But on my IRCC website account shows that my Eligibility is still under review.
I am confused. does it mean the IRCC website's information is outdated?
What should i expect next？
Your reply will be really helpful.
Thank you

How long did it take for your GCMS notes to arrive?

@legalfalcon Just want to say your comments are brilliant and insightful across this forum. Have a two questions for you.

1. In the official IRCC status page, there's a weekly update on the AOR date for applications that are getting finalized: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html

The message for today's snapshot is
"
Canadian Experience Class applications
...
We’re currently finalizing most applications we received between
"

Question: What does IRCC define most applications - Is it 50%, 80% or some other number?
Follow up question: What about Inland PNP application status, is there no visibility on the AOR for PNP based IRCC applications that are getting finalized?


2. I am an inland applicant. Would you recommend I wait for my 1 year Canadian work experience anniversary and reapply as CEC Inland? Or will that result in my application becoming "complex" and land in limbo state.

Most mean majority unless the application falls within the definition of complex.

Currently, IRCC is not prioritizing the PNP or FSW.

2. You can file another application and each application will be processed on its own merits.

The status of your eligibility on your my CIC account will continue to show under review until your application is approved and a COPR is issued.

This is why the GCMS notes are important to know where your application actually is at.

It's unfortunate that the 30 days is delayed. I ordered my GCMS notes July 7 and I still haven't received it as of today.

 

[Igethope]

I have ordered since June 10. I wonder what’s going on ?

thank you so much for your reply!
is the "info sharing" section equal to the background check on the CIC website?
Thank you

Hi guys,
Needs an expert opinion please!

Wondering if it's possible for someone to have PR PNP/EE application under process and apply for CEC/EE PR application and have the two applications processed simultaneously ?
Since the pnp applications takes very long time to be processed I'm thinking of applying for CEC.

Thank you!

When will you have more than 1 year of Canadian experience and what’s your AOR? I am considering the same but have 5 months to go before I can apply via CEC. Hoping to receive atleast portal email by then.

To answer your question- have heard that it’s possible. I know atleast 1 person in these forums who has done that.
My only concern to refrain is if there’s a chance double applications can make the application as complex and put it in limbo state.
