Hello sir.. I have a question and I feel you would satisfy my query . In my gcms notes my file was approved on 29 April 2020. Passed my re medical on 22 January 2021. No PPR yet . But I have a family emergency so I have to withdraw some amount from my bank account. Would it affect my PPR ??? After a month I will put that amount again ...plz let me know..

Ideally, you have to meet the PoF, when you apply as well as when you land in Canada. If you have an emergency you can withdraw your funds and deposit them back as soon as possible. If IRCC asks for an updated PoF, you can explain the situation.

To read on PoF, see https://bit.ly/3mCZ8kP

@legalfalcon sir, I have question regarding applications approved in GCMS notes. Since many applicants haven’t received PPR but their COPR expired as per notes. I saw a post about application going from approved to unapproved in notes. Are these files reopened again?? What does it mean by final review again, does it mean whole process including eligibility is done again??

IRCC is not issuing COPR / PPR because fo this reason. When a COPR / PPR is issued, the file is closed. If the COPR expires, then it has to be reopened and a final review has to be done again. During the final review it ensured that all documents are valid, and not expired.

Approved to unapproved is just a changed official status and nothing more. The eligibility is not reviewed again again, however, it is at the discretion of the officer to ask for review PoF.

It was in whatsapp group. Someone shared screenshot of GCMS notes, where the latest note was “ ***officer review***-COPR’s expired and cancelled. File is unapproved. “

@legalfalcon ..I have received a notice yesterday from IRCC asking to confirm on below. My AoR Oct 12, 2019.. assessment passed on May 1, 2020 no updates after.. medical expired.

"Please provide an updated residential address for yourself and any
dependent in order to continue the processing of your application for Permanent Residence"


Is submitting driving license/ bank statement is good enough?
For spouse/dependents.. There's no specific address proof. What's your suggestion for them?

Asking this info is good sign?


Thanks,
Siva

They are only asking you to confirm your address, there is no requirements for any proof.

This is usually sent to ensure that the applicant and all dependents are in Canada, and that the COPR can be sent.

You cannot add a baby until it is born. Legally, an unborn child is not considered a legal entity. If you want to travel before your child is born, you can do so and if your child is born in Canada, the child will be a citizen by birth. If you want to wait until after your baby is born, you can inform IRCC and an extension will be given. I your case since you have not yet received a decision, you can inform IRCC after the birth of your child.

Once your baby is born, you can submit the documents for you baby, the documents will be processed and once done, COPR will be issued to all individuals in the application.

Hi sir, i am a cec applicant with outland minor dependent. My aor is oct 2019 and everything passed since march 2020 based from my calls to ircc.But our medicals already expired last oct 2020 but no request for re medical yet. The last update i got was last yr march 2020 wherein they asked to confirm my dependent’s address. Nothing after that. Now that my BOWP will expire on october 2021, am i able to apply a study permit for my son when I renew the bowp? Also do security and criminality checks expire after u passed it? Im just concerned that my application is taking too long to process and they might have to do all background checks again. Thanks a lot

If your medicals have expired, they may have already been extended. You can IRCC and find our or send a webform. Here is my post on medicals:

#13,193

If your BOPW is expiring you can seek an extension. The study permit for your son will be a separate application and will be processed on its own merits.

See #5,214

Security screening and criminality does have a shelf life, just that in the manual it has been redacted, so we are unclear what the duration is. Since security screening is a time consuming process, and takes a long time, once done, redoing it, logically won't make any sense unless the individual parameters of an application mandate it. This is my opinion.

Since the procedure for the security screening information is not disclosed, and what ever is disclosed is available at https://bit.ly/3apWglN which also has the security screening manual.

Just like medicals and criminality, security also has a shelf life. Since it is not disclosed, we cannot speculate how long it is. Also, security is based on multiple parameters and with COVID, lot of internal policy directives have be issued, such as extending medicals, and the same should be for security and criminality too.
