Dear legal falcon, I received message in my cic account with subject line “ how to find a job in Canada “ when I read it it says about ways to find about Job Search n life in Canada etc . My BG is NA and I am may 24 AOR


That message is just a marketing tool, and has no bearing on your application.
All EE applications go through the following stages:

R10
Medicals
Criminality
Eligibility
Security

Hi Legal falcon, I received my GCMS notes today. I was reading through the notes, and I found that the agent is not recognizing three of my work experiences because the letters are not dated. Hence, unable to verify declare work period. This has decreased my CRS score below the threshold of my draw. I have reviewed the letters I submitted again, and they include everything they asked for in the website (letters being dated is not mentioned). I submitted me APR on September 12th, and the note I'm talking about is created on October, 3rd. And the most recent note there is on October 17th, and it's about receiving documents they requested from me.

What should I do? Should I ask my previous employers for new dated letters and submit them? Should I submit copies of the my emails during that period?
I have attached the agent's notes on the GCMS to this link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zyr1xst7buw7a12/AADsTkznrsURLpYhbxio_DaAa?dl=0


No official documentation is ever released undated. If it is undated, then it is considered fraudulent. I would suggest that you immediately obtain new references letters with the dates and update them via CSE and also explain that it was an inadvertent error that the letters were released undated.

Do it ASAP.

Hi all,

i have got nominated from Nova scotia PNP under Demand express entry stream and received ITA in the NOC Admin assist. In my PCC my profession mentioned as HOUSE WIFE as i am under my husband sponsorship in UAE. how can i deal with this difference?

Are you claiming points for any work you are currently doing. If not, then no need to worry. Just explain it in LoE.
 
Hi @legalfalcon
My Aor is 30/03/2017, file at ndvo and almost been three months absolutely no communication from ircc since aor.
I had requested gcms for the third time after knowing the file is at ndvo. Ie a month post transfer to ndvo. The notes are delayed and don't know when I will get them.
My question here is do you see a trend in delayed notes if the file is not worked upon or is stuck at local visa office.?
Who is responsible for generating notes if the file is at ndvo.
My mails to ndvo are unanswered and cse raised didn't help much.

What should I do to expedite processing.?
 
Well it depends on which those countries are and how long it takes to get the PCC. For eg. if one needs to get a FBI PCC, its takes almost 3-4 months, so it is advisable to start early. But some countries the PCC only takes a week or 2 weeks, in that case you can wait. A detailed procedure for each country and how to obtain PCC is given on the CIC website <http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp>.

Which two countries you are looking at, plan it accordingly.

Hi, legalfalcon! Thanks for being present in this era! I am curious of what happens if I leave my LMIA supported job a few weeks after the eAPR of my CEC EE. Let’s say my ITA was possible because of LMIA’s extra 50points. Ive heard that my account should be lovked up after AOR. But loosing a LMIA right after AOR job sounds like a risk move to me. Will my points be taken away and my application withdrawn?

Best,
 
Hi,

I asked information about my file and got the reply below! Is this means I am in security screening?

Your file is currently under review and requires additional verifications. As a result, the assessment period will be outside of our posted processing times.



Unfortunately at this time we are not able to determine when your application will be finalized, but our office will contact you as soon as all verifications are completed, or if any additional information or documents are required.


We appreciate your patience and ask that you keep correspondence with our office to a minimum.
 
Hi Legal,
I got the Procedural Fairness letter few days ago. They are asking me to provide any additional information/documentation. When I clicked on "ViewMySubmitted" documents, they allowed me to upload "Proof Of Income" , "Proof Of Fund" and "LOE".

Now my question is, For howmany month's Paystub should I upload ? I have an experience in one company from Sep 2014 to May 2016. I also have another 3 months experience in another company. So Total 24 months of experience. I have all the Paystubs with me but the problem is the "Uploading File Size Limit" . So is it ok if I submit first 12 months paystubs for ABC company and 3 months Paystub for XYZ company ????????
 
Hey I posted this in another thread but I would like your advice:

I just received a medical request for my wife to complete on 1017 form. When I checked my profile, there is a section for supporting documents for her but no upload button or new row to add any documents, which i found strange. What should I do in order to add this document to my file?

Hi @legalfalcon,
As always thank you very much for all your help, its greatly appreciated.

I have recently gotten the request for my passport, however on the e-mail they only gave the Canadian address or US and as a side note they mention to e-mail them if you need a change of visa office. I emailed them 2 days ago with this as a title "Mailing Address outside Canada(Ready for Visa CPCO) - CEC PR Applicant my number - my name" as well as all my information enclosed in the email (UCI, name, current country of residence, type of application etc). The only thing i noticed I missed was the birth date. I don't know if I should e-mail again with the same information but in addition put the birth date. The automatic email I got after sending the local visa change mentioned the birth date but i'm not sure if it applies to my case as well?
Also, for a local visa office change do they really take 20 days? Just wondering since I got 30 days to submit passport and I worry about that.

Any advice is greatly appreciated :).
Happy Holidays
 
Hello legalfalcon ,
This is my first message on this forum, and I sure that you help me with this:
My application is stucked in IP1 since December, 18. Here is the whole situation
1-Application sent December, 5
2-Medical passed December, 18
3-Background status changed to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check" in December,18

In December, 19 I found out that I only submitted certified copies + Translation+the translator's affidavit, I went and raised a CSE, explained the situation and uploaded the scanned copies of the originals. I even called CIC call center right away, and the operator told me that she would put a note on my file to the officer that way he would notice that I have uploaded the original copies just to avoid any rejection in completeness check phase (R10).

Since then my Background status is still showing "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check"
My friend passed medical, completeness check and criminality in one day (December 22), and he is now in NA2.

In your opinion, is there anything to worry about at this time ?, and if so, what could be the reason lying behind this.
I have read in some threads that some candidates have the same situation until they got passport request.

Here is my application details for your reference:
Application status We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents We do not need additional documents.
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Thank you legalfalcon for your time and help.

Dear @legalfalcon I have submitted a letter of explanation for not being able to get a police certificate from UAE as I was on visit visa. I wanted to know from your vast experience, do you know of any EE applications that were approved without providing one police clearance certificate by the principal applicant? I am just worried about my application. Thanks for your help!
