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.

Thanks for your very prompt reply! What about the other points I mentioned from GCMS notes? Are those all alright?


Many thanks!

Yes, since your eligibility is passed, which is the biggest hurdle, you are all good.

You should have along with you the following documents:

1. Passport with the Canadian Visa
2. COPR (2 copies - one with a pic)
3. 2 additional pics
4. A copy of the proof of funds, if you submitted one in support of your EE application.

When you land at Toronto, you will be asked to go to the immigration when you will tell the officer that you are landing as a permanent Resident. They will send to another area where you will find a few others who are landing as PRs. The line will depend on how many flights have landed. It does not usually take long. If you are landing as a family, all of you can be togeather as a group.

When your turn comes you will be called by an immigration officer who will check your passport, stamp it, enter your record in the system, stamp the COPR and ask you to sign it in front of him. He will keep one copy of the COPR and give the other to you. Most immigration officers neatly fold it and staple it in the passport next to where you have your visa. During this time, he will also ask you questions about your health, how many dependents you have, and if you have been convicted of any crime. He might ask you for the address where you are living, if you have one, give it to him so that it can be added into the system. This is where your PR card will be shipped. If you do not have an address, you can tell him and then you will have to update it once you have it online through MyCIC. Make sure you update your address within 180 days of landing as a PR.

From here you will be sent to the customs where you will collect your baggage and meet a customs officer who will ask you about your lugauge. If you are carrying over $ 10K in cash you will need to declare it and also declare any jewellery you are bringing in along with food. Read the card carefully and when in doubt answer yes.

Since you are entering Canada you can bring goods of personal effect duty-free. Make sure if you are carrying anything on which duty can be imposed, you will need to fill BSF 186A (2 copies) http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/bsf186a-eng.html

If you need more space make copies of the form. If you have goods coming later, make copies of the form and keep it ready (2 copies).

Just be calm and the officers there are very friendly.

For further information read: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/after-checklist.asp

Once you are done with the customs and immigration there is a counter at the airport to apply for the Social Insurance Number. So make sure you apply there, which will depend on at what time your flight lands. If it's midnight, the Canada Service Centre (the agency that deals with the SIN) will be closed and you will have to go to the one closest to where you live. Their addresses are available online. If they are open, just do it there. It only takes a few minutes.

At the Pearson airport you will also see a lot of banking kiosks and you can even get an account opened, if you know which bank you would chose and have made up your mind.

It's a simple process and during this time you will be handed over a lot of written material explaining things to you. You will hear welcome to Canada a lot of times.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Hope this helps!

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 for the information. I have already raised CSE with the additional attachment.

Hi @legalfalcon,

As my LMIA-exempted WP for postdoc is in progress, along with SOWP and Child's Visitors Visa. Currently under review at VO Rome.

While waiting for PPR, I was thinking to send my family to home country, once they would reach, they would dispatch me back Passports to Italy. In due course, once I would be receiving PPR, I can forward all passports to VO Rome, while my family would be there in home country. Would that be issue for embassy? As we have to checkout from residence, and some urgency in home country, besides the fact that, once visas would be approved, I would be landing first in Canada, and family will follow afterwards, meanwhile, they would stay in home country.

As always, need your valuable advise!
Thanks!

Who is the primary applicant.

Hi @legalfalcon
My wife is the primary applicant. Also, 2014 was the year we got married and that's where the error was made in information to put it with employment.

Thanks,
Rohit

Hey @legalfalcon

I hope you are doing great.

I received my PPR last month & I submitted my passport at VFS New Delhi on 20/11/2017 and my application was approved on 29/11/2017 in mycic account. As per the trend at NDVO passports are dispatched on the same/following day after approval but not in my case. My return tracker is yet to be activated. Any idea what could be the cause for this delay? And I have an upcoming trip to US on 16th Dec, will I get my passport by then? I have raised a CSE but didn’t attach my air ticket and awaiting a response. What else can be done to expedite the process?

Thanks much!

Hi Friends,


I am new to thread. I recently got ITA and have a few questions. Would really help guidance and help:


1) While completing application after ITA and providing details of immediate Family, its is asking to enter both First Name and Last Name for Father, Mother and Brother. But my Brother do not have LastName/Surname in their Indian passports, only First Name/Given Name is present. But both of these fields are mandatory in Immediate Family section. How shall I fill these?


2) My Passport, Certificates etc do not have Surname/LastName of my parents but just the First Name, but my Parent's passport has Surname added. How should I handle this. Shall I enter their LastName while filling Immediate Family details for Father/Mother, and then explain in the explanation letter?


2) I completed by Masters in June 2011 and the started my job on SEP 2013 ( to present). I had entered the same while originally filing the application. Not when I am completing application after receiving ITA and trying to provide last 10 years activity details, what shall I enter from July 2011 to AUG 2013? I have a GAP there and I was basically pursuing PD ( never completed it and its not even in my WES report) and preparing for enterance exam for the job I am currently doing. I stopped doing PhD once I joined job in SEP2013.

What should I enter in Activity for this period?

Can having a GAP after education and before starting Job result in application rejection by CIC?


3) In my express entry profile, I have my Bachelor Degree completing on MAY 2009 and Masters starting on July 2009 as we have a holiday/break in India between different classes. But now when filling last 10 years Activities, it is asking me to fill something about what I was doing in JUNE 2009 for 1 month.

How should I handle this?

If I change start of my Masters from July 2009 to instead June 2009, is that recommended?


4) I am doing a Govt job presently as a scientist. Does experience verification procedure is different for Govt employees than the non-Govt employees?


5) A little silly question, do we have to notarize all documents like (Experience/Reference Letter, Degree Certificates, Transcripts/Number Cards, ITR-V, Salary Slips, Birth Certificates, WES, IELTS results, PCR, Medical Results etc?



Please provide help in above questions.


Regards,

Roy

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.

However, people here are talking about two types of security activities - 'Security' and 'Security Screening'. Those who have the word 'Screening' are invariably getting delayed, while those having just 'Security' are getting PPR much quicker.


Could you please comment on this?


Thanks!

Hi @legalfalcon,

in my GCMS notes I see none of data has any information on dates. For instance, the following fields are all blank, (even for Medical):

Created date:
Created by:
Updated date;
Updated by:

How do then some users get to know their start date for criminality and security processes from the GCMS?

thank you

 

[suede]

You can create your profile with the current passport. Once you get your PP renewed, you can amend the profile. You can update your passport at any stage of the application process. So just go ahead and create the profile.

Many thanks @legalfalcon!
