Hi Vanessa and @dypo. I just got a GCMS and also have "Interview Recommended". I've ordered another yesterday to see if there are any changes. What's up with yours?
No changes in fact the eligibility pending on note 1 was completely removed when I ordered 2nd gcms notes and I still have recommend interview with no notes explanation

You won't find a clue because the Case Analyst doesn't want you to find one before the Officer Review. The Review Info from the Case Analyst is redacted (Hiden from the notes, Reffer to s16.(1)(c) on top right corner). Those notes are hidden after " All Valid" and before "Ready to Finalize". However, this is a regular review and there's no alarming situation as of now.
Please what if I have recommend interview and notes 1 is blank/redacted but I still have that blank page with s16(1)(c) and the case processing agent note 2 says all is cleared and ready to finalize.... What does it mean?

The Officer while doing a review would have found something that needs futher introspection and has overridden the Case Analyst recomendation, thus the Recomend Interview. Now the Senior Officer or anyone else from the Officer group can collectively or Independetly take a decion to further request an Interview or Waive that off while passing the eligibility. They might send you an ADR if needed. Try to make sense from the last Case Analyst notes of what could have gone wrong. AFAIK, If an Interview is requested, the Eligibility Staus under GSCM would change to Interview Required from Recomend Interview but again no official evidence to support this.

There's a review required on your job reference letters for Work2 & 3, thus a difference of 15 FSW points. Can't see anything alarming in the notes. Just revisit the reference letters to make sure they take care of all what IRCC requires in a reference letter.

Hello all,

I got my GCMS notes few days ago. The summary of the notes on the last pages of my file state that my Eligibility is "Recommend Passed".

Is there something to be worried?

I concur but shit happens at times. You're not alone. Have seen 2 simmilar case in the last few days wherein the Eligibility was Met/Passed by the Case Analyst but Officer Recomended an Interview after the review. Are you by chance a Provincial Nominee? Seems this is common among them.

Seems Okay. Guess, the Case Analyst refered the Letters for Review to his Senior Officer because the Job Duties are from the Coleague and not from the HR. The Case Analyst would like the officer to vet the document before marking it Passed. Had the reference letter with Job duties and Salary come in from the HR, things would have been passed by now. Never the less, I just see it as a routine review.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Do you suggest sending a letter of explanation with some employment record documents. I have drafted a sample LETTER OF EXPLANATION, if you could see if this will help my case.


LETTER OF EXPLANATION



LETTER OF EXPLANATION




Date: 15th July 2020



To,

The Immigration Officer,

IRCC, Government of Canada,

Canada.



Subject: Letter of Explanation for Express Entry- FSW application (Application no: E00XXXXXXX)



Dear Officer,



I want to thank you for the invitation to apply for the Permanent Residency under the Express Entry- FSW stream. I had submitted all the required documents on the CIC web portal and through CIC webform at the time of submission of the application.



I had applied for GCMS notes to understand the status of my PR application as it has been more than 6 months since I submitted. Upon receiving the GCMS notes, I understood that the status for my work experience has been mentioned as “REVIEW REQUIRED”.



I would like to highlight some points with regards to my work experience to enable you to understand better:



  • I have claimed points for 3+ years of foreign work experience in NOC. I have gained this experience by working in Tata Consultancy Services for the past 7+ years. I joined the organization on 27th March 2013 and presently work there.
  • Although I have worked on different designations namely Assistant System Engineer Trainee, Assistant System Engineer, System Engineer, IT Analyst in the past 7 years in the organization, my roles and responsibilities match with the main duties mentioned in NOC 2174 and hence I had chosen NOC 2174.
  • As according to Tata Consultancy Services policies, any letter stating job duties and responsibilities are not issued to employees. I had also attached a notarized letter from my Technical Lead stating my work experience, job duties, designation, current role in the organization, hours per week and annual compensation.
  • At the time of submission of my application, I had submitted my Offer Letter, Letter of Appointment, Pay Slips, Annual Compensation Letters, Annual Performance Band Letter, Promotion Letter, Deputation Letter, Tata Consultancy Services Employment Letter, and other documents as proof of my employment records.
  • I have attached the job duties and responsibilities letter, and my past 6 months pay slips to support the fact that I am still under their employment with this letter.




I am at your disposal to provide you with any additional documents that you deem useful for completing the process of my application.







Sincerely,

XXXXXXXXXXX

IMHO, not needed. Sending them a LOE right now would be like justify something that is already right in the first place. However, if sending the LOE releives you from sleepless night's then it might be worth it. Your call ! Wait for the Officer Review and after you get the GU, send a Webform to get clarity on the Eligibility. Order GCMS incase you don't get a satisfactory reply through Webform but i am sure this is a regular review.
