Is there anyone in the same boat as mine. Got my AOR on 12th July. Got PAL and medical passed on 15th August. Since then, no update. Background is still processing. Anyone?

The time it takes to review eligibility varies depending on the complexity of the application and the workload of the assigned visa office. Typically, eligibility review can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months after medicals are passed and biometrics are completed. Straightforward cases, where all documents and information are clear, tend to move faster. However, if IRCC needs to verify additional details, such as employment history, the authenticity of a job offer, or proof of funds, the process may take longer. In your case, the PR Tracker indicating that the background check is complete suggests that IRCC has already cleared that stage, which often overlaps with or precedes eligibility review. The conflicting information between the PR Tracker and the GCKey portal is not uncommon, as the PR Tracker tends to be more current, reflecting updates from IRCC’s internal system, whereas the GCKey portal sometimes lags or shows “In Progress” until all stages are finalized. Once eligibility is concluded, the application typically proceeds to final security checks (if not already completed) and then moves towards a final decision. If you find the delay concerning or need clarification, submitting a webform inquiry or contacting IRCC directly can provide reassurance, though patience is often required during this phase.
Good Afternoon @Miss bee ,
I just got a refusal letter on my 2years work permit and my PNP nomination already expired 01-Dec-2024. Below are the content of the letter:
We also wish to advise you that your temporary resident status expired on December 11, 2024. You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident status, you submit: • a completed application form; • applicable fees for restoration and for the immigration document(s). Payments should be made online at www.cic.gc.ca. When you are finished, you must print the receipt of payment and include it with your application. • all required documents in support of your application.
Please assist me with the following:
What are the necessary step I need to follow please.
The PGWP is supposed to expire by 08-Jan-2025 but it mentioned here expires 11-Dec-2024.
Will this impact my PR application, I just got AOR last month and not update on medical till date.
Also, do I have to stop work immediately?
Do I need to contact OINP to renew my nomination?
Thank you very much

Looks like they refused your application in error. Try to call them and ask what’s going on . Also submit reconsideration request.
Thank you @miss bee> I will give them a now if not close otherwise tomorrow and I will give a feedback.
Hello @Miss bee . I have the IRCC now and the person mentioned the following:
- According to LMIA exempt letter, the person must Educational degree related to the work. The applicant does not provide any educational degree related to this job.
I have a bachelor degree in Computer Science outside Canada and Diploma in Project Management here in Canada but I have been in working in construction industry for almost 10years and this is why I have chosen the NOC related to Construction and got approved. I am not sure if I submitted my bachelor degree or not, however it's not fully related to my work experience in Construction and I didn't see that LMIA exempt letter state this condition.
Kindly advise.
@Miss bee
May I also add that, I work as Project Control Analyst and the most aligned roles is under Construction Manager NOC. As a Project Control Analyst, my degree in Computer Science helped me navigate as the job rely mostly (70%) on software usage and others are coordination, Planning, Scheduling and managing people.
Can I raise a webform and submit this as an explanation or what is your advise please? I explained this when I submitted my OINP application and got approval but did not for work extension.
Thank you for your continuous support.
Update:
While I checked my imm57710e form I found out that I did not listed my Bachelor Degree with the aim that Diploma in Project Management obtained in Canada will be sufficient. I have raised a webform with letter of reconsideration/explanation and attached my degree certificates with WES and received automated receipt.
In the event I didn't receive response from them before the expiration of current work permit by January what should be my next course of action please?
Should I stop working? Should I reapply?
My current nomination certificate already expired.

Based on the GCMS notes you received, here’s a detailed analysis of your PR application status:
Summary of Assessments
1. Eligibility: Passed
This indicates that your qualifications, job offer, and other eligibility factors have been successfully verified and meet the program’s requirements.
• Date Passed: October 8, 2024
• Office: Winnipeg IRCC
• Flag: PM01 suggests the eligibility was reviewed under regular protocols and found satisfactory.
2. Security: Not Started
This is typically one of the final steps in processing. Security checks can take variable time as they are often handled by other agencies.
3. HIRV (Human/International Rights Violation): Not mentioned in your notes; likely not applicable.
4. Criminality: Passed
Criminal background checks have been completed and cleared.
5. Medical: Passed
Medical validity is confirmed, which aligns with your prior update on passing medicals in October.
6. Info Sharing: Complete
Information sharing with partner agencies (e.g., RCMP, CSIS, or international partners) has been finalized.
Notes Section
• Note 1 (Eligibility Review):
• Created on October 8, 2024, by Winnipeg IRCC.
• Confirms eligibility is marked as passed, which aligns with the “Eligibility: Passed” status in assessments.
• Note 2 (General Review):
• Created on September 6, 2024, by Windsor IRCC.
• A program assistant reviewed your file and indicated it was ready to finalize as per the note.
• PNP Triage: Select Triage: Suggests that your case was prioritized under a specific workflow for PNP applications.
Your application seems to be in its final stages. Since all major assessments (Eligibility, Criminality, Medical) are passed, the pending steps include:
1. Security Clearance: Still marked as “Not Started.” However, in many cases, it might already be underway without being updated in GCMS.
2. Final Decision: Once security is cleared, your file can move toward final approval.
Next Steps
• Patience with Security Checks: Security clearance timelines are variable. IRCC relies on external agencies, so this step can take some time.
• Monitor Updates: Keep checking the GCKey portal and PR tracker for updates. Sometimes, PR tracker reflects progress not shown in GCMS notes.
• File Transfer: Your application is currently under Ottawa SVO, but notes reference Windsor and Winnipeg IRCC. This indicates collaborative processing across offices.
