As per IRCC policy this is what happens -

An applicant may have a birthday after they receive an ITA but before they submit their e-APR. Their change in age may lower their CRS score below the lowest score in the round of invitations. It may also result in the applicant no longer meeting the minimum requirements of the FSWC and, consequently, no longer meeting the MEC, resulting in a refusal based on section A11.2.

When a change in age results in the candidate no longer meeting the MEC or having their recalculated CRS points score fall below the lowest points score in that round of invitations, officers should consider applying the public policy to exempt applicants for permanent residence from certain age-based requirements between invitation to apply and application, based on section A25.2. This consideration can result in an exemption from the refusal of an application under section A11.2.

This public policy also grants an exemption to applicants who may be refused for failing to meet FSWC program requirements when their birthday occurs between the ITA and e-APR.


If your case falls in the above and still there is a score deduction, then you should immediately raise a CSE and inform them. If after the lower score you are still over the MEC and the CRS, there is nothing to worry.

Thanks for the quick revert.
May 17 is when I got ITA and 415 was the lowest CRS in that round. My current CRS after the deduction is 433 and I think I am alright. Do you think I should still raise the CSE?.

Hi buddy, I am June 20 AOR (PNP-O) and didn't received any update yet (No medical pass, UCI, Adr..) I see all June and almost all July have cleared medicals already, do you know what can be the reason? I don't understand why they didn't start to process my application yet. Thanks!

You should not be asked to pay for your Canadian child's PR fee. You can raise a technical query and get this sorted out.

Thanks a lot .. I will raise a technical difficulties...

One more query..
There is a change in the surname of my wife.. After couple of years of marriage, we decided to change her last name from her family name to my family name.

Her old passport is on her family name and ECA, IELTS and PCC are done on that. New passport is having my family name. Do i need to upload any other document or just both passport, marriage certificate and LOE is enough ?

I heard, people are making a affidavit for the same. Kindly advise.

Thanks

@legalfalcon
I am FSW Outland and my timeline is:
AOR 22 Feb
Medicaid passed 8 march
NA2 28 April
Rprf 2 may

There has been no change post rprf mail on 1st may. Few months ago due to technical glitch the additional documents section showed 'additional docs required' but no mail or message ever came. I wrote to CIC couple of times but nothing from their end.

It's been 177 days post AOR for us, can you please help me understand
1. Why is it taking them so long (28 April is more than 3.5 months)
2. What do they do in BG IP2?

Would really appreciate your input on this. Thank you very much

The IP1 and IP2 business and speculation is all anecdotal and irrelevant. Instead you should see at what stage your application is at. Has it cleared eligibility? That is the key. If yes, then has the security started? Are you stuck in security screening.

This is what you should be looking at. To read on the stages of EE - https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

And you should get GCMS note, that will help you ascertain where your application is.

@legalfalcon

I have not received my notes yet.
I ordered it on 17th July and they asked for new consent form to be filled as it had only my digital signature. Do you know from prior cases how long does it take to receive the notes?

Thanking you in advance.

If you were asked to re-file your consent from, it adds a few extra days. If you filed your request on July 17, then you should be receiving in next week.

One more question legalfalcon, after landing, are there any updates which come in online profile? Or the profile remains same that your application has been approved.

There will be no updates on your online account after you receive your CoPR>

[legalfalcon]

Thanks LegalFalcon.
It was not in anticipation but I was planning to move from my current job. Since the PR is being processed, kinda wanted it not to suffer coz of the move. So I can move and notify them after that regardless of a PPR or not

YEs.

The public policy is only applied when your CRS or MEC falls below the minimum required.

No need to raise CSE. The policy is clear and you are fine.

The PNP is very slow and I have seen applicants waiting for 3-4 months just to start processing. There is nothing much you can do. A few things you can do are:

1. Ask which visa office your file is at.
2. Order GCMS notes
3. Raise CSE

The marriage certificate and LoE are sufficient.

Only include the name, not the title. Most passports will not allow the title, if your country does, then do not include it.

Thank you so very much for your advice. Wishing you the very best in life!

As per gcms ordered on 30 june
Medical: passed
Criminality: passed
Eligibility: recommended passed
Security: not started

Will complete 6 months on 22 aug, so not sure if now is the right time to order gcms as it will come only by 20th sept

Yeah that was until a few weeks ago, now people is starting to pass medicals in less than a month, that's why I asked, because seems like all June and almost all July passed medicals or received some update.

I called and sent email and they couldn't tell me anything because I even don't have UCI yet, so the GCMS and CSE doesn't make sense right now.

Thanks anyway.

Dear @legalfalcon
I am not using my spouse education for points do I still have to upload his degrees?

 

[pitico55]

Multiple documents is the generic term used as many people have passports and identity cards form their countries. If you only have a passport, just scan and upload it, all pages. If you have an online passport with visas or arrival and departure stamps, then that should be included too.

@legalfalcon
Just wondering
Are all pages of the current passport need to be uploaded or just the pages with visas and stamps?
