Thanks again for your response! Just one last question, does it matter if we send it by regular post or Xpress post? They don't specify anything about that nor to they mention any envelope specifications like they do for work permits or TRV etc.
I did express post, it was delivered after 4 days. It doesn't matter which one you use to send it.

@legalfalcon @caipsnotes
Finally, I received my notes through the privacy act this Tuesday.. thank you so much guys for assisting me during the process.
I want to share the notes description as well..
In assessments the eligibility is passed, security not started...
In the notes section(note 3) ... case agent has kept the crs points same and said A11.2 met and ready to finalize....
However, I sent a couple of updates through the web forum the after the aor ....
In May, I sent a loe and imm5669e as I did not mention my part time jobs during school in 10 year history, later I read stuff got scared and thought I should inform them .. (just got paranoid)
2 months back I informed them about my new employment.. as I thought it would give a better impression that I’m working in my primary occupation as I was laid off during the submission of my e-apr.
Both of these have respective note no. and info received LOE/update employment **Review Required**
Im pretty sure that it’s just to review the information I sent and not a problem, just wanted to confirm it with you experts ..
cheers

Anybody else got a bunch of hyperlinks in their application profile?

My "Applicant Information" section is all a bunch of hyperlinks and when you click on it, you're redirected to an error page. Haven't gotten any updates since this happened a couple of weeks ago, even though my LVO already sent me my PPR.

Good day, everyone!
I received reply from IRCC for my question of approval sent via Webform. It says following:
"We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible; however, processing times are affected and any disruptions caused by COVID-19 may not be reflected accurately on our website. We will make all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible.
Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed."

However as per my GCMS notes my case was already approved, even COPR and Counterfoil were generated more than 1 months ago.
"ASSESSMENTS
Eligibility: Passed Security:
HIRV:
Criminality:
Passed Org Crime:
Medical: Passed Misrepresentation:
Info Sharing: Complete
Other Reqs:
Final: Approved"

I am a bit confused why as per agent who replied to my Webform question my application is yet to be finalized, but GCMS notes states opposite. Anyone has similar experience ?
Thank you in advance!

The BGC = Criminality + Security.

The criminality is passed early in the process and security only is initiated after the eligibility is passed.
Hi @legalfalcon,

When I called the agent yesterday, she said that my eligibility and medical were passed, the biometrics was complete, the criminality was in progress and the security didn’t start yet.

Does this mean the elligibility was passed by an analyst or an officer?

I also have this problem. Two weeks ago I see this hyperlink.

Both the documents you sent were irrelevant. In the work history you only have to list employment for which you are claiming points. If you are not claiming point for a job, then it is not required to list them in the work history.

For all other activities, they have to be listed in personal history.

Your application is locked on the day you submit the application and any subsequent changes have no effect. Also, there is no such thing s a "better impression." You either meet the eligibility criteria or not.

Why ever additional documents you submitted with be reviewed by the officer and a decision will be made accordingly.

Most likely an analyst as after the eligibility is conclusively passed, the security is initiated.

In the amendment, I wrote that I did not mention these jobs in my 10 year personal history ... I did not mention that I want to add these in my work history ... it’s just that I mentioned my part time jobs while filing my work permit .. and I thought it would be better to send a webform because if they check they might see a difference...

Hi @legalfalcon and @caipsnotes , sorry to bother you again.

I am biometrics exempt (FSW Inland, AOR 6th April) and my biometrics was mentioned as submitted on 15th Oct. but at the same time my medical changed from "passed" to "you don't need a medical, we will inform you if this changes"

I checked and my medical was valid till 27th Sept. although in my GCMS notes received on 30th Sept. it stated that medical passed.

I also want to inform you that I made a trip to my home (India) from 10th Oct. to 28th Oct.

Looking at this timeline can you please suggest if this will cause delays in getting my COPR. Can I do something to speed up the processing like doing my medical again or raise any webform.

I am asking this question as a lot of people have the same thing happening with their medical. Thanks for you help!
This will not cause any delays. About medicals, IRCC can either extend the medicals or request for another medical examination. This is at IRCC's discretion. However, you can send a web form (CSE) and request for your medical to be extended. Based on the latest stats below your application is on track and there is not much one can do to expedite the process.
