I think I may have answered one question incorrectly by saying 'No' whereas I was once denied Visitor Visa to the US for not showing enough proof of ties with the home country.
Considering that my application is already under process for almost 3 months now, is there anything I can do to save my application at this point? It'd be great if you could help.

You can send a webform and inform IRCC that you may have inadvertently answers the questions incorrectly and let them know of the past visa refusal. As long as you disclose it, there is no issue.

The law on this point is very clear:


All your visa refusals should be declared in your application, not doing so can lead to misrepresentation. As per law you have an obligation to be truthful. Section 16(1) of the IRPA states:

• 16 (1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.

See Tuiran v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2018 FC 324 (CanLII), <http://canlii.ca/t/hr59k
Alalami v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2018 FC 328 (CanLII), <http://canlii.ca/t/hr6r1>

If you inadvertently missed declaring your prior visa refusal in your application, make a correction now. As long as you inform IRCC and are truthful, there should be no issues.

Also, many applicants forget a prior visa refusal and answer the question incorrectly, so no need to be concerned, just declare it and fix it now.

I only attached Work Reference Letter and T4 from my 1st employer. Now I have received whole pay stub history from the employer. Should I raise a webform and submit the document? I am a CEC Inland applicant. AOR September 19, 2020. BIO, Med passed.

Please reply @legalfalcon

Thank you

As per IRCC:

If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).

If you have submitted T4, you are fine. If IRCC needs any more info, they will ask. All that is required by IRCC is to show that the points you have claimed for your work experience, you actually have it, and show supporting documents for it.

Hello, sorry if this is not the right place for this query but no one has been able to help on the pre ITA thread. I figured people who have submitted their application could help.

I have a question on how to fill the education section in the express entry profile. I got my bachelors degree which IQAS evaluated as a 4 year degree. But it took me 5.5 years to get it because I transferred and attended 3 different universities.
I studied for 1 year at university A, then 1 year at university B and then finally transferred to university C - where I studied for 3.5 years and obtained my bachelor’s degree. So I spent 5.5 years in total for my university studies. The degree is evaluated as being a 4 year bachelor’s degree awarded by university C. The transferred credit allowed me to complete my degree faster at university C.
I don’t know how to fill the education section. I figured I would only include University C since that’s the one that awarded me my degree and the one for which I’m getting points. When I write the dates for which I attended University C it comes out to 3.5 years. I’m unsure if I should write 3 years or 4 years for the number of complete/full academic years because my transcript shows 7 semesters of University C + 4 semesters of transfer credits from previous universities.
Could someone please help me?

Hi @legalfalcon and everyone. I need your help. Below is my situation and my questions.

1. MY CRS Score is 481. Applied for Canada PR through FSW-Outland. Upfront medicals. AOR is Sept 25th 2020. I was in India when I got ITA and when I submitted my e-APR/AOR. All info and docs provided is truthful.

2. I quit my job and moved to the US on Oct 22nd 2020 after my AOR (CRS score was still 481).
- Sent a Web Form to IRCC regarding this on Oct 25th 2020 with a letter of explanation with my new address in US and about my job (attached documents to back it up). Got an acknowledgement email also.
- I used https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx web form and chose "Permanent Residence (applied Online)" under the dropdown "Type of application/enquiry (required)".

3. Medicals Passed and got Biometrics letter on Nov 12th 2020.
- I gave biometrics at the closest USCIS/VAC on Nov 24th 2020.
- Got updated on my IRCC portal (can see the 10 years validity on top-right corner of my application in the portal).

4. This is the status on my IRCC portal as on today:

Review of eligibility - We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results - November 12, 2020 You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents - We do not need additional documents.
Interview - You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics - We have not received your fingerprints. Check your biometrics request message below for details.
Background check - We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision - Your application is in progress - We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

5. I called IRCC today about the status of my application. The agent told me that my application is in New Delhi Visa Office (NDVO). They don't have any info on the status.

Questions:
1. "Type of Application" in the Web form sent after my move - was it correct?
2. Should I send any docs to NDVO regarding my move from India to the US?
3. Should I raise a NDVO specific webform about my status or is it better to order GCMS notes?
4. Not sure why was it sent to NDVO. Have seen cases where NDVO takes more time to process (as in more than 6 months). Should I be concerned?

Any help regarding this is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

All you need to do is raise a web form and enquire about the status of your application. Status on myCIC is not helpful. It may take some time to receive a response but it will be faster than requesting your Gcms Notes. More about web form responses at https://bit.ly/2FUPKIe

If after that you still want to obtain the Gcms Notes then suggest doing so from CBSA instead of IRCC see why https://bit.ly/34nuJPu

AOR - 2nd Sep 2020
FSW (O), Country of Residence : India
Medical Passed & BIL received : 17th Oct 2020

I called IRCC and they said my file has been transferred to NDVO and they can't tell me the status. While I have ordered the GCMS notes (4 months post AoR), I know they might take some time.... anything else I can do to ascertain the status of my application? specifically eligibility? I know criminality & security cannot be done without biometrics.

Raise a web form and ask those questions, the response may give you the insight about the status of your application. Also, if needed again next time around consider requesting the Gcms Notes from CBSA instead https://bit.ly/34nuJPu

Thanks for your response @caipsnotes. Will try NDVO specific web form for the current status. Also will apply for CBSA bit later.

@RChopra Looks like your application is processed at NDVO too. Good luck.

1. YEs, that is correct.

2. No, you only have to send them via webform and they are added to you your file, wherever it may be.

3. NDVO will provide you with the same info as webform, if at all they respond.

4. No need to be concerned, if your initial application was filed when you were in India, or there are any verifications related to India, your application would have been sent to NDVO.

To know more info, you can request GCMS notes, but send a webform to ask for the status of your application.

To read on how to decipher webform response, see https://bit.ly/2LcvtRh

@RChopra Looks like your application is processed at NDVO too. Good luck.

Thanks! @PR_Profile_01 - Follow up query - what makes you say file has processed at NDVO too? any way to contact them?

 

[armaanwadhwa]

My file has also moved to NDVO when I called in mid-December. However, I'm October 2020 AOR. Not sure why it got moved :/

@caipsnotes - Thanks! Will order from CBSA as well. but would they show anything different / updated, assuming my biometrics aren't yet completed?

Hey Guys. ALhamdullah ( Thanks God ) I have gotten my PPR a couple of days ago, and I sent my passport yesterday. Now, with the current travel restrictions in Canada, I would like to know what I'm supposed to do once I get my COPR, and what is the COPR package exactly? My plan it to land in mid of March. Am I supposed to get some kind of permission to travel? How, and from whom?

My time line: PNP outland, Visa office: Cairo, AOR mid of September, Medicals passed and Biometrics done in beginning of November, an ADR for schedule A in mid of November, followed be 2 GUs in the last weeks of November and December.

Good luck for all of you.
