When the GCMS notes are delayed, it does not necessarily mean anything adverse with the application. In most cases the application is transferred to the LVO and they do not respond to the GCMS request, which causes delay. In other cases the application may be in SS, which may cause a delay. But most delays are administrative. Happens only on less then 10% of the cases, but is not uncommon.

GET GCMS has inter protocols to send status requests and follow up emails when the GCM notes are delayed. As soon as they hear anything, they will promptly notify you. But stay in touch with them.

Thank you very much for responding. Highly appreciated!

IRCC does not rely on google search. It is a combination of searching company database, calling employer, etc. For this you will need to draft a succinct, consider and well written LoE to explain. Also, include documents you listed above.

This should be sufficient.

Hi @legalfalcon,

This text below is exactly what I've mentioned to them in my LOE and also I've attached all the documents that I had mentioned earlier.

In May 2013 I got an opportunity to work with Value Metrics as a Trainee Equity Analyst.
From then on I have been working at this company till date. I have been promoted to Equity
Analyst. I have mentioned about this work experience in my work history since I am claiming
points for this work experience. From May 2013 till date I have over 4 years of work
experience and I have attached proof of this work experience in attachments. I have attached
my offer letter, reference letter, 2 salary slip i.e. for June – 2013 and for May – 2017, bank
statement showing in which account and how much amount was credited to my account as
salary highlighted and also my proof of Income Tax paid in the last 3 years.

Is this work experience in Canada?

No, this part time work experience was in the U.K post graduation. I started my full time employment from June 2013 to present in Dubai, UAE which I had indicated accurately in the work experience. Please suggest how should I justify this period of January 2012 - April 2013.

(Option A)

- If I mention that I was unemployed during all these months in the ITA submission then it will invalidate the below statement I had marked as "No" (Ontario PNP submission):

Other Activities (excluding education and paid work)
Do you have any other activities, excluding education and paid work history, in the last ten years (or since the age of 18, if this was less than ten years ago)?

Yes
No

(Option B)

- Alternatively, If I provide the part-time jobs I did during this period (I had not claimed any points for this) it would again contradict with the work history I had provided earlier as this was omitted (Ontario PNP submission).

I trust it would of been best if I provided ALL employment history earlier in the Ontario submission, but had missed it out. Can you please advise me on how about to deal with this to complete the "Personal Activities" tab.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback and help.

Hello @legalfalcon , I got a question

I am at IP2 from last two days. I have seen people saying that case officer can review linkedin account also. In my linkedin account I have shown myself as employed during the period where I said I was unemployed in the application as that job does not contribute any points. Secondly, I have there my current job as research technician in Canada but I didn't raise the CSE for that one as it is not related to eligibility of the application. I just raised CSE for change of address from Pakistan to Canada.

Is there any think that could consider as misinterpretation? do i need to worry. What should I do. Please help

Thank you

Hi legalfalcon..

Our past travel from US to India via Dubai has departure stamp(from US) of 15 Nov and arrival stamp(in India) of 17 Nov..
so what do we do with 16 Nov..?we were traveling on 16 Nov..which address should we put?

Thank you in advance

1. If you are traveling with currency above the limit of 10K, then you need to show the source, such as a bank withdrawal, etc. The 10K limit is to curb money laundering. As long as you can show where the money came from you are good. However, as a rule of thumb if you carry a large sum of money, why not just wire transfer it.

For other points see http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/ttd-vdd-eng.html

Thanks for your reply. Can we pm about it ?

Hello legalfalcon, could u plz advice on the following....
1) applicant -cec inland
With experince 19 mnths by the end of this month
Applied for residency when the one year criteria is met and received COPr recently
So my question is does the applicant have to maintain a job offer (keep working) until the landing is completed...or employed or Can quit working and take a break for a while at any time ...
Or even this has to be notified as chnge is circumstance at the border or before landing through CSE...
Does this have any effect on citizenship application while filling personal histry or work History...

2) for inland applicants if the Proof of funds are ABOVE 10k during landing what are the measures to be taken...like i read somewhre it is considered laundering so only 10 k is allowed ...not sure but can u explain...
Thanks in advance

I have a concern. I have a credit card in a bank. But the accounts that I am showing for POF is of other banks and not the bank which the credit card is from. So I thought of not showing the credit card statements since it will affect my POF balance. But I'll be doing the online payments to IRCC from this credit card.

Will this be a concern to my application?

Hi @legalfalcon !

I am an FSW Outland applicant and my AOR is 14th June 2017. I had applied for my GCMS notes on 28th September through getgcms.com. But due to some unknown reason, I still havent received them even after 51 days. I have been in touch with the getgcms team through emails but am told that other than sending status requests/ reminders to IRCC, there's nothing more they can do. Even filing a complaint with the concerned authorities is paper based application and would entail a long time to process.

I am still within the 6 months processing time but have been in IP2 since early September.
I would appreciate if you can advice me on this and whether you suggest I reapply for the notes again with a fresh request so that the true status of my application is ascertained.

Your reply shall be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

P.S. Having read your responses and blogs, your work on this forum is commendable and highly appreciated!!!

HI @legalfalcon
I have few questions that I need more clarity on,

I recently completed my short landing and am a PR but currently living in India, however as I am getting married on 29th Nov, post wedding I would like to apply for Spousal sponsorship for my Fiancee and would like to know the best approach in doing so, so that she would become a PR in the least time possible.

I am aware that there are 2 categories under which we can file for spousal sponsorship
1) Applying for spousal sponsorship while spouse outside of Canada(Processing time 6-10 months at best)
2)Apply for spousal sponsorship while spouse in Canada (can take longer than 2 and go up to 3 years also)

I am planning to apply Visitor visa for Fiancee before the marital status changes(i.e before 29th Nov) as a proactive measure so that she would be able to travel when required, and post wedding apply for Spousal Sponsorship under the 1st category, so here is where I need some clarity to understand If Visitor Visa can have any implications

Coming to the questions now,

1)Say the Visitor Visa goes through, I apply for Spousal Sponsorship under Spouse outside Ca category while Priyanka is in India and and later she travels to Ca on Visitor Visa then would the application change internally and fall under the 2nd category because she is in Ca and as a result application processing would also take much longer per the updated category?

2)Can I sponsor for Spouse/Dependent while I am in India?(so that we can travel together once her PR issued, if in case the Visitor Visa doesn't go through)

3) will rejection of Visitor Visa have any bearing on Spousal sponsorship? Would this cause doubts/Concerns to the Visa office
the main reason being that we do not wanted to separated in the early stages of marriage due to Visa issues .

4)Is there a dependent Visa that we can apply so that she would be able to travel with me.

5)the reason we are applying for Visitor Visa before marriage is because I found out that applying for Visitor visa after marriage will result in automatic rejection. is this true?

Is there a better way so that we can travel together while her PR is being processed?

Thanks in advance

I have submitted my passport from dubai to be stamped one week back. And when I track it is still in Abu Dhabi. Is there a problem?

Hi @legalfalcon

Based on IRCC request we had submitted the detailed court record and police report for the case my husband had. The charges were withdrawn and all the documents does reflect the same. I have got another request for additional documents which states

"Please submit the court disposition on the decision to withdraw charges, and court records confirming that the conditions of the peace bond has been met. This must be received at this office by: 2017/11/23"

We did speak to the court and they have provided us with the same documents we got earlier as a detailed court record. Is there a way I can share the court record with you?

I just don't understand if the documents are exactly the same why IRCC is requesting them again with a different wording on additional doc request letter?
I really need your guidance.

Can you please PM me and we can take it from there.

 

[legalfalcon]

Thanks friend.

What about the affidavit for the Marriage certificate translation?

Affidavit from spouse to use the funds in the joint account?

For PoF see:
https://www.getgcms.com/blog/proof-funds-requirement-express-entry/


If your marriage certificate is not in English, then you will need the following documents:

1. Certified copy of the original
2. Translation of the original into english
3. Affidavit from the translator that the translation is true and correct.

My husband's work experience letter / roles and responsibilities letter is dated September 2016, still working in the same organisation.
Planning to submit the docs by November end, so can we upload the same letter,
@legalfalcon.

You can, there is no specific time limit, but its is of 2016. Ideally if you can get a current one, that would work better. A letter that old create doubts.
