Just spoke to a CIC agent.. very receptive and polite, I must say.

1. Asked about status of doc uploaded proactively through webform. He told me that it is yet to be added to my file.
2. Asked about eligibility status. He said its updated as eligibility met and that it would need oversight of another office to change this to eligibility passed
3. Current VO is CPC Ottawa.

Anyone else heard of this eligibility status and what I could possibly expect or how soon I could expect some progress ?

Eligibility goes through 2 checks, one by case analyst(junior) and another by case officer (Senior). Analyst can only recommend and it's case officer who makes it final. It's a good sign if it is Met for you.

Nope, it totaly depends on how quickly they do the background checks for you. Since your file is stil at Ottawa, looks like it it yet to be assigned to LVO. Did you ask if Ottawa is your LVO?

I had the same status last week when I called. They didn't specify if the application would move to LVO. They only mentioned that 'third party partners' would carry out background checks next.

Again.. wrong forum buddy.. please join other groups discussing pre ITA topics.. but yes you would need to mention your legal name change scenario..
I would explain the scenario in an LOE and with an affidavit but do I have to choose yes in the field where it asks if I have ever used any other name

Because I just added my surname so shall I mark it as no and explain in LOE

And I have revived ITA :)

No I did not..!

So next step for me is background check? And does this check always happen at a LVO? Had I known this, I would have specifically asked if BGC has already started for me at CPC Ottawa..!
I thought eligibility first would have to be passed for background check to start..! :eek:

Thanks for the response..!
I did not know that background check would start before eligibility check is PASSED..! Good to know.. :)
Guess it could only be better for some part of eligibility check and background check to happen in parallel.. would save time I guess. Please tell me if I am wrong.

Again there are no consistencies or patterns which holds true for all. Would be wise not to speculate.

There is not set procedure it seems. Convention (if any exists) says that after eligibility met, it goes for BG check as service agent said. Perhaps, an officer at the end go through all the recommendations (including eligibility) on the application before giving a final green flag. Eligibility status only changes on profile in the end, not before (so could be anywhere in the process). What matters is recommendation 'met' as most likely officer will follow that recommendation. Hope this helps but I am not expert as in the same boat as you.
