IRCC officer only close on statutory holidays. However, starting from now until April, the processing will slow down since IRCC will give priority to the student visa applications. The processing will not come to a halt, but just slow down.

I got another ghost update today and found out that my medical has been extended. I wish my journey is finally coming to an end and I could get the ready for visa email by next week.

Thank you for the response. Is there a difference between CAIPS and GCMS in 2019?
I heard CAIPS takes shorter days to process.

Lmao! Well we can only hope for good news.
People on Facebook forums seem to believe that Ottawa is on a roll this month....what an insult!
On a roll and I have been waiting since the beginning of the year! Sheesh!

Depends when they open your file again. A decision was made two days after I submitted mine. The good thing is every other stage is passed, so once they open your file a decision will be made. Good luck

Wish you good luck

Hello Folks,

So I received a “Procedural Fairness Letter” yesterday which was expected.

Basically, I gave an interview at Vancouver office to change my closed permit to Vulnerable Urgent Open Work Permit where I was given a paper to write the duties my manager made me do to which I understood I just have to write the additional/exploitation duties I did which wasnt as per NOC coz I thought interview was about vulnerability.

So the officer has the concern that I have declared the duties at the time of the interview on an affidavit which are not as per the duties I have claimed the points for and has given me 7 days to support any document which can address to that concern.

Now when I applied for PR, I didnt had reference letter ofcourse as my manager was exploiting me so was delaying the same. However in May, 2019 I did get the reference letter confirming the duties I did signed my employer which I submitted via web form without any letter of explanation however GCMS notes doesn’t acknowledge that they have received it.

I have hired a profession lawyer to respond to the PFL & thinking to take below steps to get the decision in my favor :

1. Attaching the appointment letter which has all the duties
2. Reference letter which confirms that I performed all the duties for more than 1 year
3. Letter of explanation to the officer that I misinterpreted at the open work permit visa interview thinking officer is just asking to mention additional duties/exploitation as thought interview was about vulnerability.

I have been given time till next Thursday that is 19th December, 2019 to allay his concerns.

The reason to put my private matter here is coz this forum has been super helpful so far and I just want to take the experts opinions in regards to the letter of explanation as its a make or a break. Anyone whom I have not tagged, please chip in with your thoughts as your suggestion can help me secure my PR.

@PrasadK @WunmiofLagos @legalfalcon @rushi.gada @vinayk Please!

Also once I respond them in how many days they take the decision!

ATTENTION!

NOT TOO LATE – SUBMIT YOUR JOB DUTIES LETTER NOW!


There are many applicants who have only given their offer letter, relieving letter, salary slips and/or account statement showing salary credited as proof of employment.


The MOST IMPORTANT aspect of employment proof is to attest your job duty, role and responsibility. Based on this information, the visa officer VALIDATES your chosen NOC Code and moves the file forward.


In case you have not shown your job duties and responsibilities (based on whatever your past employer agrees to show on paper) – GET THE LETTERS NOW AND SUBMIT VIA WEBFORM ASAP. Do not worry, you have time!


Get up, its time to chase your past reporting manager. Chase your past HR person. Tell them you need this letter for immigration & citizenship purpose. Get whatever duties you can on paper. Signed by either HR or Dept. Head or Reporting Manager or any official signing authority.


Remember, Offer letters have salary mentioned, but they do not mention your job duties. It is compulsory to disclose any/all/as much of duties signed by past employers.

ACT NOW! YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! AVOID ADR REQUEST!


BE PROACTIVE!

Any updates on your end ? Have you got any indication that they have opened your file again ? Did you make a phone call or sent webform to confirm they have received your responses ?
