So that means my R10, medical and criminality are completed but eligibility and security are pending?
Your R10 should be, bt criminality may be in progress. For medicals, see what your MyCIC status says.

Also see the last few pages of your GCMS notes, your answers will be there.

If you are a FSW (outland) or PNP (outland) then the security willl begin only after eligibility. When IRCC refers to BGC, they include criminality and FOSS check in it, which happens during criminality.

The sequence is:

R10
Medicals
Criminality
Eligibility
Security

To read more on these see :https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/
I'm actually a FSW (Inland) with AOR of 15 May. I know that Criminality was cleared two months ago. The first time called IRCC the agent told me security check started after criminality. One month later they said it didn't start yet.

So does the security start right after AOR for inland applications or at a different stage?

Thank you.

Hi @legalfalcon Thanks for your reply. I am about to create my EE profile soon and would like to take your views before filling my details.

(Expected CRS score : 453, CLB 9, WES Equivalent : Master's)

My Employment snapshot before i ask my questions :

1) October 1st 2008 to September 15th 2009 -- Programmer Analyst (2174 Skill A)
2) September 20th 2010 to Jan 18th 2011 -- Software Tester (2283 Skill B)
3) September 13th 2011 to March 11th 2014 -- Process Developer (2282 Skill B)
4) August 15th 2014 to March 15th 2016 -- Programmer Analyst (2174 Skill A)
5) April 1st 2017 to Jan 31st 2018 -- Programmer Analyst (2174 Skill A)
6) February 1st 2018 to till date -- Data Manager (2281 Skill B)

My questions are :

1) Regarding my 1st employment, i don't have any reference letter from my employer. Just have my H-1B approval Copy, last 3 pay slips and tax returns. I only have start date, end date and title mentioned in my employer letter. My company is refusing to give me a letter now. My friend who joined with me and and worked till last year is ready to give reference letter affidavit for me. He is willing to give his last pay slip and employment experience letter. Now i worked in 2 locations, 4 months in Houston TX and rest 7.5 months in Chicago. My employer is based in Virginia and has also a branch in Chicago. All my payslips were run in Illinois state (Chicago). Which address should i key in, if i worked at multiple locations and should i go with multiple entries? What should i mention in address history, i want to avoid a location conflict in my profile.

2) Regarding my 3rd employment, i do not have a employment reference letter, but have a relieving letter. However i have all my pay slips, tax returns, provident fund documents, salary appraisals, official email conversation with HR denying job duties due to company policy and also have the same typed on a official letter head. My relieving letter has my start & end date, designation, employee ID, COE, hours worked etc. My senior manager who has witnessed my duties closely is willing to give me notarised affidavit mentioning my job duties and he is going to provide his latest pay slip business card, ID card and computer generated employment letter to confirm his working. My question is can i use this experience as my primary NOC since it covers 30 months, though i don't have a reference letter? My main concern is regarding my 4th employment.


3) This is regarding my 4th employment which was in USA. I Came to US on a H-1B visa on April 1st 2014, i could not get a project till August 15th, 2014. I did not get paid for this period. My employer did provide me a reference letter, which has my start date as Aug 15th instead of April 1st. What date should i mention in my EE profile as my start date? If i go with my employer reference letter and keep my start date as August 15th, can i mention in personal/address history that i still was with same employer and was seeking consulting jobs or took vacation for the 4.5 months gap (April 1st to August 14th)? Also my end date is listed as 15th March 2016, but i was still part of company and did not get paid for 5 months more. I left on my own back to home before my I-94 expiry. Whether this will come under overstay in US or not, i am not sure. Will there be a date conflict and misrepresentation problem? How do i tackle this problem? Also for the entire period, my payslips and tax returns were run in Michigan state, i did consulting work and frequently visited New jersey often. Since i am going to mention the work location state as Michigan, how can i manage address history?

4) Is it good to mention my complete employment details in work history, or move some of them to personal history when you already meet the minimum score requirements. My 2nd, 5th and 6th employments are fine and i have all the reference letters. There is some complexity involved like the above three, will i be rejected if any one of my employment details is not to their satisfaction, even if i meet the minimum requirement through other employments?



Thanks a lot! Sorry for the long post. Please help me with your opinion. I am very much worried how to proceed forward.

Your R10 should be, bt criminality may be in progress. For medicals, see what your MyCIC status says.

Also see the last few pages of your GCMS notes, your answers will be there.
The last note entry was on 7th of Aug, the same date that I requested the GCMS notes. So in this last notes the label says eligibility and they have basically pulled out all mine and my wife's online profiles such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and so many other accounts. Is this normal? Also, the previous notes are the following labels: Eligibility (Checking of IELTS documents), Adm/criminality, General (Marriage certificate), and EE eligibility

Hello @legalfalcon
Thank you in advance for your support and I really hope you can give some advice on my situation.

I have a bit of a problem with the timeline of my express entry profile submission. I will give a quick summery of my case
--> I started full time work on November 1st, 2017
---> I have done IELTS and checked my CRS score which is above 460 so I think I will get an invitation on the first round (I hope at least)
---> Fastest I can submit my EE profile is on November 1st (to fulfill 1 year experience)
---> Going by the current trend, the draw I will fall on will be on November 14th. (calculating every two weeks for an EE profile draw)

---> My work permit ends on November 20th 2018

Which leaves me with 6 days to submit all the required paper work (if I get invited in November 14th) and also apply for a bridging work permit.

Now, the time line is really tight and I am very nervous because so many things can go wrong. I am planning to get an upfront medical exam in October so that I will have that ready and police clearance from my country as well.

Do you have any advice on what to do?

You can do it either way. The point here is that you cannot have more than 1 profile when you file your application. So you can go with your second profile, submit your application, and the same day you can delete your first profile.

No need to be too stressed about it.
Hi legalfalcon,
Thanks so much for all your help and support.

As a safety net, answer yes and describe it in LoE. Alos along with your passport, upload your EAD - employment authorization.

1. No, as previously mentioned, you only have to show your legal status on the day your file your application.

2. Both.

I truly Thank you sir for giving us response with your valuable information

Wait for another 3 weeks before you request another set of GCMS notes. Always make sure you have enough room between two requests.
Thank you highly appreciate your support

Hi @legalfalcon

I just got my ITA and I was doing the eAPR and had a critical question.
Personal activities came with my educational history which says 2007-2015.

Between those years, I have taken 4 years off because i had to serve army and wanted to work abroad.
Is this OK to be overlapped? if it has to be broken down.. how should it be broken down? it's asking me for the degree awarded and such.. I don't think it is meant to be broken down?

for example..

2007.01-2015.01 XXX university
2009.01-2010.01 Work in A company
2010.01-2012.01 Army in XXX country
2012.01-2013.01 Work in B company

Does this make sense? Thank you!

Thank you.
For inland applicants, the process is slightly different since the inland applicants have to submit the RCMP PCC, when requested by IRCC. The RCMS PCC is taken into account when the security starts, but since it is a part of criminality, the criminality may be set to not started, or in progress, after the foreign PCCs are reviewed.
