Hello @legalfalcon,
I received my CBSA notes lately. I'm June 10 2017, so it has been 16 months and my Eligibility has not been initiated yet (https://imgur.com/a/HraFYb0) . The last meaningful note is one year old. (https://imgur.com/a/5jOj9BJ). Since then zero...All the newer notes are regarding the emails I sent. Does that imply rejection or something? Does this happen often?

As per note 7, IRCC is trying to confirm you employment with one of the employers. This is what may be taking time. In such cases, IRCC will ask the LVO to investigate and provide the with a report.

Apart from this, I do not see ant concerns.

Hello @legalfalcon! I hope all is well!

There is a new section in Study Permit: "starting a new program of study within 150 days of receiving a written confirmation of program completion"

This new section was added in March 2018 and I am wondering if this section applies retroactively.

My situation is as follows:
I've got a Masters offer that I received in July, 2017.
I have received my letter regarding completion of my undergraduate degree on September 5th 2017, and deferred my Masters for 1 and a half year, so it starts on January 12th, 2019.
I started working on September 5th, 2017 and applied for PGWP on September 11th, 2017, and I received my PGWP. So essentially I've worked for 5 days after completion of degree, but before applying for PGWP.

However, it seems to me for these 5 days, I fall under the new 150 days rule in the link above. Does it apply retroactively? I know my work after September 11th 2017 is legal because of implied status.

I've yet to apply - but in essence, will they base their decision on the new rules (which are beneficial to me), or will they apply the old rules? I've yet to submit my application and I'm not sure what I should include in the letter of explanation about these 5 days!

Thanks for all the help for all of us!

The law never applies retroactively, unless expressly stated. So unless you meet the 150 days after the rules cane into force, you cannot use this rule.

Dear @legalfalcon

We had our first medical screening my husband was asked to do tuberculosis test which went negative and after medicals expired orecchiette requested new ones and we saw that the xrays report is the same as the first one will ircc run a new medical screening again or will they check out first screening report ? Afraid to have again to wait three additional months because of that

Can you please advise?

Thanks

In most cases unless a new x-Ray was requested, then there is no need for a new one. So you should be good. However, you can request GCMS Medicals to find the medical status of your reports.

Hi @legalfalcon ,
I need some help to understand my situation .
I received a request letter two months ago and I was advised to submit dependents passports to local Canadian visa office (Dependents are living back home country and I am live in Canada) to finalize their PR application , and it was mentioned in the letter that local IRCC office (in my city ) will contact to finalize the PR application of principal applicant.
Dependents Passports were submitted 7 weeks ago . However , There is no update since that ,and Local IRCC office have not contacted either.
Application status on Ecas tool is decision made for last two month ,IRCC call rep also confirmed me that application is approved and i should wait for the next step.
It has been two months I have not received landing appointment or passport request (for myself).
I am hoping if you please help me to find that what will be the next step and how long it could take to finalize the application . Thanks

It seems that your application is stuck. Have you tried sending a CSE and also end an email to CPC Ottawa at CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca

Hey @legalfalcon . Gotta question for you.

I have a valid closed WP till Feb 01 and I have applied for PR on May and it almost my six month mark. I just applied BOWP and paid the fees. My doubt is can I quit my job when the BOWP is processing. My company wants me to go back to India on Nov end. But I don't want to. So only way is to quit. But Can I? My R10 passed but my eligibility is still review required because of the job responsibilities letter I missed to submit. I have submitted the letter using web form and they have received it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Until you receive the BOWP, you cannot quit your jib and get a new one. However, as soon as your BOWP is issued, you can go ahead and quit and get a new job.

Also, the 6 months processing time frame starts when the R10 is passed and not when the AoR is issued.

I understand that i cannot get a new job until I get a bowp but can't I quit and wait??

I want to know that i got ADR from IRCC that provide again PCC, Travel history, height eye color passport bio page, family information, background declaration, all these forms they requested again after year kindly suggest why they requested again after long delay.

Hey all forum experts @legalfalcon, @bimale4bipeople , could you please help with interpreting my GCMS notes?

Ordered the first set on 24Jul18 since I got an ADR request really early on, and was scared my application was incomplete (and would be rejected ). I was reassured by the notes since Eligibility showed as MET when I received the notes on 18Aug18.

The latest notes were ordered on 24Sep18 (3 months into the post-AoR period) and received on 26Oct18 (today).

I'm uploading screenshots of page 1 and page 2, then activity 1 - 7 and finally, the last 3 pages with analyst comments. Please help!

PS: It looks like NO move since the last time I ordered the notes. I'm stuck at Ip1 for the last 4 months now Primary office appears to be CPC- Ottawa. Is it possible my application will be moved to an LVO due to workload redistribution at this stage? Any insights would be most welcome!

So, these are my assessments:
Eligibility: MET
Info sharing: COMPLETE
Medical: PASSED
Criminality: NOT STARTED
Security: NOT STARTED

Rest, screenshots for your kind reference:

No need to worry about that. There are many entries which pertain to may requests made to different offices, some a re rejected, some are closed etc.

If there are any concerns, then they would have bene recorded in the notes, see the last 3-7 pages for the officer's notes.

Those pages are fine. Nothing suspicious. In last pages eligibility is met and info sharing is also completed.

Dear @legalfalcon
Please advise under the questions on the form IMM1295 and IMM008 - it asked "have you ever used any other names?" and in the instructions it says it could be your birth name, maiden name, etc.

My birth certificate first name is completely different from what I have been using since birth. I had it legally changed once I found out in 2006 that I have a different name on my birth certificate from the govt records and it was different from what my mother had, and so now there is an annotation and accompanying legal documents. All my IDs, diplomas and passport are of the name I've been using. Should I note the name on my birth certificate as other name on these forms? Either way, I will have tocinclude original Birth certificate and copies of legal name change docs as it's included in the check list.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello folks,

I got PPR yesterday and I have to submit the documentation to VFS Karachi on Monday. This forum has cleared many queries. I have just one question for which I need the help on this thread:

Q) Is there are other fees associated with the Visa such as "Visa Fees" or "Service Charges" other than the "Passport Transmission Service" ? I need to know if any Visa fee has to be paid directly to IRCC or at the VFS center?

Regards,

Hi Legalfalcon!!! Greetings!! sorry as my question is not exactly everyone asking here about, but having no way I am asking you. Your response much appreciated. My question about study permit.

I have completed ma BSS (hon's) and MSS from a public university of Bangladesh in 2011 in Sociology. Now working as Social/Policy Researcher in a prominent research organization and has 8 years experience in same. Now want to enroll in Public Policy in U of Saskatchewan/ U of SF, which help me to cherish my career as policy researcher further. But somebody saying that, I may get the admission letter from the uni, but will not get the Study Permit from the government, as they'll doubt about my motive that I have much experience and have the MS as well and doing this to increase my CRS score only and later I will apply for PR. Is it true? What the catch?

Dear Legal Falcon,

I need help in choosing a suitable NOC code as my roles are overlapping multiple codes. I have tried searching everywhere but unable to conclude which one is applicable to me.

I work as an assistant relationship manager in a commercial bank. My job is to manage a portfolio of company accounts mainly borrowing accounts, review and analyze their financial position, prepare credit applications for loans and working capital, mobilize new assets and deposits and market new clients, negotiate on collateral and pricing etc.

I will appreciate your help in choosing which NOC code should I select for my work experience given your vast exposure and expertise in this field.
