aa lot of people had the BG changed to not needed at this time from in progress. The GCMS notes indicate that this was due to file transfer and nothing else. quite a few people had the same thing
 
Just a quick question, for Canadian work experiences that used to claim points building EE profile, will I get into trouble if I forgot to upload my notice of assessments from CRA within my employment record document? I only uploaded my employment letter, all pay stubs, original offer from employer and all the T4 I have.
Thanks guys !

long waiting Doda, i wonder is ur file transferred to you local vo, and is the security check included any phone calls to ur employer? and please tell, if u know, what exactly they do during security check?

It did transfer before the last 2 months wait for security checks. These check don't do anything with employer, but rather with security issues and red flags regarding your applications, such as terrorism and espionage. The employment check is done during the eligibility check.
 
Hi Friends,

i submitted e-apr on 2nd Apr (2 days ago), today i got request letter mentioning the requirement of signed copy of IMM 5474 (release of personal information to designated individual). my previous e-APR was rejected because of PCC issue. now in IMM 5474 form there are 3 fields which i don't know what to fill out.

Hi @Doda or anyone else, is the 'Eligibility Check' complete when an applicant's 'Background Check' status changes from 'In Progress' to 'Not Needed at this Time'? The reason I ask is that I have a good social relationship with my employers both working in Canada and in Australia. When I have talked to them and just dropped in the question about whether CIC contacted them they said 'No'. I feel quite embarrassed as I told them to possibly expect a call from CIC regarding verifying employment history in relation to my Canadian PR application. the same goes for my Bank Manager in Canada who I have a good relationship with. When I told my employers and bank manager they could possibly expect a call in relation to the employment verification letter/Proof of Funds letter I was being genuine.

I am assuming that either they don't call employers/bankers during a background check or they call them after 'Security & criminality' is passed.

Can you please give me your perspective? Thanks in advance of your reply.

Would you mind sharing the cause of your rejection due to PCC?

Hi JoacRy,

From what I understood from my notes that yes, my employment check was concluded before my BG Check turned into not need at this time. I too got paranoid and call my past employers and they confirmed that no one called them. My conclusion is the officer will do their research, I would say Google, to figure how genuine you are.

Hi Doda, thank you very much for your reply. Assuming that what you have said is correct I am presumably at the 'Security & criminality' stage with a long wait ahead of me.

Appreciate the clarification.

Hi Friends,

Received OINP Nomination: 23 Feb
eAPR Submitted: 17 March

Applied for FBI PPC: 11 March.
FBI PCC deadline from IRCC: 23 May (I will apply for extension in the last week of April).
Expected date of FBI PCC: First week of July.

Status of my Express Entry profile: ITA Received.
Expiration date on OINP nomination letter: 22 August
Also, OINP nomination letter mentions Express Entry number of above profile.


My question is:
In case my current eAPR is rejected, How can I use OINP nomination in a Express Profile (old or new), so that I can get 2nd ITA ?

Please point me to discussion thread of similar cases.
