Hi everyone,

I just got email that my file is processed at Cpc Ottawa , does that mean initial eligibility review is done by agent at Intake Processing Centre? & next step is Eligibilty ?

Reason I am asking because my supervisor is on vacation & only has access to his cell phone but not companies email

Please advise on this!

The change of office has no significance on which stage you are at. To know what stage your application is at, you will need to get GCMS notes. The employment verification happens when the file is sent to LVO, and it happens for very few cases, only if there are red flags. Even if your supervisor is on a vacation, it does not matter as in case IRCC decides to verify, they will call you too, but highly unlikely.

The verifications happen at the eligibility and at the CIO only the R10 is cleared. To read more on stages, see https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

Thanks for looking into this. So, what I get is that it's not necessary that agent has reviewed my eligibility at CIO & then file got transfered for final eligibility & security at CPC Ottawa?

Agents can do initial review at CPC ottawa?

Please advise, thanks :)

YEs. In some cases the initial eligibility review is done at CIO, in others it starts at CPC. The only way to know, and the most accuracy way is GCMS. Or else you can wait it out.

@legalfalcon Sir,
I'm very confused about my case. Following is my timeline:
AOR: August 11, 2017 (EE Ontario PNP)
Medical Passed: Sep 6, 2017 (Status Changed to IP2 instead of IP1)
ADR of RCMP: Sep 6, 2017
Submitted RCMP: Sep 21, 2017
Status Changed to "We don't need any additional Documents": Sep 23, 2017
Status again Changed to "We need addition Documents to continue..": Sep 27, 2017
Applied for Notes and according to Notes:
On October 19th, 2017 at CIO Sydney, case agent added a note that "Job Duties don't clearly match NOC. Review required for Lead Statement. Review Required for Roles and Responsibilities"
On October 20th, file transferred to Ottawa.
After that nothing happened and after contacting my employer I provided a revised reference letter (Because my old reference letter did not list Job responsibilities at all) on Jan 3, 2018.
Applied notes again and According to notes,
Revised Employment Letter got attached on Jan 5th, 2018. Still no review by IRCC after Oct 19th, 2017
On Feb 6, 2018, Status of Additional Documents Changed to "We don't need any additional Documents..." (Last time it changed to "We need more..." on Sep 26, 2017.)
I called IRCC on Feb 9th, 2018 to know the status of my application and they said. "Your file has been transferred to London Visa Office yesterday i.e. Feb 8th, 2018".
Now I don't know what's going on. Why did they first transfer my file to Ottawa and then after 3 months, transferred it to London?

P.S. BG status is still IP2 since Sep 6, 2017, and I'm not in Security Screening. IMO that IP2 was a technical glitch because many people who were requested to provide RCMP got IP2. I'm more concerned about what happened on Feb 6th, 2018 when additional document status got changed and after 2 days file transferred to London.

One of my friend who was from FSW stream got the same treatment. Firstly the file got transferred to Ottawa in October (He also had an issue with Job Letter and he provided update Letter through CSE after getting GCMS), then he got ADRs for his Employment (Tax Returns, Bank Statement showing Salary) on Feb 4th, 2018, which he submitted on the very next day and on Feb 9th, 2018, his file also got transferred to London but his IP2 status changed to NA when he submitted ADRs.

Have you requested a new set of GCMS notes? They will state the clear picture.
