@ 4012 I guess they are doing a preliminary thing in Sydney and then sending it to Ottawa due to strike or lack of personel in Ottawa?
No. This was happening before the strike.

No, they began doing this procedure a while back before the strike in order to reduce the burden on Ottawa.

Thats odd why two offices checking the same application? More conservative?
Sydney only skims through the application but do not check every single detail or verify every single document. They do a completeness check and if they catch something that clearly disqualifies an applicant, may act on it. CPP still does background checks and verifies every single document, and count the hours you worked and check if you had legal status to do so. Ottawa can override Sydney.

Sydney have actually done this in a few instances recently - as we have seen from GCMS notes.

Hey guys,

I was just pulling info from Open Data and came across an updated file (2013-04-02) by CIC ... thought I would bring it up, since CIO was included in the regional calculation as having processed 8 cases. The period covers 1 yr (April '12 to '13). Its not an exact indicator, but it does show that CIO has done some work on PR apps, other than preliminary screening. Also, it points back to the theory of benchmarking/pilot program.

Dont think that 2013 applicants will be impacted much, but could mean changes in the future. Also, I'm still waiting for my GCMS notes and will publish as soon as they come in.

Good luck to all... :)


Look under PR - RP tab ... bottom of data set (Centralized Processing Region - CIO Sydney)

Hi everyone. Im a 2013 applicant. GCMS notes just received. Eligibility was not assessed at CIO. In fact, a portion in the notes says “transferred to CPP-O for eligibility check".

Only thing started was an RCMP check with results no reportable trace.

So clearly a long way to go. I guess CIO is fully assessing only a handful of applications.

Good luck to all.

I’m still in Application received. I just thought I’d order GCMS to check because I wasn’t sure whether not having a change to “In Process” would factor in to the eligibility assessment at CIO

It's good to know. I think for those in process some
Form of eligibility check has occurred but we will see. Waiting for my own notes. When did you apply for them and did you receive them today?
