If a decision on the PFL has been made, then your application should move. However, it seems that no decision has been made. Have you request your GCMS notes and if yes, do you see any note with regard to the PFL?
Thanks for your prompt response.

Yes, we ordered the GCMS notes. We saw a note on May 14 2020 which was when they sent the PFL. We then see a note on May 22 2020 with the following text:
Received: pfl response see incoming assigned to officer

We were not able to find any other notes regarding PFL. Is there anyway to move forward with this?

Thanks.

As per the notes, a decision on the PFL has not been made. What is the date of generation of your GCMS notes. See the bottom of any page.

The GCMS notes were generated on July 17, 2021. Should we supplement with any additional documents or is it just a matter of waiting? The concern is that it has been over 14 months since we provided the PFL response.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
Is it a good idea to upload the COVID vaccination proof via a webform so that IRCC is aware of the same. I am fully vaccinated and hence the question.

@legalfalcon : Any thoughts on the same? Even though IRCC has not asked this, can we go ahead and inform IRCC about it? Do you see any benefits of doing this in terms of the processing of PR application?
@legalfalcon : Any thoughts on this please?

If you renewed the passport, all valid visas in the expired passport remain valid. When you travel you will have to carry both, the expired passport with the valid visa and the new passport.

Hi @legalfalcon,

Is medicals and background check for student visa same as medical and background check?

I applied for studnet visa before getting nomination so was wondering if I have to redo medical and also if they dig further for pr.

I do have dui charge from 5 years ago which I applied for rehabilitation and got confirmation it is in process. Will that cause issues until they give out confirmation of rehabilitation from Canadian government?

Thank you again

Hi @legalfalcon,

I am really in a strange situation, please help me out.

I have applied for Express entry under CEC got invitation and submitted all my documents.
But after 3 months passed for AOR, and found that the Eligibility got 'Review required' and Visa officer deducted 50 points for the job offer(got to know via GCMS notes).

"Case analyst has recommended 'Review required' PA has been advised of the temporary nature of his employment in Canada , and the letter does not specify employment of at least one year after the PR granted."
By saying so, he deducted my 50 points, this means I am unable to meet the minimum CRS score.


Now my question is,

1.Can I, Withdraw this current application and file a new EE profile by deducting 50 job offer points? . after submitting the webform immediately?

2. Or Can I, Create a new EE profile under CEC and get into the pool and start a new application without withdrawing old one?
OLD application will stay on its course and new one will start its own.

Please help...thanks in advance.

Hello @legalfalcon

I got my GCMS notes from CSIS and they mailed it to my house instead of emailing me. I applied for Citizenship Grant but my file is stuck in security. I don’t even know when the security was started. All that I know is my criminality is passed after fingerprints. Its saying my security screening is still in progress and they don’t have to do disclosure by virtue of S21, 22(1)a and 22(1)b. The reason I requested these notes was to know when security started. I got GCMS notes from CBSA but they have a shorter version of notes now which doesn’t show when security started. CSIS notes used to show when they received the request to do security. I have a question related to Citizenship process when does the screening start at time of AoR, in process or after criminality is passed. I appreciate your time with this query. Please reply. Thank you

Thanks @legalfalcon since my mother's visitor visa is valid till January next year which is around 4 months. I doubt she'll able to travel with the visa. In that case, should I have to apply for a fresh visitors visa again from scratch or is there any way to apply for extension?

Hi @legalfalcon , appreciate if you could advise on this query. With regards to medicals, I did my medicals on May 6 2020 but it was passed on July 17th 2020. So considering medicals have a validity of one year has my medicals expired on May 5th 2021 or July 16th 2021?
