@caipsnotes

On page 2 under the assesments, it says Assigned to: RC 6100 , Assigned by: LJ9131

Is RC-6100 the officer's code? Any idea on this

You can see also the RC codes here http://bit.ly/3r5iqQj

 

[caipsnotes]

Thanks. Also can you please clarify what’s Review Required: Triage factor

All elements like R78,79 are marked as MET by case processing agent. But it says Review Required: Triage Factor

Any idea on this pls

This document from 2017 mentions of triage, just search

March is Fraud month

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is a privacy law that protects the personal information of Canadians.

PIPEDA has been found to apply to an organization based abroad where there is a “real and substantial” connection between its activities and Canada.

Relevant factors in determining whether a “real and substantial” connection to Canada exists can include whether a business markets its products or services to Canadians, whether it processes the personal information of Canadians, and whether any misuse or disclosure of personal information would have an impact on Canadians.

Beware of claims being made that PIPEDA does not apply to organizations based abroad

Query regarding claiming sibling points.
@legalfalcon

I got PNP ITA last week @ 1065 CRS including 15 sibling points for real brother based in Canada.
My surname on all documents is mentioned as “Rajan Kapoor” and Parents name on my passport is written as “Vinod Kumar Kapoor” and “Sunita Kapoor”.
Name on parents respective passport is “Vinod Kumar Kapoor” and “Sunita Kapoor”.
But my brother spells his name as “Rahul Kapur” on all his documents and parents name on brother passport is written as “Vinod Kapur” and “Sunita Kapur”.

What supporting document I need to upload in order in respect to justify to IRCC that we are real brothers?

You can only claim points for sibling or PNP. So first make sure you have to upload the relationship documents.

If you do, then you have to show common parents, which can be done by passport / birth certificate, and the status of your sibling.

If the names of your parents are different, you can submit a same name affidavit.

Finally If nothing works, then you can get a DNA test done. See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/standard-requirements/dna-testing.html

Hello @legalfalcon
I know you are busy but you are the only one who I can trust and I do need your help!

I have some questions and it would be appreciated if you can help me with them.

-1- Since my medicals were about to get expired, I did a new upfront medical exam and send it to IRCC two months ago (although IRCC didn’t ask for it). When I called IRCC few days back, they told me that I don't have to worry, the officer will either extend my medicals or look at my new submitted one. What I need to know, what happens to my new submitted medical exam the moment my clinic send it to IRCC. Will the medical department of IRCC review my results, then send the results to the officer responsible for my file? Or the medical department will not review automatically my upfront medical they received unless they get a request from my officer to do so?

-2- My application was approved three months before my medicals were about to expire, and at the time of approval, I can see no medical re-assessment request to extend my medicals. When usually officers request a re-assessment of my medicals, before when of my medical expiry?

-3- When a medical re-assessment request is made by an officer, how long does it takes to get extended?

-4- Although I submitted a new upfront medical exam, IRCC agents told me that the officer may not look at it and just extend my old one. How likely that to happen? Is extending my old one requires less effort and time from IRCC than reviewing an entirely new medical? Why would he choose an extension rather reviewing a new one?

I know that I am asking a lot and thanks a lot for your understanding.

1. All medical reports transmitted by panel physicians go to the IRCC Health Branch, where they are assessed and a code is given. See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/standard-requirements/medical-requirements/assessing/medical-assessment-coding.html

This assessment is then available in the system and the officer will update it in and this will extend you medicals by another year.

2. There is no specific date. But if your medicals are expiring or have expired, the officer will send them for re-assesment. It will depend on when the officer reviews your file.

3. It is fairly quick, but currently there are backlogs with the health branch. This is the latest info:


Requests for additional documents on open applications
Until further notice, offices may continue to request any necessary additional documents or impose regulatory requirements for processing in relation to all citizenship and immigration applications, including police certificates, passports and medical examinations, as follows:

• When additional documentation is required to make a decision on the application, processing officers should send a request letter and allow 90 days for the applicant to respond.
• If a request for additional documentation was previously sent but the applicant was unable to comply within the deadline, processing officers should bring forward the application and allow an additional 90 days for the applicant to respond.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/coronavirus/general-measures.html

4. YEs, extending an old one is much faster as it already has an assessment.


But if you have sent new medicals, no need to be concerned, you will soon see an update in your MyCIC account.

Hi @legalfalcon,
I have a question, and hopefully, you will have time to help me.
My AOR is September 19, 2020. I am an international student living in Canada for three years with my husband, working in Canada for 2.5 years on open work permit. I am a teaching assistant at the university for 3 years too.
We submitted our application with 8k cash in our bank account as POF. In LOE, I attached all of the documents about our jobs (proof of employment and job offer for my husband for the next year), our belongings in Canada (credit cards, a car, etc.) and our tax returns for the last three years.
The GCMS note I received 2 weeks ago shows our eligibility as "Review Required."
Now I have two questions:
- Is there any possibility that we get rejected because of this? After waiting for more than 6 months?
- What can I do now to speed up my application processes or solve this issue?
Thank you.

First of all, you have to find what the RR is for. Is it just a generic response or anything in particular.
I had an old post on RR, re-posting it here.


Understanding “Review Required”

A lot of applicants see “review required” in their GCMS notes for eligibility. There are many theories floating around with regard to what “review required” means and if it is alarming.

Before I venture into explaining the significance, it is important to understand that each application goes through the following stages as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations (Canadian Immigration Law):

R10 – Completeness Check
Criminality
Medicals
A11.2 – eligibility
Security

Out of the above, the most important stage is eligibility. This is also the most time-consuming stage because your documents have to be verified, evaluated and assessed to ascertain that you meet the eligibility criteria for the program you have applied (FSW / CEC / FTW). To stream line this process and make it easier for an immigration officer (decision making authority), all applications are first evaluated by case analysts or program assistants. They review the documents and summarize it in the GCMS. If they have any concerns with any document or want the immigration officer to carefully look into a specific document, they will flag it as “review required.” It is the content of the note that is important here. If the review required is for a specific document, while the summary of the note says that an applicant has met the eligibility, or “ready to finalize” it simply means that while the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, but the specific document needs a careful examination form the officer before promoting (eligibility pass) by the officer.

However, if there are concerns, there will be a review required for the eligibility, and there will be no text to the effect “ready to finalize” or pass. The note will specifically state job duties do not match, or the employment cannot be verified, or the number of years of work experience claimed cannot be verified. This is where an application can land in muddy waters. But the final decision rests on the immigration officer. He may override the decision of the analyst / assistant or go with the analysis of the analyst / assistant.

Even in cases where the analyst / assistant is of the opinion that the applicant has met the eligibility, and there is no “review required,” the officer can replace it with his own opinion. Though rare, but it does happen. This is why the eligibility is only passed when an officer conclusively marks the eligibility as passed.

Finally, there is “review required” for PoF. This is the most common in many applications. This is because, the financial and banking practices of each country are different. Eg. Fixed deposits are know as Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the US. Similarly, treasury bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and many other investment vehicles are there. If your PoF anything other than a bank deposit, it is more likely that it will be marked as “review required.” Also, IRCC does not go by day to day fluctuations in FOREX. Instead, the Canadian federal government issued a quarterly conversion rate for all FOREX vis-a-via CAD. If your PoF is in a foreign currency, then you may have “review required” for the officer to make a determination.

Just because you have “review required” does not mean that you hit the panic mode. Instead, read the context in which it is there. If there is a concern regarding a document, you can send a replacement document via CSE. The most common reasons for RR are:

1. Work reference letter without job duties
2. Work reference letters missing all the details requested by IRCC
3. If you submitted a letter from a colleague because you were unable to get one from your employer, but did not have a LoE on file, this too will lead to RR.
4. Not sufficient work experience in the primary NOC.
5. Inability to verify your employment as your employer details are missing.

There are just some of the scenarios.

_________________________________________________________________________________

A RR by itself does not mean there is anything wrong with your application or it will be rejected. It could just be a generic review required indicating that an officer review the documents before making a final determination on your eligibility.

As regards expediting the processing, unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to expedite the process. You will have to be patient and wait.

Hopefully, it is just a review.

Hello

As per GCMS note of November 2020
I have passed my
Eligibility and Criminality.
Info sharing : Completed
Medical : Not Started
Security : Not Started

I am on family sponsorship visa, my first cousin have sponsor me but she told me that in May 2021 they will moved from Monitoba and I am worried.

Does that cause problem to me ?

Please guide me what should I do ?

You will have to notify Manitoba Immigration of any changes. Your cousin signed a form that the family would be there to see you settled in the province. The whole point of the program is for family to be living in Manitoba when you arrive. Your cousin and you signed agreements that you would notify them of any changes.

How can I know if the health branch had assessed my newly submitted medical exam? To whom I should contact?

Thanks a lot!!
