Hey @legalfalcon,

I am under immense pressure currently and getting nervous regarding my PR application. Let me explain you my case in detail:

Applied with Spouse and I am the primary applicant.
My ECA Summary says - 2 Bachelors Degree each of 4 years
My IELTS score is - L/R/S/W : 8.5/9/7.5/7
NOC Code - 0601 (Sales Manager)
Experience claimed for - 3 years and 4 months
Age - 31 when applied
Wife's ECA Summary says - 2 Bachelors Degree each of 4 years
Wife's IELTS score is - L/R/S/W : 7.5/7.5/7/6
POF Shown - CAD 19000; (Required is CAD 15331 for 2 applicants)
TOTAL CRS is - 461; got invited on June 25th when the cut off was 445

My AOR is 14th August 2018,
When I emailed Ralph Goodale on 29th October to know my status update, he mentioned -

"your file is at "Sydney Nova Scotia and your Eligibility was not met and Background Check and Criminaltiy check have not been initiated"

Then I called up CIC customer care and the lady said the exact thing and told that my eligibility was not met and is under review.

I am worried as to why I was not able to meet the eligibility in spite of providing all the right documents and claiming right points? What do you think could be the primary reason. I also showed my work experience of two companies as 'Sales Manager AND Manager - Business Development' respectively and made sure that my duties and responsibilities matches the NOC.

Quite concerned right now. I ordered GCMS notes last week and awaiting a detailed report as to what happend. However do you think a case analyst sometimes can make mistakes or don't get into detailing of NOC and its the VISA officer who would have the last say? Do I have any chance?

Please help.
Very strange.. u filled thru some agent?! Who is Ralph goodale by the way?

Dear @legalfalcon,

Thank you so much for your response. After doing more research, I have realized that I made a mistake selecting the NOC code in my PR application. I know that it looks so silly mistake for a such big thing. I would like to rectify this ASAP. Can you please give me input for this issue? I guess that I need to raise a CSE and provide LOE but anything else I can do so that this doesn't affect me in negative way.

Please advise. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!
V
You can raise a CSE and provide additional documents or replacement documents. Considering them is at the discretion of the officer.

Dear @legalfalcon
can you please advice
is there any difference between bring forward date and due date in cic processing of application
It is more of less the same. Due date is a system generated date, where as the bring forward date is manually entered by an officer

Thanks a lot @legalfalcon.

Finally, I’ve obtained a job reference letter from my supervisor. I will be extremely grateful if you can review and suggest which NOC is most suitable to me 0122 or 6235. Or even 1114 if that’s an option. Thanks again!

Hello @legalfalcon

I am submitting my application in few days. I have some doubts regarding history section. Please advise.

For travel history, how we should make entries? Is it departing from india and arriving in usa or departing from india and departing from usa?
I have left US on Jan 2017 and staying and working in India since then. So should i select this trip as ongoing?

Also the entries from and to is leaving india to us and coming back to india (stamps) or leaving india and landing in USA?

For example, I left Apr 15 2016 from US and reached india on Apr 17 2016. I stayed for couple of months and returned back to US on July 7th 2016 (Indian stamp of departure was July 6th 2016)

So will the travel history entry be from Apr 15 2016 to Apr 17 2016 or Apr 15 2016 to July 7 2016?
  1. Personal history does not have days, just months and years. So how can we be accurate and not miss a day? Since i am answering yes to Statutory questions, i am filling schedule A form as well. So can i add days to personal history section on a separate sheet of paper or should i go ahead with only months and years as required?

  2. My indian address is not fitting in EE address history. Is it okay if the address is incomplete in EE ITA section?

  3. I am unable to download schedule A form, i am getting a pdf message. Any place where i can download?
Thanks a lot!

Be consistent, either pick up departure date of all, or arrival date for all entries.

IRCC is not concerned about the date, just month and year. If any information cannot be filled in the form, you can submit a LoE for it.

For schedule A - https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm5669e.pdf

@legalfalcon

Good day,

My crs score increased from 425 to 450, this is due to my three years of work experience. Technically my work experience will be 3 years on Dec 6, 2018 because I started on Dec 5, 2018. So I inputed Nov 2015 - Oct 2016; Dec 2016 - Present. I believe my score will qualify for the next draw, should I accept the ITA if ever I will be invited this month?? Or there will be problems involved??

Thank you.
IRCC calculates by months and not date. So you can sure accept the ITA of you meet the CRS by months/year. A few days up and down will not matter.

Hi Legalfalcon,

You have been a great help for so many people. If you could please help me with my query.

I have got a mail yesterday. Can you help me what do they mean by that and what could be the next step?


Your file has been transferred to Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada, Winnipeg office for processing. Your application is in an officer’s queue for processing and will be actioned immediately.

7 months ago my file was transferred to Vancouver office and then I got an additional documents request (Updated Job Letter). And yesterday I got this mail. I am totally confused about what stage I am at and how long to wait
I have said it many times, VO is irrelevant. What matters is that your application is moving and not wt what VO it is. IRCC moves applications for administrative reasons.

Your should request GCMS notes and see where your application is at.

To read on how EE is processed, see
https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

Thanks. On marriage certificate only her new name is mentioned (that is new surname as mine). So will that work? How do they deduce that what was the older name?
You can explain it in LoE and submit documents one with a maiden name and one after marriage. Eg. education degree or an old passport.

@legalfalcon One more query on PoF

I received ITA in oct oct first week. Balance in my account was 1 lac on that day. My oct monthly salary was higher at approx 4.5 lacs and my nov salary wud wud be higher at approx 3 lacs. my regular salary is 1 lac.This higher salary is driven by RSU vesting in these months ( part of employment). my bank account shows high entries as follows -

Oct 20 - 3.5 lacs
Oct 31 - 1 lac
Nov 20 - 2 lacs
Nov 30 - 1 lac

i have a document from morgan stanley (US Broker) stating USD value of RSUs sold. Bank statement has just an entry in INR. what all prrofs shall i show to confirn this is my money?

Also, i wont hv good enough average balance - would that be an issue?

Hi @legalfalcon,
I received my gcms note today. the notes shows review required: A11.2 appears met, r87.1 review required. Why it shows that? Is it because my quebec residency? But in the gcms note I didn't see any concern about quebec residency.
R 87.1 is for CEC experience:

See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/economic-classes/experience/qualifying-work-experience.html

Read the notes and see if there is anything mentioned.

You need to wait for your GCMS notes and see the reason. Anything else is just speculation.

Thanks @legalfalcon . I have chosen NOC 6235 and will be submitting my profile today. Kindly if you could confirm if this covers/matches the description. Appreciate your time and help.
Its is not about what matches or not. IRCC only cares about whether your Job duties listed in the work reference letter substantially match that of the NOC selected. If they do, you are all good.
