I am not expert but what i understand you are under Security Screening. The ACTIVITY 1-4 highlights tre info exchange between IRCC-CBSA-CSIS which may have been redacted

You can see this info if you order CBSA notes
Is there any chances of rejection at this stage and how long it will take to finalize

I haven’t seen a lot of people getting rejected just because there Security took a lot of time to process.
I am reading that it takes usually between 9-12 months on avg. to complete(from the start of the security)

Hello everyone....I applied last year and got the refusal...now I want to apply again but before that I thought of ordering GCMS notes....I received them today but I am not able to figure out how to interpret the data given in those notes and another thing is I am really confused about the status thing mentioned in each section of the notes... somewhere it says 'obsolete', another place it's 'received', 'rejected' is also mentioned at one place....what does all this mean?
Can anyone help please!
Thanks in advance

In the notes section of 'Experience' in the last line, officer has stated, "FSW Work: 3 years and 3 months. CRS Foreign Work: 3 years and 3 months. FSW Work: 1 year. CRS Foreign Work: 3 + year(s)''
What could this mean?
Any idea!

Was experience a factor in your refusal? Was it because they could not verify all your work experience?

For FSW you have to meet the Minimum Eligibility criteria and the CRS. The MEC is one at least one year of full-time or part-time work ex in your selected primary NOC.

Minimum work experience requirement
The applicant must have accumulated at least one year of continuous full-time (or the equivalent in part-time) paid work experience in the occupation identified in their application for permanent residence as their primary occupation. In calculating this period of work experience, the occupation must be listed in skill type 0 (Managerial occupations), skill level A (Professional occupations) or skill level B (Technical occupations and skilled trades) of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2016 [R75(2)(a)].

The applicant’s skilled work experience must also

  • have occurred within the ten years preceding the date of their application for permanent residence; and
  • not be in an occupation that has been designated as a restricted occupation.

No need to be confused. Simple go down to the last 4-5 pages. They will have the notes. Read them in defending order. You will have a clear picture.

Accoring to the CIC website, a BOWP can be issued only if the e-APR has passed the R10 completeness check; but my GCMS note states R10 OK Recommendation: Review Required.

Does this mean I can't apply for the BOWP?

As of now, this is what I could see under the ASSESSMENTS section:
Eligibility: Met
Criminality: Not started
Security: Not started
Medical: Passed
Info sharing: Complete

AoR: 24.06.18
GCMS ordered: 24.07.18
Received: 18.08.18

Thanks a ton for the wonderful work you’ve been doing for candidates like us :)

Your R10 has passed, it's your eligibility which states review required
