Hello,

Please I recently applied for my gcms notes and I am in the same shoes. Although I didn’t use a wrong NOC, the NOC I chose as primary has less than 1 year experience so CRS dropped and eligibility has been under review. I also have moved to ip2. Please how did you go about sorting this your issue. Did you receive PPR mail without having to raise a CSE? How long did your application take?
Thanks in advance. I am very worried.
Well, my application was wrong NOC but I passed in exactly 6 months. They prefer my application to senior for review again and he passed me, lucky me. However, in your case if you said that it has not 1 year yet, it turns to totally different case. I suggest you wait more and continue to order GCMS note to check it out. I did not do anything to solve my problem in the application as everything is useless for my case - letter of explanation or anything elses. Wish you luck!

Guys,

I have a similar case.
My Timeline:
AOR Aug 8th 2018
MED Passed/ IP2 (Background Check in Progress) – Aug 29th 2018
No updates since then
Stream: FSW Outland Applicant
GCMS Status:

Comment from Case Processing Agent,

Review of employment record regarding reference – eDOC#xxxxx, Review Required R75: FSW MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS – Review Required R76: SELECTION CRITERIA – FSW POINTS: Review Required R76: SELECTION CRITERIA – FUNDS : APPEARS TO MEET FSW points total: 63 ready to finalize RPRF: Complete
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) CRS Score at invitation to apply (ITA) 451 CRS points minimum score for round: 451 CRS score at application (APR): 451 Total CRS Points Assessed I Verified: 411 I have reviewed the following for CRS points: PA gained points as SINGLE at ITA

Q1: Anyone else had this phrase "Review of employment record regarding reference"? I assume that they are not happy with the reference letter.
Q2: When a specific employment record is under review, is it normal that the "SELECTION CRITERIA" and "FSW POINTS" will also be under review?

Thanks

As long as they feel any of your employment record should not be counted, then they will mark review required. And if it makes your points drop below that of the round, then the specific criteria will also be required. If not, then it doesnt matter. I have one employment record review required as well but my points does not drop below the needed, and all the criteria above are still marked Met. It will be more helpful if you can share the detailed notes about your employment record left by the agent.

Comment from Case Processing Agent,
****NOTE: Review of employment record required regarding reference - eDoc #xxx (CompanyA - holds 11 months work experience in Canada) A 11.2: Review Required R75: FSW MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS - Review Required R76: SELECTION CRITERIA - FSW POINTS : Review Required R76: SELECTION CRITERIA- FUNDS: APPEARS TO MEET FSW points total: 63 Ready to Finalize RPRF: Complete Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) CRS Score at invitation to apply (ITA) 451 CRS points minimum score for round: 451 CRS score at application (APR): 451 Total CRS Points Assessed I Verified: 411 (451 - 40 = 411, 40 points reduced which was claimed for the 1 year Canadian work experience) I have reviewed the following for CRS points: PA gained points as SINGLE at ITA for 3+ year(s) Foreign Work Experience with "CompanyC, edoc# xxx" & "CompanyD, edoc# xxx" PA gained points for Canadian Education Transcript Provided eDoc# xxx Diploma Provided eDoc# xxx

As you can see the notes, officer is not happy the docs for CompanyA (11 months work experience in canada which holds 40 CRS points). Employer is a well known bank in Canada and they were not able to provide the reference letter as per IRCC guidelines. So I submitted a reference letter with all required details as per IRCC (not on company letter head) (not notarized by indian laywer as since it is a canadian employer), but had it signed by my supervisor with his official contact details and attached his employee ID card. Apart from this, I have also submitted all the require documents including experience letter, offer letter, designation change letter, recommendation letter, payslips, T4 Tax documents.

Question: Should I notarize the reference letter? Is it okay to notarize it by an Indian lawyer for a canadian employer's reference letter?

Note: I applied from India as FSWO applicant

I think it will eventually be passed by the case officer. But you should definitely submit anything as long as you feel it might help.

I had ordered gcms notes on april 2, which i got just today. For A11.2 it says, "It appears duties are on a separate letter with no name and date"
Absolutely nothing about duties matching noc or anything like that.

But the issue i have with this is, the letter which states all other info (salary, hours, benefits, etc) has it written clearly that they can find duties enclosed in an additional page and THAT letterhead does have a date and signature and name. So does this mean a refusal?

It says right after that "PA has provided T4s from 2015/2016, NOA from 2015, and Record of Employment".
hello, have you got ppr ?

Thanks, will do.

Just checking with other experts if the notarized copy is accepted by CIC
Hi,
Do you have any updates on your eligibility?
My case is also in Review Required due to the wording on my reference letter is very close to the wording of NOC.
