Hi, thanks for sharing. Unless I missed something, nothing jumps out with reference to the RR comment provided here. Are there more comments? Your application needs to be reviewed by an officer for the edibility decision but no red flags in these comments. As for info sharing did you travel to the US.

Some information but I warn - I am speculating based on what is publicly available. For example, here:
https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/access-information-privacy/access-information/access-information-manual.html#cha11_10

s.17 is an exemption from disclosing information under the ATIP act that refers to 'safety of individuals.'

Again I underline, I do not know details, this is no more than an informed guess.

Short form, if you read the information above, it is about the possibility that disclosing the information might potentially threaten an individual.

There are a number of examples listed in the example above, but mostly - repeat, mostly - they are about disclosing the name of individuals (or info that would allow one to figure out who that individual is, or their location, or other relevant information).

The most common example might be related to a confidential informant.

Now to head into the territory of "I don't know but here's why it might be completely normal and no need to worry" - a lot of the exemptions are related to info from other agencies, sources and methods, etc. It could be completely innocuous (in specific relation to an immigration file eg your specific file) if the relevant document names someone who otherwise should not be disclosed.

I could also come up with examples and fantasies about why it might be negative information (for the purposes of the immigration application), but that would also be pure speculation.

Short form, this does not tell you much - and it would be hard to figure out what the issue is from a plain ATIP request. Chances are it's completely innocuous - they have some information that names someone only distantly related to your case. (Eg. sources and methods can be totally boring stuff like where they got a report that says "no issue."). Or it could be more significant, but that's probably more rare. It may make a lot more sense with info about the applicant (country, work history, etc), but even that may be misleading and just raw speculation.

Main takeaway: it is probably not worth worrying about the specific section or issue unless you have a reason to believe security / background checks are a problem for you.

Again, not an expert, so I could be completely offbase. At any rate, the exemption does refer to 'safety of individuals.'

Nicely put and agree with your summary "Main takeaway: it is probably not worth worrying about the specific section or issue unless you have a reason to believe security / background checks are a problem for you."

That's all I have with respect to the comments from these 2 persons. I never travelled to US or anyother country. What does it mean by "Info Sharing: System Error" Is it related to the eligibility?

Info sharing is part of Background Check. Background check comprises of criminality check (usually happens at R10 stage), info sharing and security screening. Security screening is the last step before a decision on the application is made. As for Info Sharing some people also see NRT (no reportable trace) in this field which means no adverse information on the applicant was found. System error is either much the same that no data was found or there was a glitch in accessing the data. If your family never applied for a visa to these countries then it will come back as NRT.
Countries as listed here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/agreements.html

Thanks for your detailed explanation. That helps!!!

I believe the info sharing part had some error and can see the comments "Contact GCMS Helpdesk or Proceed with processing the application, at the VO's discretion". That's why I believe there is a RR even though there are no red flags in the notes section.

Got it, these comments were in notes section? Didn't see them in the earlier post.

Yes, I was just scanning through each page and came across it. This shouldn't be a concern, right?

Here is a link to biographic sharing b/w USA and Canada https://www.dhs.gov/publication/biographic-visa-and-immigration-information-sharing-canada
The notes mention of a US activity ID but like you mentioned that you/your family have never applied for a US visa then it's just a technical glitch and nothing to worry about.

Thank you for this feedback. I guess I shouldn't be bothered. Husband used to be in the military. I am PA and we have eligibility passed, medical passed, criminality passed and security blank. I will just wait for what comes next.

S17 and the likes (s15, s19 etc..) are fairly common and not something to be worried about as @armoured mentioned. Your application looks in good shape! Whenever you request the GCMS notes, IRCC will send the file with below email (an example). The statement "Disposition of your records: Disclosed in part, Section(s) of the Act applied (if applicable):" as mentioned in the email below will cite if some information is withed from disclosure/redacted by IRCC. This is routine and the section of Act can vary. Sometimes applicants also receive the message "All disclosed" meaning no exemptions were applied.

Hello Everyone

Quick question

In year 2015 I was applied for visitors visa with Retail sales supervisor job title (Noc code 6211) 2013 to 2015 & it was rejected.

So now I applied for sinp paper based applications and in work experience I mention in the year of 2013 to 2015 Retail Merchandise (Noc code 6222).

So it will make any negative impact or charge me misrepresentation on application.

My status as per gcms notes from last month

Eligibility : Passed
Criminality : Passed
Medical : Passed
Security : Not Started

Thanks in advance

 

[Loulla]

Can anyone help ,,
In the summary of my gcms notes said “ security decision referred to cleared officer”, however, It mentioned in security section: Not started
