Yes, it is quite normal at this stage for IRCC to request your CV or résumé, especially under the non-Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program stream. This request is usually linked to the final stage of background and security screening, where officers want to cross-verify your education, employment, and travel history against the details you provided in your application. It does not necessarily mean your background check is fully completed yet—it means they are finalizing it and want to ensure there are no gaps or inconsistencies. Many applicants receive this request shortly before their file is approved, so it’s generally a positive sign that your application has moved into the final review stage. While it doesn’t guarantee immediate issuance of Portal 1, it does suggest you are close to the end of the process, and once the security screening is cleared, you can expect the portal invitation soon after.
