@legalfalcon, I'd really appreciate your input on the following two questions.
Although I am a PNP candidate, without the 600 PNP points, my basic CRS score is 489. I would have still qualified me under CEC because a CRS 486 was the required minimum on the day I received my ITA.
My biometrics, medical exams, and eligibility as of May 16th are all finished. Background check information exchange is complete as of May 16; however, security and criminality do not begin until July 10.
Every time my wife or I phone the IRCC, the phone agents refuse to provide any information or explain why security hasn't yet been initiated, this irritates me. The agents advise us to wait the customary nine months for PNP processing. For April 7th AOR, 9 months stretches the deadline to January 6th, 2024. I have two questions.
1) Can I request that IRCC disregard my PNP and consider only my base score of 489 and ultimately move me to CEC? The reason I want that is because that way, at least, I can expect a result by August 7th, 2023, instead of IRCC forcing me to wait until January 2024.
2) Also, I got GCMS notes last Friday, and I see that the assigned officer is CM01967 on the first page of the GCMS notes. As per the below CBC article, CM01967 was last active in February 2022, which is 20 months ago. Is there a way I can demand IRCC change my application assignment to active officer or move out of CIO-Sydney
