Hello Kazem,

It is not good to see that SS takes that long time. Did you get notes? how do you know that you are in SS? Did you email LVO, what they have to say?
Please let me know so we can learn.

Thanks
Hey, yes I got my GCMS and they stated security screening pretty clearly. And yes, it sucks but what can you do...?

Thanks for your reply.

If they come with me for soft landing in Canada, will the authorities think that i am trying to fool them by taking non accompanying dependents during landing. Will they think that the dependents will not return and deny PR for me for misrepresentation?
@legalfalcon Can you please help on this?

Hi,@legalfalcon Could you please help me with this? I am not sure whether visa officers think I meet the MEC: 1560 working hrs under federal skills worker program when getting the ITA on Feb 7 , 2018.
I have been working at the same job since September 2015 continuously till now. It is contract-based and 4 month is a contract. The current contract is from January 2018 to April 2018.
My employment letter indicates: The hours I have worked, including the current contract, total 1722 hours.
The average was 12 hours a week, however note, for the period Sept-Dec 2017, the average was 14.5 hrs per week.

I have two questions:
(1). Q: Do I need to finish the current contract to meet the MEC since my employment letter mentions the current contract in total hours and just provides the average weekly hours but not weekly hours?

(2). If the above (1) is not a concern, then
I suppose there are two ways to calculate my working hours:
A. i. Sept 2015 to Aug 2017 2 years, 52*2=104 weeks, 104*12=1248 hrs
ii. Sept 2017 to Dec 2017 4 months, 17 weeks 3 days, 17.4 weeks, 17.4*14.5= 252.3 hrs
iii. Jan 2018 to Feb 7, 2018 5 weeks 3 days, 5.4 weeks, 5.4* 12= 64.8 hrs
total: 1248 + 252.3 + 64.8 = 1565.1 hrs

B. i. same as A
ii. 17 weeks, 17*14.5= 246.5
iii. 5 weeks, 5*12= 60
total : 1248+ 246.5 + 60 = 1554.5 hrs

Q:Can I know which way visa officers will adopt or neither?

(Actually, till Jan 28, I have satisfied the MEC if the above (1) is not a issue:
i. Sept 2015 to Aug 2017 6 contracts, 1 contract 210 hours, 6* 210= 1260 hrs
ii. Sept 2017 to Dec 2017 1 contract, 252 hours
iii. Jan 1- 28 2018 4 weeks, 4*12= 48 hrs
total: 1260 + 252 +48= 1560 hrs.
I have already submitted my e-APR and just included employment letter as my working proof. )
Thank you very much!

Hi @legalfalcon

I will be shortly submitting an affidavit to ircc as documents of best efforts to convince my hubbys ex to consent for my stepson medicals, although he is non-accompanying.

Now the issue is the affidavit will be in Hindi for which a certified translation with affidavit is required. However I will be also adding details of WhatsApp messages to his ex and his ex-fatherinlaw which is in gujarati language but English script used. Do I need to have this also translated from certified translator with affidavit or self translation can be done. Will be sending this over to New Delhi vo.

PFL is sent when the officer things that your employment you have claimed is not credible or cannot be verified. If you have sent them the required documents, no need to worry.
Hi Legalfalcon,
Is it possible to start security screening after 13 months of AOR ? Or it's just regular background verification ?
I am CEC Outland. Currently Background is in IP2 since Feb-27-2018.
I sent them required documents on Jan-10-2018 after they sent me Procedural Fairness Letter on Dec-15-2017.
Could you please tell me usually howmuch time it takes to verify this documents ????

Hello,
I spoke to an agent recently the agent said that my eligibility is Recommend Passed and security/criminality not started yet. What does this indicate? my online status still shows IP1.

Dear Legalfalcon,

I am a PR in Canada. Currently living and working in Ontario.

When I applied for PR, my wife and daughter were included as unaccompanied for family reasons.

My wife and daughter wanted to celebrate my daughter's birthday with me in Canada, which is in June.

They applied for a TRV and got a multiple entry visa which has a validity of a year.

Now since they got a visa for a longer period I want to go back, stay for a few weeks in my country, and bring them with me to Canada.

Will it be a problem if they enter after June but within their visa validity period? (They have a Multiple Entry Visa of 1 year)

I am asking because in their application they mentioned purpose of visit is celebrating the birthday in June.

Will there be any issue at the border if they arrive after June?

Guys I have a unique situation due to the complicated visa situation in the US I am worried about leaving to Canada and not being able to get my visa restamped to come back to the US? Would it be possible to extend my landing deadline for a full year or do you have any other suggestions for someone in my situation?

This is a very good sign. Ensure you attend the interview and be there 30mins before the stipulated time. This would give you time to respond to all queries. If the officer is satisfied with the outcome of the interview, you may leave the venue with your PPR and CoPR. On the other hand, you could be asked to return and wait for further request.
