Hello @legalfalcon

I applied under PNP program paper based applications. Since day one BGC status showing in my GC key is " We are processing your background check "

Few days back I received my gcms notes and it's showing as per below

Eligibility : Passed
Criminality : Passed
Security : Not started
Medical : Passed

1. as per above status BGC check is completed or still in process??

2. Background check & security check both are same process or different?? I'm little confuse about it so can you pls make some clarification regarding this.

Thanks in advance

Quick question behalf of my friend

In year 2015 he was applied for visitors visa with Retail sales supervisor job title (Noc code 6211) & it was rejected. So now he applied for sinp paper based applications and in work experience he mention in the year of 2015 Retail Merchandise (Noc code 6222). So it will make any negative impact on application. Please advice for him

His status as per gcms notes from last month

Eligibility : Passed
Criminality : Passed
Medical : Passed


Thanks in advance

How long does it take a security check take at 2020? I have been waiting for more than ~ 9 months (~ 20 months from the date of application) .. And still nothing - Agent say: Security is in progress.

Thanks

The following is the general advise from one of my previous posts, read it accordingly.

If you file any application with IRCC, TRV, WP, PR etc, any of them can be looked into to review your current application and any inconsistency can be a cause of misrepresentation. All applications have to be consistent, and if they are not, a reason on why you omitted the information has to be provided. (changing NOC codes is not an issue and does not amount to misrepresentation).

Now I will not be deliberating that if the prior application was refused, why it should be looked into again, or you file a TRV before and you did not disclose an employment but subsequently claimed pints for it in PR and got a PPR without any issues. This is all anecdotal. Just because someone was not caught, does not make him innocent.

They law is clear, while applications for different types of status engage different considerations, it does not necessarily flow that statements made in temporary residence applications cannot affect subsequent permanent residence applications (or vice versa). In Suri v. Canada , the court found that the Officer’s concerns vis-à-vis the contradictions between the Applicants’ temporary and permanent applications were reasonable and based on that the applicant's misrepresentation ban was upheld.

Federal courts have ruled on this numerous times.

Read - Suri v. Canada available at http://canlii.ca/t/grvwt

Similarly, in the case of In Goburdhun v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2013 FC 971 at para 28, Justice Strickland summarized the key considerations outlined in the jurisprudence, including the fact that paragraph 40(1)(a) is to be given a broad interpretation, capturing misrepresentations even if made by a third party such as a consultant, without the knowledge of the applicant (see also Wang v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2015 FC 647 at para 25). The only exception to this rule is narrow and applies in the truly extraordinary circumstances where an applicant honestly and reasonably believed that they were not misrepresenting a material fact and knowledge of the misrepresentation was beyond the applicant’s control.

Hello @legalfalcon Sir,

Also I found in gcms top right corner s.16(1)(c) on Notes section & s.17 on EDOCS section.

Thanks in advance

BGC is a generic name for criminality, security and info sharing. Criminality and security are two different stages. Security starts inly after your eligibility is passed. So if you are ins security, then yes, it is the last stage. However, security can take 3-5 weeks to 2 years for some.
