Hi everyone,

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

Visa Office(s): Primary - Sydney, NS; Secondary - Ottawa, ON

AOR: March 20, 2020
Biometrics exemption updated: September 28, 2020
GCMS notes received: January 06, 2021
Medicals expiring: February 25, 2021
Eligibility: Passed
Info sharing: Complete
Criminality: In Progress (Recommended Pass by Agent per GCMS notes)
Security: Not started
Last human activity recorded on file (presumably): May 2020

I have been waiting to obtain my PR to be able to afford university at domestic tuition rates. Anticipating my PR decision by September 2020, I was hopeful that enrolling at U of T for the Fall 2021 semester was going to be a reasonable prospect. I have now lost this opportunity and will be sitting out of school for yet another year, although I am grateful for the fact that I am working full-time during this pandemic.

Hello,
I have no idea tbh. My eligibility and security only passed this past week. Before that, I hadn’t received any updates. The agent did say that “it’s only a matter of time now lol” but who knows.....

Anybody received COPR or any update recenlty. My AOR is on March19 2020. I have not seen any update in status other than Biometrics. As per GCMS notes received on Jan 2021 only criminality check and medical are pending. Is there anybody who has similar status?

Hi, long time lurker here. Just wanted to share my GCMS notes.
GCMS created date: 21/9/2020
GCMS received date: 20/2/2021(through CBSA)
Primary office: Ottawa

AOR: March 14, 2020
Type: FSW-Outland
Eligibility: Review Required
Security: Not Started
Criminality: In Progress (recommended pass)
Medical: Passed
Biometrics: Complete

According to the notes, review is required because:

I run a startup. The name that I use on the website is different from my passport name (my work name is in English, my passport name is in Chinese). So they'd need to verify that somehow. I uploaded my company registration details from a govt website, so not sure why they don't consider that "government license". Paystubs weren't required so I didn't upload that.

@legalfalcon Would appreciate your kind advice given you've seen all sorts of GCMS notes.
1. My actionables now is to just wait for IRCC to request for additional info right? I can easily prove these things, just need them to request it.
2. If the employment letter has confirmed my employment, do the other comments like NO PAYSTUBS, NO GOVERNMENT LICENSE still matter?

Thank you so much!

As an applicant it is your responsibility to submit all documents that can be used to verify you claims for the work experience. Since now you know the concerns as stipulated in your GCMS notes, you should send documents to address them. IRCC may send a procedural fairness letter, ask for additional documents or refuse your application if they are not able to verify your work experience.

Yes, just getting an employment letter is not sufficient. If IRCC cannot verify the existence of your employer, then you will need additional documents.

Thank you for your response @legalfalcon ! Much appreciated. As the web portal is now down, I'm unable to see if there's an option for me to submit the documents. I wonder if sending them through the webform will be acceptable.

My eAPR date is March 21, 2020 for EE FSW, no update on further details. Ordered GCMS notes, most recent note made in June 2020. Does that mean my file hasnt even been touched after that. What can I do?
