage?

Will this cause any delay?

Security is the last stage of the application process, usually after the eligibility is done. the Security or the BGC is done at the LVO. If the security status shows not started, look for any retracted information in your notes, it will have s15/16 on the top right of that page.

That is an indication that the security may have started.

What is the email address to contact IRCC?

IRCC does not have a specific email. It depends on your VO, or you can raise a CSE.

Hi,

By leaving I meant, I will be leaving my job and going back to my home country. My PR is in progress and I was wondering, if just in case my application is rejected for some reason, obtaining PCC outside of where I reside is a hassle. Can I get before I leave this country? in anticipation for a next e APR ( god forbid)?

Check with other forum members who have obtained a PCC from Dubai. If you cannot get a PCC, you can explain it in LoE and submit the application. But, I have read applicants successfully obtain Dubai PCC online.

You only have to declare your education from where you obtained your degree. You will have to put your duration of education in the personal history.

If you are heading back to your home country and you have not yet filed your application, then the country where you work will no longer be your country of residence if you file your application when you are in your home country. The rule regulating PCC is :

• For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country.

Hi legalfalcon,

Hope this message would find you in good shape.

Regarding my Postdoc offer, I have few updates and further questions.

In coming week, I would receive offer letter from University to sign, so far they told me offer would be:

• $55K+Benefits(family insurance, dental)+one-time settlement fund ($3K)+One-way Air-Ticket of me. 2 Year Contract. 20% of research would be carried as an internship in industry partner (I don't know it would be paid or unpaid).Further details would be in offer letter. I hope the package would suffice for the family and would meet living standard. Residence university will not provide perhaps as we haven't discussed this yet. I checked uni website, they don't have residences. In due course, I will cross-check with them.

Based upon your guidance above, I have found so far, that I would be applying for a employer-specific work permit, i.e. Foreign Worker-Mobility Program (Visitor's visa required). As it's LMIA-EXCEPT based offer, hence university will send offer to IRCC first for approval and university offer letter should contain employee ID, I hope my university is aware from this process, else will notify them. I would be applying for my spouse as Open Work Permit and for my 3 yrs son I don't know which type. Correct me, if I am wrong about Open WP for spouse?

Now, following are my questions, I would appreciate, if you please guide me further.

1. How I pursue application of Work Permit? I think it's Online first then approach to embassy/consulate. I will be applying from Italy. Kindly share me the link to apply, I know about EE, as already in pool and have GCKey. If it's online hope would be via GCKey.
2. Do I need Medical for applying work permit? I think yes, if so, then what's the right time for medical? Can I apply for me, and family all together as Upfront Medical to expedite process or I apply first WP first then wait for embassy/consulate instructions. When exactly we need to provide medical report to embassy/consulate? during the process or prior to applying?Although, I do have plan to apply for WP immediately as I would receive offer letter.
3. Do I need Police Clearance Certificate? If I need police certificate, then as I am from Pakistan, I have to get that too, and from Italy it's easy. I can get for all family.
4. Do I need to apply also for eTA? If so, I think they will issue eTA on-time along with WP. No?

So far, I have these questions in my mind, Please need your valuable assistance.

Further, once I get offer letter, will notify you.

Many Thanks!

Hello @legalfalcon

We received GCMS form you and need your expert opinion on few questions, please kindly help.
a) On page 4 of the notes there is mentioned "Counterfoil required: YES" (this is in Client details section), is this normal or something to worry?, what does this means?
b) On page 41 there is something mentioned as "item requested (1)- kit, application form" (in correspondence section). We received no request for anything, what does this means?
c) The most serious question, Eligibility went from "not started" to "calculation in progress" to "review required" and the to "met" on the same day. I am extremely worried that to do all people get this or was the "review required" some anomaly that they checked and then changed to met, is this something to be worried about and take action for??
Like on page 58 of GCMS Eligibility goes as- met, old- review required, old- calculation in progress, old- not started.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION- I have underlined the doubtful and worriesome part in red in the below text, rest all written in black is exactly as from my GCMS. (Though lines do not finsh where they finished in the original, i don't think that'll make a difference lol)
Under Notes 4 at the end under NOTES, on page 75 under the label EE Eligibility,
It says,
Text
REVIEW TYPE: Program assistant APPLICATION #E00000000 REGULATION: FSW I have reviewed this file based on the documents submitted by the applicant and information contained in the file and note the following. MIN SCORE: 415 CRS SCORE: 446 Principal applicant application promoted: Existing UCI Review Notes for representative: Has Representative Rep Number:XYXZX Rep info: John Doe Primary Applicant Medical attached to UCI: Yes Client fees: Verified---- LANGUAGES----- Principal Applicant 1-English-IELTS and Met threshold and Verified----EDUCATION---- Primary Applicant 1 ECA report Verified on issuing agency website; foreign credential conformed on ECA site ECA Canadian Equivalency Summary reported by issuing agency as Bachelor's Degree (Four years) and postgraduate degree (one year) Foreign credential provided----- POLICE CERTIFICATE------ Primary Applicant 1- India police certificate provided R10 OK Recommendation: Review required------ AGE------- Applicants age reviewed and No change from ITA to e-APR Statutory details located in separate GCMS note.
Now my question is what is the meaning of this? Which review is required here? is it R10 or police Certificate or AGE?? This so confusing and worrying!! No commas etc to know which sentence finishes where!! Please help me in this regard its super important!
What should be done to resolve this review, there is nothing else mentioned further about the review AFAIK????




Another Important question regarding Eligibility only, at then end under NOTES and under Notes 1 and EE eligibilty label, under Agent review on page 75 it says- On based of docs provided and information contained in application"A11.2 decision: Met 75(2), FSW Minimum Requirements: Appears met 76(1)(a), Selection criteria FSW points: Appears met FSW points: 69 Comprehensive ranking system at ITA: 446 Current CRS Score:446 I have reviewd information and documents for the CRS points for the following: PA Awarded points as single at ITA and APR PA awarded points for 1 year Foreign work experience with xyz company, PA awarded pints for Bachelor and post grad diploma, Primary NOC: 2122 with xyz company Submitted reference letter confirms applicants employment throughout specified period and describes duties which are consistent with skill level A NOC. Reference letter confirms full time employment. eDoc. 12345678.
Now my question is that is this "apperas to met" the standard way or something is not sure here to them?? and is Met (75) and Met (76) standard and not signify anything specific??


I would highly appreciate inputs and advice.


******At the end there are few questions also mentioned, few are regarding "have you ever applied to IRCC and CIC before" to which answer is displayed as "N", few are regarding representative details and consent, what does these questions signify.
I had a refusal in past for study visa which we had mentioned in the application, but the representative told that to the above questions answer should be No, can this cause a huge issue, if yes then what should be done to immediately resolve this, please help. On the edge, put so much in this and all on risk due to my representative's mistake!

Also under Notes 2 (under label General), ***Agent review*** says Police certificates R10 OK criminality decision passed.
This is dated 14/7/2017 (date NA2 began) and the review required notes are dated 11/7/2017 (date ip1 started), can you please check and share some insight.

You can definitely change your spouse's status from non-accompanying to accompanying. However, it will affect your CRS score as spouse's education and language skills are added. So if that does not affect your CRS you can go ahead and change it, but you will need to justify it in the LoE.

Thanks for the reply @legalfalcon

My wife's ECA report is dated after receiving the ITA, would it be a problem?
