@legalfalcon may I ask for your assistance on this. I received my GCMS and it says

1. my primary office is CIO and secondary is CPC Ottawa, so whose going to further process the application then?

2. And what's PV2 in category section?

3. Last February 2020 a notes was made my case processing agent and he wrote appears to met all. The latest notes was July 2020 but only shows they had some errors of mixing the payments from other applicants without placing any notes on the exact status of my application (disappointing)

4. Is the assessment section on the 1st page tells the exact status of application? Still eligibility met, criminality in progress and security not started.

5. When I checked the other pages in between, i saw my criminality was passed last January 2020 but my spouse criminality haven't started yet that time. So this means that criminality in progress is attributed to my spouse's case?

5. My eligibility is met since February by case processing agent, does it mean a higher officer needs to review it again for it to be passed and triggered security check?

So frustrating 10 months waiting but no progress.

• Visa Office

There has been an obsession of finding which visa office the application is at. Many threads on this forum start with explaining how to find your visa office. Let's get to the crux of it. Finding the visa office was very relevant pre- express entry. Even after the introduction of express entry in 2015, the same practice was followed which usually was for the paper based application, but that is no longer the case. Earlier all application followed the following trajectory:

Central Intake Office - Case Processing Centre - Local Visa Office

However, this has radically changed and for all express entry, all application follow the following:

1. Central Intake Office - The R10 (completeness check) is done at the Central Intake Office for all classes (FSW / PNP / CEC). Now even the criminality and medicals are done at CIO.

2. Case Processing Centre - These are 4 CPCs in Canada

CPC in Edmonton
CPC in Mississauga
CPC and CIO in Sydney
CPC in Ottawa
OSC in Ottawa
The Operations Support Centre (OSC) processes the following applications:

International Experience Canada work permits
In-Canada temporary resident applications submitted online
Verification of Status (VOS)
Replacement of valid temporary resident documents
Amendment of immigration documents and of valid temporary resident documents


Local Visa Office - This is the office where you will be asked to submit your passport after your application has been approved. Usually the consulate in your home country.

These days all application after starting at CIO (where R10 is met), either start the processing of eligibility at CIO itself, or move to CPC (wither Ottawa, Sydney, or Vegreville), or are straight sent to the LVO. The trend has been to complete most of the processing between CIO and CPC. Since the applications are electronically stored, there is no movement of physical files.

SUGGESTION - There is no point sending emails to ask which VO your application is at, as that process is moot since the eligibility can even start at CIO. So save yourself some time and efforts and also save the human resources of IRCC and stop sending emails. Even if you know which VO your application is at, it means nothing. Most applications which are processed within weeks and get PPR, are processed at CIO, and this is a much faster way.

A few applications will see eligibility passed, and then go to not started when the application is sent to the LVO. This is because the final review is done at the LVO, and the local agent may decide to conduct additional review, or identification before the eligibility is finally set to PASSED.

2. PV2 Provincial nominee processed abroad

4. The assessment on page 2 has to be read along with the notes in the last 2-5 pages to know the exact stage of your application. See #2,521

5. YEs. All individuals have to be assessed for criminality

6. YEs. After the review by a CPA, an officer has to make a final determination. See my post on it, link provided above.

@legalfalcon , hi, may I ask you 2 questions?
1. What is the meaning of "PreVU"? I got it from my last GCMS.
2. My last GCMS said: my finger printings are really bad, I think maybe it is why my criminality is still in process, should I give them my fingerprints again?
Many thanks in advance!

Dear @legalfalcon I have been raising/ sending several web forms and email to IRCC for getting an exemption from the current restrictions on compassionate ground as my girlfriend is in Canada on Work Permit & needs someone to assist her as she is not keeping healthy. Now they have sent me few forms to fill so that they can check the eligibility out of which one pdf says "letter of required support Request for Exemption on Compassionate Grounds" which has to be signed by a medical professional now I just wanna confirm whether the signing doctor has to be from Canada or India. Although, it should be from Canada as my girlfriend has to get it signed on the basis of her medical problems but still I want to be double sure. TIA

It has to be signed by a doctor in Canada, by the person who needs medical assistance's doctor. The doctor has to provide their MINC number, i.e.
Medical Council of Canada number.

I logged in on my application today. Since yesterday I am able to click on my application information"area. but when I clock it it says Error 405. Ï remember before there was no Hyperlink in that area. Does this mean something?

Congratulations for the newborn.

1. If you previous PoF meets the requirements, which now includes the baby, then you do not have to provide a new PoF, if not, then you have to send a revised PoF.

2. Yes, if you see the UCI, then the baby has been added to the application.

Thank You for the wishes and your swift reply.....

YEs, you have to send a revised PoF for a family of 3, unless you are exempt if you are working in Canada or have a job offer.

OK.
I have already submitted my profile and now I have cannot find any column to upload my POF in the document submitted by client section.So could you please suggest me the way to upload any other documents like POF in the already submitted profile?

Well, they're talking about sending multiple emails with info for extended family reunion applicants. I have sent them webform on weekly basis and have ordered GCMS notes every month since last June since they didn't bother to keep me updated.

You can send a followup message for your GCMS notes if you haven't received them for more than 40 days.
