Hi @legalfalcon, if I receive ITA for CEC with only 11 months of Canadian work experience (because the system only considers month and year), can I accept this ITA but submit the documents only after I complete the 12 months of Canadian work experience, or I must decline the early ITA altogether and accept another ITA only after I complete the 12 months? I know this is a recurrent question but I am in a tight situation with my current visa I can't find a precise answer for this.

Finally found an official answer from IRCC. Replying here just in case someone also has the same question.

Official comment from IRCC regarding this:

@CitImmCanada Hello, I’ve completed 11 months in Canada on workpermit.Created an express entry profile and received 1yr Canada experience points and now have good CSR score for eligibility. With this situation Can I accept ITA in CEC category? By showing 1yr as experience.

Hi @legalfalcon. It's been almost 6 months since my AoR and I just realized one thing that made me very nervous.

When I submitted my PCCs I posted one for Taiwan and one for the US (US citizen who spent as some time in Taiwan up til 2010).

Both went thru R10 checks perfectly fine, but I just realized that my Taiwan PCC was tied to my new passport which was only about 2 years old, but I was on an older US passport when I lived there. Could this raise any issues? I'm now planning to get a separate PCC issued with the old passport number just in case.

I'm FSW-O. My eligibility has passed but criminality is still in progress. in my GCMS notes it was noted as R10 OK recommend pass criminality.

Hi @legalfalcon hope you are well. I have already submitted my PR application (FSW outland) this year. I have a Canadian born child, who has been identified in the application. I wanted to ask will this impact our PR application? as baby was born, we being in Canada on the tourist visa.
Thanks a lot in advance

The passport does not matter. The PCCs are issued based on your name, dob, and biometrics in some countries.

R10 is just a completeness check. It merely means that all your documents in your application have been submitted, not that their substance is in order.

For most countries the PCC is issued with your current passport as the old passport number is electronically entered in your current passport, which can be check if required.

I do not see this as a problem. However, you can inform IRCC of this via webform, but I do not see a reason for you to obtain new PCC and neither will Taiwan issue a new PCC with an expired passport number on it.

It has no relevance. since your child is a Canadian citizen, he/she will not be processed and you do not have to submit the documents for the child.

@legalfalcon Thanks a lot for your reply. I wanted to ask another question. I moved to my current address on the 15th August 2012 and the PCC which i submitted for the the current address, has a period date from 1st August 2012 till date. The extra coverage of 15 days will have any issue? because my address history also shows the current address start date as 15th of August 2012.

Thanks in advance, sorry for multiple questions.

Hello @legalfalcon i answered no for visa refusal instead of yes. However, i submitted a 2 Schedule A forms (i made a mistake in the first schedule A form i submitted) rectifying the issue. Is this enough? will what i submitted most likely be considered especially due to the fact i made an error in the first Schedule A form. I already ordered my GCMS notes and it says eligibility and medical passed. Although i cannot find any officer's comments in the notes section. I await your response.

Regards.

The extra coverage of 15 days will have any issue? because my address history also shows the current address start date as 15th of August 2012.

Thanks in advance, sorry for multiple questions.

As per IRCC:

• For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than 6 months before the submission of the e-APR.
• For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant stayed in that country for 6 months or more in a row.
• Police certificates meeting the above requirements can be accepted even if they have an expiry date that has passed.
• This includes the requirement to provide a police certificate for countries in which the individual has travelled for 6 months or more in a row, whether or not the individual had an established residential address during this time.
• Police certificates are required upfront and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has spent 6 months or more in a row within the last 10 years. The individual does not need to provide one for any period of time before the age of 18.
• Police certificates need to be a scan of the original police certificate(s) in colour. Certified true copies and unauthorized copies are unacceptable and will result in the application being rejected as incomplete.

If your PCC meets the above, you are good.

Visa refusals, as long as you have informed IRCC of them, you need not worry.

If your security assessment on page 2 is not started, then your eligibility is not complete and security has not yet started.


To know if your eligibility is passed or just recommended passed, You have to understand how a the process works. Eligibility is the most time consuming stage where each document that is submitted is carefully examined, read and then compared with the points you claimed. An officer who has the carriage of your file, will have a few case processing agents who assist him / her in the process. The case processing agents or analysts will review your documents, enter a detailed note and make a recommendation.

In the note that will list all that was reviewed. They may ask the officer to review a specific document or just a general review or make a recommendation is met or recommended passed.

After this, an officer will review the file, and make a final notes, as I posted above. Only after this final determination by a officer is your eligibility conclusively passed. In most cases if the analyst or case processing agent makes a recommendation as met, the officer will go with it, but can reach a different conclusion.

It says your application has been approved, so there you go. Just wait.

Hello, @legalfalcon, I would appreciate your help with the following question—
Post ITA, when filling out the travel history in last 10 years, are the 10 years calculated as calendar years or 10 years since receiving ITA?(July 2020 in my case). I have travel history from January 2010 to May 2010 so just wanted to be sure if I should add that or not. Thank you for your time & assistance.
