No, you did not misrepresent when you said that you were on H1B and in status.

Thanks very much @legalfalcon If my employer in USA, cancelled/withdraw my H-1B in the last 6 months of my H-1B and did not inform me, will my writing status as H-1B in schedule A Background form for the unemployed period count as misrepresentation? This employment is not part of my work history.

Below is a brief summary, please advise :

My employer in USA was not responsive and there was no contact with him for the last 6 months of my H-1B period, i was looking for consulting job and did mention this period as unemployed and looking for job in personal history section. I wrote the status for this unemployed period in Schedule A form as H-1B, because my I-194 (Admitted stamp) and H-1B visa was valid till the day, i left USA voluntarily (on my own). I did not stay a day more than my Visa Validity. I did not get any notice to leave or documentation from my employer or USCIS regarding visa cancellation. But H-1B can be cancelled/withdrawn any time, and the visa becomes void from that date. I am not sure whether my employer cancelled my H-1B or not. Did not receive any contact from my employer or USCIS. I fear, i might misrepresent, by mentioning my status as H-1B for the last 6 months, where in fact, i am not sure of it, as i did not receive any information. My employer is not cooperating and also not responding to me, to find out whether he cancelled/withdraw my H-1B visa or not. This employment is not part of my work history and no points are being claimed for it.
Should i raise a CSE for it or is it not needed? Please suggest. Thanks a lot

Please advise!

Dear @legalfalcon, I would appreciate if you will help me with the inside to my GCSM notes, I'm confused for what is it review required..

As per notes, Eligibility is recommend passed, criminality in progress since July 18th and background check not started.
I'm a PA and I have one dependent, my husband. He got study permit refusal in summer and the reason for it was 'limited career opportunities in the country of a residence'. We got married 4 months later, applied for a spousal work permit and it was granted. Now he's here with me in Canada.
We applied for PR on July 4th, on July 18th medical was passed and IRCC requested schedule A for him for a certain period (military service) - we provided the full signed form and military discharge document within 7 days timeframe. For me, criminality is recommend pass, for my husband is review required, even though it's written NRT.

Please see the image attached. Are we in review required for visa refusal or for a military document? Is there anything we can provide to IRCC or it's okay to just wait? Your insight will be highly appreciated!

We cannot understand especially the line 'documents set to review'. And what makes me wonder, they mentioned 'to address the gap' but there were no gaps in personal history/address history

The review required is for a statutory questions, where IRCC asks for if you have applied to IRCC before or have been refused a visa. If you answered yes to a prior visa refusal, there is nothing to worry and soon you will see that your eligibility is passed.

@legalfalcon is it possible for someone to have both eligibility and security both in progress? This was informed to me last month when I called CIC. I tried to post and ask in many forums but could not find appropriate response probably since no one is having a case similar to mine. As far as I know security check starts only after eligibility is met. In my case gcms notes recd on 2nd Nov shows review required for funds. Can you pls share your views on this?

Yes, it is possible. For some applicants when eligibility is recommended passed, and before it is actually set to pass by an officer, the security may commence. No concerns in this regards.

@legalfalcon,

I am from India, I have submitted by application with all documents on 4th December, I have submitted employment documents on my employers letter head, and all other documents post review of visa agent. I have never travelled abroad so I don't have any travel history also I am single. As per you in my case how much time it will take to get reply from CIC, and is there any way to escalate the process to get it fast.

Also is it right time now to apply for GCMS notes.

GCMS notes should be requests at least 45 days post AoR. Before that you won't see much progress or notes.

As regards time, each application is different. The average process time to process an application is 6 months, and this starts when your R10 is passed.

Hi @legalfalcon received my notes and case processing officer is not satisfied with both my reference lettes as the duties and responsibilities not matching the NOC I applied under, and also he has not made any remarks for any other criteria like IELTS, Age, Education, PCC etc.
What do u suggest I should do? Can I send revised reference letters?

Send the revised letters immediately, but if they are accepted will be at the discretion of the officer.

Hi @legalfalcon
I have a question about experience letters. I used to work for a pharmacy for about 2 years and it currently does not exist because it ran out of business in 2015. I was able to get in contact with my manager at the time but he does not have a list of the job duties. and he is not willing to look for them or write them for me, instead he says I can write them myself based on the tasks that I used to do and he will sign off on them for me. I am wondering is this okay to do? or will this be considered misrepresentation?
Thank you for your help.

You can do this, and this is not misrepresentation. You can ask the manager, former colleague, or anyone who know you to write your job duties and other details and sign it. You should get this notarized and explain it in NOC that the company no longer exists. Also, if you can provide additional documents such as appointment letter, salary statements, IT returns etc, that will be helpful.

Dear @legalfalcon, I would really appreciate your help...
I know you get a lot of requests from all over, but I really hope you have the time to help me out. I tried finding an answer online, but I haven't encounter a similar situation.

I am a September AOR and I got an ADR in my account on Saturday. Unfortunately I wasn't aware that there is an official process to renounce a permanent resident status, as I would have done it by now. It's not an excuse, however I need to address this issue so that my application would move forward. I had obtain a PR in 2005 but for personal reasons I didn't met my residency obligations being outside Canada for a long period of time. Since I was sure my previous PR status is no longer available, I have decided (now that I am older and wiser) to formally apply again under FSW. As additional docs I submitted my previous expired PR card, record of landing and provided a LOE about the situation. I am a single applicant with one dependent -my son.

The ADR refers to this situation and I was given 2 choises:
1. to apply for a travel document -Permanent Resident Abroad (which for sure is not an option, giving I didn't met my residency obligations and having a child now that has no legal status in Canada)
2. to give up (renounce) my Canadian permanent resident status and if my voluntary renunciation of permanent resident status is approved, IRCC will proceed with processing my current permanent residence application I have already submitted.

Quote from the letter:
- If you would like to give up (renounce) your Canadian permanent resident status, you must fill out and submit the Voluntary Renunciation of Permanent Resident Status application. You will find the Application to Voluntarily Renounce Permanent Resident Status form on our
website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5781ETOC.asp.
Actual link to the form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5782E.pdf
It is important that you print, complete, and sign your Application to Voluntarily Renounce Permanent Resident Status and submit it following the instructions provided online. If your voluntary renunciation of permanent resident status is approved, we will proceed with processing
your current permanent residence application you have already submitted.

But I am confused how to proceed. I should upload just upload the IMM5782 form on my profile, or should I follow the instructions
given by Guide 5781 – Applying to Voluntarily Renounce Your Permanent Resident Status -( http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5781ETOC.asp?countrySelect=RO#document ) where it states that I should send by mail a complete application with all supporting documentation (2 photos, copy of my current Passport, plus a document checklist) to the Canadian visa office responsible for my country of citizenship. By mail, when my deadline for submitting the ADR is December 17, a week from now.

Common sense tells me that I just have to upload the IMM5782 form (or the whole application package?) in my account but I don't want to make a mistake since my application might be rejected in case I don't do everything as I'm supposed to. In the letter it's stated to follow the instructions provided online. Online by Guide 5781 – Applying to Voluntarily Renounce Your Permanent Resident Status, hence mailing by post the application to my area Canadian visa office or just according to profile - to submit by December 17.

This issue might be straightforward but I just need to be sure. I look forward to your reply. Any other input is very much appreciated. Thank you

You have to follow the process as described in Guide 5781, and then send the proof of this to IRCC in your MyCIC account. Until you renounce your PR status, you cannot apply for a new one. Also, you will have to describe why you should be considered viable to settle in Canada, when you last did not.

Hi @legalfalcon,

Please help me to understand the Organization & entity section in my GCMS notes. I don't know what is this for and can I do something for this.
I am completing 6 months in 10 days but still review required for fund transactions.

Org and Entity refers to other organization dealing with your case. Usually another federal agency.

If your PoF was in a foreign currency, other than USD or CAD, you will have it unless it is reviewed by an officer.

Yes, you can. IRCC only takes into account the month and not days.

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate your help.

I am from India and have currency in Rs, I have 2 bulk transactions in my bank statement though for PoF I have other amount as well. Do I need to declare about those 2 transactions now or should I wait for ADR?
