I have the same AR date as you, I am waiting for my GCMS notes as well. Check my timeline out. I think my security is stuck for a while now. :( I hope it clears soon, as it has been 8 months since the last update.
I really hope it clears soon. For a while I really thought my security was stuck too. But now it seems to be moving, at least.

Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all well. I had applied for a non-express entry PNP and had the following question in the background questions section. On the form itself I had answered “YES” to both the question below and the question that asked if I’ve ever been denied a refugee, permanent, provincial or temporary or visitor visa.

For a little background, I was refused a Canadian student visa/permit the first time I applied and it was approved when I re-applied immediately after the refusal. I’ve declared this in my application.

I’m not all too sure about the question below and need some advice from senior experts on this forum if I’ve answered this correctly. I’ve been as truthful and transparent as I can. Will the below get me flagged for misrepresenting because of my last two paragraphs in my answer?

the background questions and answers i need help in. This is what I included in my letter of explanation (LOE):

The Question:
Have you or your family been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country or territory?

My Answer:
The only reason I have answered YES to this question is because I had a Canadian Student Visa/Permit refusal when I initially applied. (I mentioned this in the previous background question).

Other than the Canadian Student Visa/Permit refusal mentioned above (which was later approved), I have always been granted entry/admission at the port of entry/border in Canada or any other country/territory I've traveled to. I have also never been ordered to leave Canada or any other country/territory after entering the country.

I'm unsure if the "refused admission to" portion in question 5 includes a visa refusal. For this reason, I just answered YES in this question.

If, however, the "refused admission to" portion in this question doesn't include a visa refusal, and the question only asks if l've been refused admission/entry to Canada or any other country or territory at the port of entry/border, then please note my answer for this question is NO.

I don't have a spouse, common-law partner, or any dependent children. Therefore, I have answered this question only for myself.


I personally think it should be fine but I’m too panicky at the moment.

Any chance of that the last two paragraphs or any portion of my answer get me flagged for misrepresenting?



Thank you for your assistance Seniors :)
I think your answer should be YES for visa denial and NO for admission denial or order to leave. Your letter of explanation should suffice for further explanation. You can always ask an immigration consultant to be 100% sure if you are worried about misrepresentation.

Hi All,

Me and my husband both got OINP nomination under the same stream FSW. Shall we both apply for non EE application to IRCC or only one of us should do it. I understand applying both will mean double application fee. Any other criteria should I take into consideration before making a call. Please guide and help on this.

Regards,
S

You should wait for their instructions however if you ever done medical exam in last 5 years before for CIC, you are exempt from doing another one . Doing upfront medical can make things confusing and complicated.
Makes sense, thank you!

First of all, FSW is an Express Entry pathway, it has nothing to do with non-Express Entry pathways so I don't know why you are trying to apply through non-EE. Also, did both of you get separate nomination certificates or just a Notification of Interest? If so, then why did you both apply separately for nomination and not just have an accompanying spouse in one application? And wouldn't you have to make the same considerations while doing your federal application for Express Entry? I am really confused by what you are trying to get at.

The normal way of going about it would be for one of you to be the principal applicant and the other to be an accompanying spouse. You have to pay the processing fee and the RPRF fee for both.

You don't need a PCC from the RCMP. You need PCC from your home country and any country that you have lived in for an extended period of time. I would recommend getting a new PCC done, as the PCCs from most countries tend to have expiry dates on them (6 months, 1 year, etc.). So your PCC from 2021 might not be valid even though you haven't been there in 2 years. In some cases, if you are an inland applicant, you need to have applied for your PCC while you are in Canada and not have it made while you are still in your home country. Just apply for a new one; it might take a few weeks, but it might save you from getting an ADR.
