Does the same apply to CBSA notes? Will they provide the notes at an extended date if the screening is still undergoing? or they ll just do what CSIS did? I just don't want to waist an additional 35$ to learn something I already know

No, CBSA will release the notes. In some cases they will seek extension, but will release the notes, unlike CSIS who will only do it when their involvement is concluded.

@legalfalcon
I am new to Canada and here on a closed work permit.My spouse is back in India and we are applying an open work permit for him from outside Canada.Also he has also started his process for PR and he is the primary applicant .As the PR is going to take time we thought mean while we can apply for open work permit for him.Is it possible to have one PR application and one Temporary (work permit ) application simultaneously ? Will that be a problem.?
Your help will be highly appreciated .
Thanks

You can have as many application filed simultaneously as long as you meet the requirements of each. However, you will have to disclose the other applications.

@legalfalcon,

Few clarifications,

1. I had a FD with Bank A, which I later transferred to Bank B in Feb'18. I have the FD Receipt from the previous bank, copy of the Bank Cheque issued for withdrawing the funds from Bank A with the copy of the Bank A savings statement which contains the withdrawal and issuance details of the Bank Cheque. I have explained this in the LOE. Where do I attach the documents of Bank A? LOE section or POF section?

2. With regard to Salary Slips, how many salary slips do I need to attach in the Employment Section to prove my employment? Is it sufficient to submit a single salary slip (maybe for August month) for a particular year, i.e. 03 salary slips for the 03 years? Or is it required to have multiples from a single year?

3. Is it required to state all my savings accounts with a bank in balance confirmation letter, or only just the ones that I use for POF? Because the balances in other accounts are negligible and I am not showing as POF?

4. My bank letter states that I can withdraw the funds at any time, but they do not say its unencumbered. Will this be an issue? What should I do about this?

5. Salary Slips needs to be certified by HR?

6. Is it okey that the POF letters, Employer Letters etc. are addressed to the High Commission of Canada in our own country?

1. Both.

2. If you are submitting salary slips, then include them for all years you have worked, as in a few from each year and specially the last 6 months of the current year.

3. You can only show the account fro which has your PoF.

5. No certification required.

6. Although, there is no need for address it to anyone, but if you have no need to worry. They could be "TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN"

Hi @legalfalcon

I have a small query. I will be claiming points for following jobs.

Company A = 9th July 2014 - 17th July 2014 (9 Days)
Company B = 5th August 2014- 26th May 2017 (1026 Days) This includes 1 Leap Day from 2016 as well.
Company C = 17th July 2017 - 15th Sept 2017 (61 Days)

So, total = 1096 Days = 3 years 1 day ( including an extra day in leap year)
Even if you exclude 1 extra day of leap year it would be exact 1095 Days or 3 years.

And since in EE Profile, system calculates based on months not days.

Company A = July 2014 - July 2014 (0 Months)
Company B = August 2014- May 2017 (34 Months)
Company C = July 2017 - Sept 2017 ( 3 Months)

Total = 37 Months

So i am good to claim point for 3 years of foreign work experience. Right? Just want to make sure if it will not be considered as misinterpretation since I am able to proof 3 or more years of foreign work experience by both months and days calculation separately.

IRCC only calculates as per month and year, so based on the above you can claim 3 years of foreign work ex.

Hey @legalfalcon

I have a question about the work ex . My work ex is with the same company in India and US

I’ve held 4 different designations in it . Shall I add the job responsibilities of each designation or just 7-8 responsibilities which covers everything ? Which is the best approach?

Also, shall i make separate entry in cic website for each designation or mention in one entry as it is all in the same company.

It will depend on your NOC.

Thanks @legalfalcon,

What about the following question,

4. My bank letter states that I can withdraw the funds at any time, but they do not say its unencumbered. Will this be an issue? What should I do about this?

For the following you said certification not required. It does not have any signatures or seal of the bank. It is in carbon paper (with company name on it).

5. Salary Slips needs to be certified by HR?

When you say few salary slips, is it okey that I attach 2 from each year?

It will depend on your NOC.

@legalfalcon
All the position fall under Same NOC

Hi legalfalcon,

Hope you are good. I have a question. I am planning to travel from Toronto to Vancouver for a 1 week period of time by air. I am currently on my post-graduation work permit which expires in 2020. So, do I need to apply for Visa or any Canadian government id should be good. I would really appreciate your help if you could provide some feedback on this matter

Hello Legal Falcon,

I called CIC today and they said that there are two level of background checks. First one is completed and second one has not started yet by visa officer. What does that mean? In auto message, it say background check in progress which should be ip2. My file is in CIO , Sydney still..any implications?

4. Unencumbered simply means that there is no outstanding loan against it. So if it says, 'unencumbered,' or that there is no loan, it will work.

5. No, as long as your company's letter head or address and details are there, no need to worry.

To fly within Canada, you only need a government issued ID, which can even be your passport from your country of residence. No need for visa.

BGC is done by CBSA and CSIS, see the thread on background.

5. No, as long as your company's letter head or address and details are there, no need to worry.

4. No the letter doesn't say its unencumbered. But it says that I can withdraw at anytime.
5. Its not in a letterhead, but it has the company name, department, my name, emp. no. and designation. Will this suffice? I am getting the reference letters through HR. This is only to confirm the salary details.
How many salary slips should I attach? 2 is enough for a year?

Hello Legal Falcon,

I am in Ip2 from June 22. Today, I called CIC, they said eligibility is passed now, only security check is not started. Once that is done, you will get ppr mail..it is the only thing pending. They said can't tell exactly when can I expect the same? Any idea approximately how much time it will take for ppr and what will happen in final security check.?

Hello @legalfalcon,

I've just received my GCMS notes and have a comment made by Case Analyst in there regarding Eligibility...

"No address block given on LOE, open source search for address from LOE only shows a partial match on google maps (no unit/apt # included), building at address appears to be a residential building called..Unable to verify employer.Please review"

Will try to explain...the company I've been working for is doing business as...another big company... and of course the address on the Employment letter is the address of the first company (it is the same everywhere, on pay stubs, CRA documents, pay cheques..and it is my boss residential address indeed (but unit number provided as well...do not know why Case Analyst notes say no unit # provided....)

I did call my former boss yesterday to clarify if I can get a letter confirming the address for the company or something... and he was surprised and told me there should be no concern as the address is correct and yes, it is his residential, business address can be residential address..he is renting an office somewhere else, but still using his residential for the company documents and etc...

Looks like the last change on my file was made March 16th (AOR March 1) and they have not contacted me or my employer for any additional documents or to confirm something...is it really that slow?

I am just worried and do not know if it will help to raise a specific case inquiry and submit a letter of explanation about the address...or anything else I can or should do?

Really hoping for an advise
Thanks a lot in advance
