Process in CPP Ottawa - What happens there ?

[immigrationaspirant]

So during the last stages of your processing your file is transferred from CIO- NS to CPP- Ottawa. I am curious as to what part of processing takes place there ? CIO- NS does the paper work and eligibility assessment. So what role does CPP-Ottawa play ? Do they only do Background or Criminality checks ? This seems to be another time consuming stage. CIO-NS sends the files to CPP-Ottawa after RPRF fees is paid. Any input or any knowledge on this topic ?

hi immigrationaspirant,

CIO in sydney nova scotia is only a centralized intake office their role is to check for application completeness such as forms filled properly and signed,documents and processing fees provided,if everything is there then they issue a file number telling you that your file is transfered to cpp-ottawa,CIO sometimes ask for RPRF for some provincial nominee categories.
cpp-ottawa is a visa office where they check for ELIGIBILITY and admissibility(crmininality-security and medical).
when your file is moved to cpp-ottawa it will be reviewed by a visa officer in the order its received,if they approve your application after the eligibility and admissibility are done then the visa and confirmation of permanent residence is issued by cpp-ottawa.
so keep in mind CIO does not do eligibility neither admissibility checks.

good luck

Canadavisa so you mean they basically do the Medicals-Criminality and Background run. I thought if they wanted you to undergo further tests or something like that, they would generally let the applicant know once the Medicals have been received by them. I would understand if they ask you for additional papers like the Police certificates or want you to undergo fingerprinting and things like that, but Medical I doubt. So is Eligibility and Admissibility two different things ? Would you mind elaborating a little as I thought CIO-NS does eligibility runthrough and CPP-Ottawa does Background check.

 

[canadavisa13]

yes eligibility and admissibility are differents,eligibilty means they will check to see if you meet the program criteria to become a PR and yes this is done at cpp-ottawa like i said earlier CIO is not a visa office they do not process applications hence the do not finalize them.
yes cpp-ottawa can ask for additional medical tests if they need to.but if you have not heared anything from your doctor since you did medicals you should be fine because doctor will have to inform you if there is any problems with your medical results.

So that means that even if you already have a file number, there is still a chance that an applicant is ineligible for his applied category? I all along thought that if you got your file number from CIO you are already eligible for that category you applied. Thank you.

file number never indicate eligibility passed,re-reade your AOR carefully and you will understand what it means if you have one.

I haven't applied yet for PR. Hopefully this month before the new ruling about dependents will take effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Thank you.

good luck my friend

Thats good to know, but I was under the impression that one passes his/her eligibility test once he or she receives a Medical request. It would be frustrating to have your file refused after all the rigamarole of going through medical, waiting for Police certificates and so on. I thought they deal with your documentation and Program specifications once the file reaches them.

This is what I gathered from a previous thread -

Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress". All docs been checked & our NOC being tallied against the MI, if the VO finds our case 'eligible' for Canadian PR, the file becomes 'Accepted'; and then it goes for standard background checks, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc. The VOs have a way with that, they are experienced enough to ascertain the logical disposition of our case. But, if there are any concerns of his/her, s/he is likely to ask for additional docs, do further scrutiny vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 3-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.

Is the process any different from what this person describes. I will order my GCMS notes soon anyway to find out if they have recd my RPRF fee.

Also, if one is applying for an Open Grad Work Permit, the CIC office checks whether the person received a positive feedback from CIO-NS in the form of the “Eligibility EC-QC/PNP” status has been set to “Passed” or the Acknowledgment of Receipt letter/e-mail has been sent by the Centralized Intake Office (CIO).

Any thoughts on this ?

immigrationaspirant,

it is not open grad permit,its BOWP(bridgin open work permit)the operational manual clearly indicates that an applicant can apply for it after receiving an AOR(acknowledgement of receipt) from CIO not necessarily he or she has to pass.
i have already told you that medical exam is under admissibility not eligibility so for PNP applicants the medical request comes from CIO along with aor or shortly after.
if you applied under another category such as cec or fsw you will get medical request from cpp-ottawa not CIO and it is a positive sign that your file has been reviewed by a visa officer and found eligible under the category for which its applied under.
if you are a PNP and have already received your nomination i don't see why you are worried as long as you don't have a criminal record or serious medical condition then you should be good to go.

one last IMPORTANT advice,if you do not trust what forum members share here you should consider consulting a lawyer and stop your unnecessary messages.
you sound like a big headed and you are stuck up with one idea in your mind,so bother asking questions here.
i also have noticed in your posts lack of formality and respect,you don't even thank forum members for helping you by answering your topics.

anyway good luck with your application.

 

[canadavisa13]

just to add AOR is considered positive feedback because it indicates that your application is complete in terms of forms-documents and processing fees based upon the requirements of the Instructions and Regulation 10 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
it clearly indicate that eligibility set to passed OR aor email has been sent by CIO hence the OR those are two different cases.
if you apply for GCMS you will see under eligibility section that is not started at the CIO.

hello Canadavis13, I am sorry for being so ungrateful. But I assure you I never meant to be mean or disrespectful in anyway. But "Wow", wasn't expecting that. I thought I gave you a (+) rating for your input. I am just trying to ensure that I won't have to repeat the process as I am waiting on my wife whose visa was refused as the VO believed that she would not leave, and obviously one of the main reasons why I am trying to convince myself that everything is fine so me and my wife can reunite. Thanks for the feedback again.

 

[canadavisa13]

you are welcome,im not offended or anything and i appreciate your +1,same goes for you.
and you soon going to see your wife here as pr and live the canadian dream happily together,as a pnp nominee you should be fine as long as you and your wife plus dependent if you have any doesn't have a criminal record or serious medical condition then pr is just a matter of time now.

 

[immigrationaspirant]

Thanks for the encouraging words Canadavisa
