Wow. This is great. Hopefully, Criminality will be closed soon after we submit biometrics.

From the notes, I can see that my security is on hold with the US. There are 2 communications with the US. One on Biography which returned 'No Reportable Trace' and another one on Biometrics which is on hold due to missing biometrics information.

I assume my security is also passed since I also see a similar update on my application status. 'Pending your action' is changed to 'Submitted'. I'll order another notes by the end of this month.
Yes, I noticed that in my profile also. Earlier it was showing "Your action required". Now, it says "Submitted". But Biometrics is still pending due to COVID. Think we are on the same boat and your security should have been passed by this time.

I ordered GCMS notes yesterday. Let's see what it has.

Guys,
Today, IRCC excluded Work Permit extensions filed within Canada from needing biometrics to be done. I wish, they could do the same thing with CEC candidates filed within Canada as well.
Awesome, I wonder if they will refund the Biometrics fees to applicants that paid.

Would you mind sharing the link of this announcement with us, please?

Called IRCC on Friday and she said eligibility, security and medical is passed and criminality is on hold due to the biometrics. I raised a webform on the same day to know the status and I received the reply:

In addition, we verified the information on file and can confirm that:

  • The eligibility assessment is in process.
  • The security background verification is currently valid.
  • The criminal background verification is in process.
In the webform response, it says eligibility assessment is in process. Whereas when speaking to the IRCC agent, she said eligibility passed. Which one should I believe?

Interesting.. I saw the update at the below link. I even received a similar update from my company as well. But today, I do not see the temporary worker section. Looks like they removed it. :confused:

But they mentioned that the fee would be refunded.

Wait for the GCMS notes. You will get clarity.

For those who are still eager to know the steps to request GCMS notes, please go through the below link. Once you submit the request, it takes 15-30 calendar days to receive the notes.
http://askkubeir.com/gcms-notes/

If you have dependents in your application, you need to fill and attach this form as well. Otherwise, they'll provide only your information.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/forms/request-5744.html
Hello. I filled out this form and sent it with myself being the Designated Representative and my husband being the Main Applicant and then I filled in two boxes for Related Individual (for my two son's). I received a reply saying:
  • ensure this form is signed by both parents OR
  • submit separate forms for each parent, listing the minor's information on each form.
If I were to do the first, where do I sign as the mother and if I were to do the second how do I go about that?

I would try this. If possible, attach a consent letter along with the form for your children, and attach proofs to show your relationship.
Assumption: You are the PA and your husband, who is in Canada, requests GCMS notes. Both of your children are minor.

In IMM5744 form,
1. Your husband's details
2. Your details and your sign
2.1. Your first son's details and your sign as well as your husband's sign in the signature box (Put father/mother in parenthesis to designate, underneath each sign)
2.2 Your second son's details and your sign as well as your husband's sign in the signature box (Put father/mother in parenthesis to designate, underneath each sign)

I will do so. Thank you.
