Hi Legalfalcon

I have an urgent query ...Sir what are the possibilities of Review Required for funds for a reason ( same bank letter draft for two different banks)??... Actually i have shown 3 bank letters as pof but 2 letters have same draft which i used and then it was signed by banks. What are the possibilities that it can raise a suspicious point for a fake document presented ?? As my gcms doesnt show any reason of RR as well as funds are sufficient too. How likely is for cic to contact bank? My concern is only about the Indian banking system. I have way to genuine and old funds. The only thing making me concerned that if banks ignore the enquiry or it goes to spam ?? Do they contact the head office or the local branch from which we acquire letter. I heard that they contact head office of bank and their queries are well answered by Indian Banks...I really hope so ...as it can save my file and unnecessary delay also. My funds are genuine and can be verified from any authority anytime..its just that i am afraid that i should not suffer from any ignorance from any entity.
The RR by itself is not a reason to be concerned and neither does it show that there is anything wrong with your documents. The RR in most cases is because you may have shown your PoF in a foreign currency and the analyst has marked it as RR for the officer to have a look and make a determination.

You can show funds in different account, and it does not matter. The PoF lets needs to indicate that your have the funds and that you meet the 6 month average balance requirement.

Hi Legal Falcon,

Someone please explain me what does the CAIPS note actually says. Applied for student visa and got refused.

Note:

1: Source of funds not credible or sufficient to provide for studies in Canada.

But in my case I had more than what they asked for in the IRCC website. What might the reason for my refusal. And I've applied for a three year program. Do they look for whole three year course fees + expense or first year only.

Thank you.
The CAPIS was the name of the older system, which has been replaced by GCMS. The statement merely means that the funds you showed, their source and where they came from could not be verified. If you show recent deposits in your account, that is considered unverifiable. Similarly, if your funds and the source they came from cannot be determined, that too create a suspicion.

The rule is that the funds should be readily available to you and that they should not be borrowed.

Hello @legalfalcon,

My husband and I have applied for PR under the federal skilled worker class on June 29, 2018 (He works in Canada since 2017 and we live in Canada under work visa). The expected date was to hear our results was December 29, 2018 (It has been 13 months since we applied). We requested GCMS notes a couple of months ago but we haven't received them, it is also delayed. Today, we were able to get this update from MP's office:

  • The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and documents submitted to determine if your constituent and their family members meet the eligibility requirements under the class for which they have applied.
  • The medical examination results have expired.
  • The criminality verifications are in process.
  • The security verifications have not been initiated.
  • There is currently no specific timeframe to complete the process of the application. However, rest assured that all efforts are being made to ensure efficient processing of the application.
As far as we understand, a little has been accomplished in 13 months by IRCC. Since our medical exams have expired, do we need to have another exam? I am 4 months pregnant now and from what we understand from your previous responses, we don't need to notify IRCC about my pregnancy. However, if they ask for another exam, does my pregnancy complicate the process? If you can suggest anything for us to fasten our application process, we really appreciate it. We feel like they just forgot our application and it will take forever. Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Your security in your gcms note is saying not started because your note was generated about a month ago. Between then and now a lot could have happened.

In May when I called cic it was said security check is in progress for my spouse but now it says nothing in GCMS. Do you know hoe long it take for security check and what is the meaning of file location review for PS?

Anyway thank for your reply.

Hi Legal Falcon,

Funds which I showed had more than one year history and I clearly mentioned them that the funds are sponsored by parents. And provided them the source as well.

I have no idea whats wrong.

Appreciate your kind help.

Thank you.

Nothing to worry, if the reason for refusal was not criminality or med ground he need not worry about it

HI Legal Falcon,

I had received my notes today and the following statement was under description in Medicals "Has a condition that might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services to such an extent that the applicant is inadmissable under section 38(1)
S Profile 2.02
Description: Inactive Tuberculosis
MOF rationale exisits : YES

Can you please let me know what does this mean ? Will they give us a Surveillance once we land in Canada or is it decided that we are inadmissable ?
