Dear Friends/Seniors,

I submitted my e-APR in April 2018, its been more than a year, no updated. Ordered my GCMS notes and needed your help with the following;

In the ASSESSMENT Section it says
Eligibility: Passed
Security:
HRIV:
Criminality:
Passed
Org Crime:
Medical:
Passed
Misrepresentation:
Info Sharing:
Complete
Other Reqs:
Final:


In ADMISSIBILITIES (page 37) section it is BLANK, withheld to section 15(1) and 19(1), and on next blank page on top right corner s 15(1) is written.

In my EE Profile it says:
Review of eligibility: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of additional documents: We are reviewing the additional documents you provided.
Background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

In GCMS notes:
Only Eligibility, Criminality, Medical and Info sharing is complete/passed. Rest are empty.
In EE Profile:
Eligibility is still in progress and also background checks

Please advise does it mean I am stuck at security and everything else is passed and fine? Or there is something wrong as EE profile and GCMS notes dont match! Very confused and scared!


Thanks very much in advance!

Kind Regards

HI, My application is FSW-Outland. What is the cheapest way to apply for GCMS? gcmsbuddy fees is $10 USD. Any other cheaper option?
The notes have all your important information. Don't look for a website which is cheap. make sure the party you use should comply with PIPEDA.
The one i recommend does.
If you have a friend in Canada, ask him/her to file it for you.

Hello Friends,

Today I have received my GCMS notes.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1x-ztaJ9nDkZZykAToU-qjTPwSo5ADeA6

As per my notes, review required for my funds. Is it recommended to upload new set of POF or should I wait for ADR ?

FSW-O , AOR 21st October.

Thanks
RR for POF might be because the funds are not in Cash or are in foreign currency. You need not upload anything. Upload anything only after you are requested by IRCC. I don't think so. you will get a ADR depending on what you submitted as your POF.

Thanks for reply. As part of proof of funds , I did provide following documents :

1) Current balance and 6 months average balance on bank letter head
2) 6 months bank statement
3) 80% of funds are from my salary so provided 6 months salary slip as well
4) 20 % of funds are from shares which I sold and deposited money in Bank. Added sale receipt of it in POF documents

Thanks

This looks good. This is a regular review, don't do anything until or unless you get an ADR.
