Is your eligibility conclusively passed by an officer.

See #2,521

If your eligibility is conclusively passed, then this is an administrative delay and nothing can be done.

Also see if you have COVID- pace in your GCMS notes, which indicates that your application may have been placed on hold.

As regards the medicals, they may have been extended.

Since your info sharing in progress, your security too should commence soon. What is the date of generation of your GCMS notes?

Since eligibility is met, you have crossed the biggest hurdle. Now, the application is not moving ahead because of administrative delay/COVID. If there is something they need, IRCC will contact you. Otherwise, keep asking for GCMS every 3/4 months to know the progress. You can call/raise webforms too, but GCMS gives the most accurate information.

As per the notes your Eligibility has been recommended passed. See my previous post available at #2,521 to see how eligibility is passed.

After the recommendation has been conclusively passed by an officer, your security will start and after that your application will be approved.

What is eligibility check? How is it different from background check?
All application have to be evaluated for admissibility based on criminality, medicals, security and the eligibility for the program you have applied under.

For the stages of application see https://bit.ly/3iyMPCm
Medicals: https://bit.ly/3jwdGQZ
Security: https://bit.ly/2GvIBOF
Proof of Funds: https://bit.ly/2Sq4UrL

Also, for inland, is our SIN or CRA profile and all previous T4s accessible to be checked during background check? Am paper PNP applicant
No, IRCC cannot look into your T4, unless you provide them and their authenticity can be verified by CRA.

Hi @legalfalcon

Thank you so much for your response

the notes were issued on 27th of August, about 235 pages!!!

The main applicant is my husband and the infor sharing is in progress just for him..It says the status is complete-not reviewed

I did not find any COVID - pace in the notes, if there is any clue to find it please tell me

The last update on the file was back to April and this is so weird..

the officer review regarding the eligibility was back to march that said eligibility and criminality passed

Your GCMS notes are pretty recent. Unfortunately, this is an administrative delay.

Does the security on page 2 of your GCMS notes says "not started"

Hello @legalfalcon, I would like to ask a question: last week I received latest set of GMCS notes with no new note updated. My eligibility has remained being recommended as review required by Officer by case processing agent since last February with no particular document flagged. It has been nearly 8 months for my eligibility to wait for being reviewed. Is it normal for application with eligibility review required to wait for such a long time?

There are some application that just get stuck, and this is because no one worked on them. Such delays are common.
