Hi @legalfalcon needed your suggestion
I had ordered and received GCMS notes on 16th October.AOR 7th June. According to which Eligibility was met. Moved to IP2 on 16th October and received a Ghost update on 18th October which generally precedes PPR mail.I have no travel history.But till now I have not received PPR. Should I be worried.???
Many people moving to IP2 later than me have received Ppr

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:

I have the exact notes as you. The notes and activities are very similar. I’m August 2 AOR
My application was also reviewed by a case processing agent in CIO, I believe they explicitly use the term “Met” for Eligibility..
My application was then transferred to CPC Ottawa.
I called CIC yesterday and a rep said my Eligibility has been passed and is basically on a queue for final review by an officer so the BG checks can start.
Personally I don’t think these checks take more than hour or two, your file just needs to be picked up by an agent

Thank you so much for the positive words @Yelzamani! I actually got an update in my account sometime last night (I’m in the time zone UTC+4hours) so likely close of the week (Friday evening) in Ottawa. So the IP1 has finally yielded way to IP2 after much stress and heartache :rolleyes: Your application also appears to be well on track towards a PPR, and pretty soon down the line. Fingers and toes crossed for both of us!!!

I have checked my spam folders and cic account online but no request yet. Do you know how long could it take to receive the ppr mail after the app has been approved? Thanks

Hi @legalfalcon,
Can you help me with this please ?
I'm AOR 5/03/2018. My Eligibility is in Review Requied since April and i have never been asked for any additional docs !

-I received my GCMS notes this week and it seems to me (see below) that they have a problem with the list of duties not present in my work experience letter. Can you confirm you understand same thing?
-Since i managed to get one with all the informations needed, should i raise a CSE with this new letter? Explain it in a LOE since i never add one (or just in the form) ?
-Can you confirm that the "Minimum Entry Criteria (MEC) appears NOT met" is also related to that list of duties missing?
-Do you think it would be a good idea to order a new set of GCMS notes like 2 weeks later to be sure they add that new letter to my file and maybe push it a little?

Thanks for you Help !

RECOMMENDATION: Review Required SUMMARY NOTES: officer review required for work experience: No LOE provided. The employment contract does not list duties. Minimum Entry Criteria (MEC) appears NOT met.
However, the job title and education are consistent with the declared NOC #2161. A11.2: Appears Met R75 : FSW MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS – Review Required R76: SELECTION CRITERIA – FSW POINTS/Funds: Appears Met FSW points total :68 Ready to Finalize RPRF: Complete


A little bit below in the WORK section of the notes :

Hello @legalfalcon

I am a dependent and my wife is primary. AOR is 30 Sept.
Today, we received BIL (Turkey) but Medical is still not passed.

We have an ADR (Schedule A: IMM 5669) Background Declaration for me (dependent).

There is no gap for the last 10 years of personal & address history in eAPR. However, I went to high school in Italy (2001-2003) and one year university in Netherlands (2003-2004). (Since they were not in the last 10 years, we did not mention nor we got a PCC for them.)

Then I transferred to another university in Turkey which I graduated and got a WES for it.

We also have compulsory military application and I provided every detail along with the certified translation of Discharge Certificate (Appendix to LoE)

What am I suppose to understand from this ADR? Should I include my high school and 1 year university but the form still says it has to be the last 10 years. Also, some of my high school period were during before 18th birthday.

I will also copy the exact info for compulsory military service that I stated in eAPR to this ADR.

Why do they ask this and what should I do to make it correctly?

I have 7 days. Thank you in advance.

Hi @legalfalcon

I've ordered CBSA notes, and finally received them. I've read across the forum how there should be 4 sub activities under security, but I only have 1 which says security screen in progress by CBSA. The status was updated on this subactivity it seems 6 months ago, but the due date remained november of last year. Any help on how to read this is highly appreciated. Also, I know my file is with CSIS, since I ordered CSIS notes 5 months ago and saw that it was with them.

Hi @legalfalcon
Help needed
Posting on behalf of a friend ..

One of my friends recently got WES evaluation - she has a bachelors and masters degree but her masters degree has been evaluated as a 4 years bachelors degree ...
Her evaluation states degree 1 - bachelors 3 years, and degree 2- bachelors 4 years.

How is this supposed to be treated for express entry-

1. Does it qualify to be under two or more degrees ??
2. Or will it be considered only as one 4 years bacherlors degree ??
3. How much impact does this have CRS point wise- keeping all other things as constant ??

Thanks a lot for ur guidance

Hi @legalfalcon,

Actually my LOEs didn't mention duties and responsabilities. I received the GCMS notes last month, the officer put my eligibility under review and my documents were set for review as well. I wasn't asked to send any ADR but I raised a CSE last week and sent both LOEs with duties and an update of POF. They've sent to me an email saying that the documents were forwarded to the department in charge of my application, but I don't know if the officer accepted to open the file. I know that there is no more to do from my side.

What happens generally in those cases?Will they take a long time to finalize the case knowing that my AOR is 7 july?

Thank you for your help.

Hello Legalfalcon, I have complicated problem about indicating my educational history in the EE profile and very much appreciate your help.

In 2017, my Canadian study permit expired because I couldn't renewed my passport in time. It was actually delayed in getting back to me from my home country by a few days so I was waiting to receive my new passport and during that time, I lost my student status. I stopped studying immediately. But then once my passport arrived (a few days later from the expiry of my study permit), I applied to restore my status immediately. And got a new study permit within a month of applying.

Timeline:

Started studies : October 1st, 2015
1st study permit expired : January 1, 2017
Passport expired : January 1 st, 2017


Received new passport : January 9th, 2017
Applied for the new study permit as restoration: January 10th, 2017
New study permit issued : February 13th 2017 - November 30th 2017
Finished studies and graduated: October 27th 2017

I also have one year Canadian work experience from November 2017 - November 2018

I am now planning to apply for EE and filling my profile.

My problem is, how should I indicate this one month gap in my express entry profile? Or should I include this time period at all ?

Here are the options:

1) Should I show the gap in express entry profile where I stopped doing any schooling when I awaited for the study permit? (Jan 1st - Feb 13th)

2) Or should I just include the gap in the personal history section with an LOE and just leave the education duration as 2015 October - 2017 October?

3) I have successfully completed my degree but this gap is not indicated in my transcript. If I show this gap, how would I claim that I stopped participating in any educational activities?

I really appreciate your help in how to approach this problem and fill the EE profile/ post ITA application. Thank you.
