Hi Guys,

I need your help because its really stressing me out...

I applied under NOC 1123 on 10 Sept, 2014 and my letter reached CIC on 17th September, 2014

I quit my company on 31st August, 2014 and didnt have an experience letter to prove tat i quit my job since even my resignation wasn't accepted that time. I stated my current employer as a current employer because I myself didnt know the status of my employemnet with my former employer.

I got an offer and joined a new company on 15th Sepetember, 2014 have a apoointment letter and all of it...


After 2 months of joining the new company my former company called me and shared my experience letter with me mentioning i quit on 31st August, 2014.

What do i inform the CIC now....

do i write to cic that i quit on 31st August and was working on handover till the 6th September.....im really confused...please help

I think ndvo is overloaded with applications. They have lot of pending apps starting from 2010. They are on a strict mission to reduce the backlog to process express entry. That's why they are diverting post Jan per to alternate vos. Secondly security check won't take more than a month. I completely disagree with that. If you clearly observe the spreadsheet most of the less crowded vos are able to complete it in a month.

The only reason for the delay is they don't have time. They are not checking ur records untill the bfd comes. My bfd is set to march 31st based on gcms .medical request was requested on Dec 24th . The actual request was send on Jan 10 and bfd-bring forward date is set to march 31-. I strongly believe they don't check my apps or initiate criminality or security before april.

The delay is just because of excess app and not because of too many forigen travells

Sorry what exactly is BFD and how is it set?? Ur actual request was sent on Jan 10- time would be given till 45 days so by Feb 25 they would expect to have ur MR/PCC/ RPRF documents....so y is BFD March 31?...Anything mentioned in GCMS notes.... ???

In the Ques. no. 12 a.. you need to pick ONE occupation from all your Occupations filled in Ques. 12 b.
So, for that 1 job (Prim NOC Eligibility) the 'designation' must be the same in BOTH the ques .. 8)

i hope they don't consider this as a major error and a reason for the rejection....thanks for the reply friend,...

GUys please help!!!!


Seniors Please Help!!!!

I'd advise raise a CSE with NDVO first abt updating change of employment...then depending on their reply (if they ask you to contact Poland VO instead)-
Send the Form with Updated Employment History, Relieving Letter of old company, and Joining Letter of ur new company...
Explain in a cover letter (draft this carefully) that there was a delay/confusion in processing ur Final working date on your Relieving Letter....and you were still working on transition for the next 7 days hence you didn't update the Employment Change Details at the time of sending application but later the company processed your Relieving Letter with final working date as 31st only.....Be extremely polite and add a line abt sincere apology- not meant to misrepresent in any way....As long as u act fast and inform the VO quickly on your own, I feel it'd be fine...they r experienced ppl, they'd have seen the multiple issues ppl face at their workplaces over the years...

Experienced Seniors please comment further if your opinion is different...

You said that you have already received the PER. So, why do you want to tell it to CIC.

To avoid any confusion, you can write to Warsaw Visa Office about the Handover time and details.

Completely agree with you adisu01.

Below are the extracts from CIC SOP on security screening. From the face of it, it doesn't sound like an exhaustive process unless something is suspected.

4. Security screening pursuant to section(s) 34, 35 and/or 37 of IRPA
4.1. Mandate of the National Security Screening Division, CBSA
The National Security Screening Division (NSSD) of the International Operations Directorate of CBSA conducts security screening in the context of applications for temporary residence visas, applications for permanent residence visas and claims for refugee protection. In this context only, NSSD provides recommendations on admissibility on national security cases related to section(s) 34, 35 and/or 37 of IRPA as follows:

Security Screening Intelligence Analysis Section
- The Security Screening Intelligence Analysis Section (SSIA) within NSSD is the primary point of contact at the CBSA for all operational screening-related issues pertaining to security screening of applications for permanent residence pursuant to sections(s) 34, 35 and/or 37 or IRPA.
- Officers who suspect that an applicant may be inadmissible pursuant to section(s) 34, 35 and/or 37 of IRPA, but need additional information to make a determination, should send the case to SSIA for in-depth security screening via the - - Global Case Management System (GCMS) for overseas cases as per the instructions in the Immigration Control (IC) Manual – Chapter 1: Security Screening of Permanent Residence Applications.
- When sending a case for security screening, officers should include as much information as possible, including details on adverse information.

Temporary Resident Assessment Intelligence Section
- The Temporary Resident Assessment Intelligence Section (TRAIS) within NSSD is the primary point of contact at the CBSA for all operational screening-related issues pertaining to security screening on admissibility of temporary resident applications pursuant to sections(s) 34, 35 and/or 37 of IRPA, as well as for extensions or changes to valid temporary resident status in Canada.
- Officers who have reason to believe that an applicant may be inadmissible pursuant to section(s) 34, 35 and/or 37 or IRPA, but need additional information to make a determination, should send a security screening request to TRAIS via GCMS as per the instructions in the Immigration Control (IC) Manual – Chapter 2: Security Screening of Temporary Residence Applications.

I read a statement of CBSA officer somewhere to the committee in Canadian parliament that they have 4 tier priority ror security clearance and processing timelines for certain countries. As far as I can remember:

Vip cases 2 days
China 5 days
Russia, India, Pakistan, Saudia Arabia and few others 10 days
All others 20 days

Very userful info adisu and rvp. Do you guys mean to say that VO officer will send for further screening even after they receive PCC for resp country only if he suspects something adverse? OR is has to happen compulsarily for all applicants? Appreciate your response.

Well let me share my take on this.

In my current organization, we have employed third party vendor to do detailed background check for whosoever joins our company. This check comprises of complete educational background check, employment checks covering all previous employments, current & permanent address check, and identity proof check. We also do security and criminality check where in we check with OFAC (office of foreign assets control), Interpol, Rwana and Yugoslavia International War Crimes database, etc. In all 18 checks are done under Security and criminality check process.

This entire process takes up to a month for completion and we get a detailed report form our vendor. So for an NDVO or for any other VO to complete these checks, taking more than a month's time is an exaggerated timeline.

So I believe it is primarily due to work overload that these checks are not being initiated by them in time. Hope this information helps everyone.
