APPLICATION ASSIGNMENT
Assigned To: DC6185
Assigned By: DC6185
Due Date: 2020/08/27 (This is the only latest date I can see in the entire notes system) Does this mean that CIC was supposed to finalize the application by that date?

Waiting for BIOMETRICS CALL from Service Canada for quite some time. AOR May 6, 2020. Thank you!

The due date is a system generated date to remind the officer that the application is pending. Mist applications keep pending way past the due date and some are processed and finalised before the due date.

As per page 2, your eligibility is passed. See the last 2-5 pages to read the detailed note on eligibility and see if it is conclusively passed.

Hi, what is the status on security on the 2nd page, it was not mentioned in your post. You will see due dates for many activities in the file, they serve as a reminder but aren't always strictly adhered to.

BOWP is not conditional on LIMIA or your employer. If you have less then 4 months remaining, then immediately apply for BOWP. Once you WP expires, you cannot work any longer.

With a BOPW, you can work for any employer.
@legalfalcon, Thank you for your reply. I tried to apply for BOWP today.
However, CIC website says that, to qualify for BOWP, I must have applied for PR as follows; "provincial nominee class (PNC), for applicants for whom there are no employer restrictions on nominations".
But, I was nominated with a employer-specific work permit. Meanwhile, my work permit support letter for provincial nominee says that this letter is to facilitate the issuance of an LMIA-exempt work permit. Would you advise if I can still apply for the same BOWP?

Based on this note, your eligibility is conclusively passed. So no need to worry. Most likely your security should be in progress, or even passed. What is the date of the officer's note?

For most applicants security is done within 3-7 weeks. If your security is blank, on page 2 of your GCMS notes then it means that it is either in progress or passed. Security screening details are always redacted in the GCMS notes and you will see s15 on the top right of the page where the security is. To read on s15 see https://bit.ly/3jvbiZO



To read on security screening and the security screening manual see https://bit.ly/3ouIwfG

If your security has started, you will have 2-4 security activities in the GCMS notes. See my previous post on this to compare yours #4,803

Hi. Perfect, that's excellent. Security is blank and is infact a good thing as it signifies that it's either in progress or even completed. Most security checks are done within 1 month. So, what you can do next is follow up using a web form after some time and inquire about security and if the response comes back as valid then it signifies it's completed. If you are inland or have a friend/relative in Canada then you can also request your Gcms Notes from CBSA for free/$5 and it will have more info about security vs a Gcms Notes from IRCC.
