Hi Legalfalcon,
In the application for visitor visa for Canada our travel agent had mentioned my wife's status as homemaker since 2014(same mentioned for UK and US by the agent previously). In the PR application made on 28th Feb we have specified her work history from March 2011 - Feb 2016) with letter, tax returns & bank records (all can be verified), since we were filling the form ourselves. The application is in eligibility review required since June. Kindly let know that will this create an issue (Misrepresentation), if so, what can be done. Thanks.

My notes say that R.10, Criminality, and Eligibiltiy are all cleared, I started SS in September 22nd. Only a few days ago has my BG check status changed to Not Applicable.

What is your R10 pass date?

 

[legalfalcon]

I did not provide the declaration from my spouse while submitting the application because I wasn't aware. I raised a CSE later with a declaration signed by my spouse that she is accompanying spouse in the application and funds in her account are to be used for Canada PR. It's not an Affidavit, just a signed declaration on a normal paper. Should it be fine? My current application status is NA2 and additional documents section Says "we do not require additional documents." request your further comments on this.

Ideally it should have been a declaration under oath, but PoF is not a strict requirement and if need by, IRCC will ask you for additional documents. You need not worry.

@legalfalcon how can I order Gcms notes if I live in Pakistan? Please advice.

Hi @legalfalcon,

Need urgent advice on a personal situation. I'v been married for 4 years and recently me and wife have decided to part ways amicably. We've filed for a divorce via mutual consent and have first motion completed. I have got the court's interim order copy which states that divorce will be granted after completion of 6 months of statutory waiting period (will end in Feb 2018).

Got my ECA and IELTS sorted and presently have accumulated CRS of 456. While creating EE profile, I can see an drop down 'Separated' option listed under the marital status header.

- Can I proceed by choosing the above option (Court order proves that I am indeed separated) and enter the pool?

- If the divorce gets delayed in future due to any reason, will it create any complications during processing of my application like VO asking me to provide proof of divorce before granting PR?

Any guidance will be appreciated in this regards.

Legally separated and Divorce are entirely two different things. Under the Indian law the 6 months period is provided to think about it and have a possibility to reconcile if possible. However, recently the Supreme Court of India has clarified that the 6 months waiting period is not mandatory, and the family court can waive it.

See http://www.livelaw.in/six-months-waiting-period-in-section-13b2-of-hindu-marriage-act-for-divorce-by-mutual-consent-not-mandatorysc-read-judgment/

So you can ask your lawyer to file an application and get it waived, but that is your personal decision.

As regards the immigration, if your are married, even though separated, you will have to provide the medicals and passport of your spouse. Only after you divorce, it is not required. Further, the same rule applies to children. If you have a child from the wedlock, you will have to provide the child's medicals and passport, irrespective of they accompanying you. This is waived only when the divorce decree clearly states that you do not have the custody of the child.

So to start you can say separated, and then change it to divorced when you get the final court decree.

Question, I was discussing with my wife, she did not tell me that she was refused SPASS in Singapore 9 years back. Now we answered NO to the statutory questions. Can we still raise CSE for this and upload the schedule A as well as an LOE for the changes? I am afraid of being found misrepresentation as I was not aware that it happened.

Yes, you can submit another Schedule A visa CSE, and explain it in LoE along with it..

Hi @legalfalcon !

I applied for PR under FSW program via Express Entry in January 2016 and have been waiting ever since on decision. I have been on student visa and then work visa in the US for few years.

I recently applied for gcms notes from IRCC, CSIS and CBSA.

In IRCC notes everything looks ok except under Info Sharing (Type:Biographic) it says "System Error" for myself. For my spouse, the same Info Sharing says NRT.
Other information is as follows:

Eligibility: Passed
Criminality: Passed
RCMP Screening: Passed
Medical: Passed - Expired
Info Sharing: System Error
Number of Security Screening Activities under Activity: 5 (1 security + 4 security screening)

Also, according to CSIS notes, they issued advice about one year ago.

I am still waiting on CBSA notes to arrive.

Would you please suggest if delay in processing of PR application is because of System Error in Info Sharing? Do you happen to have any suggestions if there are any additional documents that I can send to IRCC to resolve this issue? Or do you think there might be some other issues?

Hi @legalfalcon


Received my GCMS notes yesterday that I applied through getgcms exactly on the 30th day. It's a 203 page document. Everything seems ok. On the first or second page under Assessment, Eligibility, Criminality and Medicals all are passed. Program Assistant Review, then Case Analyst Review and finally Officer Review all seem alright. Officer wrote 'satisfied' as the final word in his Review. However, I would appreciate your comments regarding the following issues in my GCMS notes:

1. The Case Analyst in his/her review wrote in bold letters that he/she could not verify one of the employers' website as it might have been hacked (I have 3 employers). He/she, however, was satisfied with the employment based on the reference letter and accepted it. The Officer in his review wrote 'concern regarding employment noted'. However, he/she also accepted the employment based on the reference letter and finally wrote that he/she was satisfied with everything.

Is the above an issue?

2. About halfway through the notes, under OTHER REQS it is written:

A39-A41

Type: Non-compliance
Status: Not Started
Status Updated Date: 2017/08/31


Does it mean anything?


3. On the second page under ASSESSMENTS:


Eligibility: Passed
Security:
HIRV:
Criminality: Passed
Org Crime:
Medical: Passed
Misrepresentation:
Info Sharing: Complete
Other Reqs: Not Started
Final:


Is everything ok?


4. Under the ACTIVITIES Section:


First 3 Activities are 'Security Screening' with Field Name: Status. In the 3rd one it is written 'Not Started', but no date. The 4th Activity is 'Security'.


Does it necessarily mean, as per popular notion, that my file has been picked for additional verification popularly known as 'Security Screening' and that my processing is going to be exceptionally delayed (e.g. another 6-18 months)?



My Timeline:

FSWO
VO: Ottawa
AOR: 16 June 2017
Meds Passed: 11 Jul 2017
So called IP2: 25 Oct 2017
GCMS notes generated: 16 Nov 2017
GCMS notes received: 6 Dec 2017


Your kind response shall be highly appreciated as always!


Thanks!

Thanks. Even if I am already in NA2 is it still okay?

 

[legalfalcon]

Thanks. Even if I am already in NA2 is it still okay?

There is no stage as NA2. All applications go through the following:

R10
Criminality
Medicals
Eligibility
Security

To read more on them see
https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

IS you are making a guess based on your MyCIC as to if you have cleared eligibility, its a GUESS.

Thanks!

All GCMS notes will have 4 Security Screening activities. Some application get delayed usually get stuck at CBSA, they will see these activities at regular but delayed intervals.

As soon as you have the 4th SS, your security will be completed.
