Does anyone know how to get CIC agent reveal updated info about your application?

I talked to agent today and he told me that everything about eligibility, security, criminality is in the website so just go and read that.

What do you say to agent that gets him to reveal all the info?

I had similar experience today. I was simply told everything is in process and no further document is required for now. I guess that’s the new norm.

I called today and got the same answer as yours. The IRCC agent kept on saying that due to corona virus we cannot provide the accurate timeline and everything is visible on your IRCC account.

PNP-EE-O, Dec 02 AoR, Hong Kong VO, got my notes today.
Details from the notes are the same from my previous call with IRCC, which means my file wasn't touched by HKVO yet as of Feb 19 (notes generation date).

ASSESSMENTS (Page 2)
Eligibility: not started
Security: not started
Criminality: Passed
Medical: Passed
Info sharing: In progress

From the last few pages, it looks like only a program assistant has checked R10 with a recommendation pass before transferring to Hong Kong on Jan 28 due to workload. No case analyst or officer has started the eligibility review yet.

When did you order your notes plz ?up To How long the info are up to date ?

Just got my GCMS notes issued by IRCC. Ordered on Feb 21 and notes were generated on Feb 24.

AOR Dec 11
MEP/BIL Jan 15
Biometrics done Jan 20
The application status on Feb 24:

criminality passed. Info sharing in progress.
Eligibility and security not started.

Primary VO: Hong Kong
Secondary VO: Central Intake office

Even though it seems eligibility check will not be done anytime soon, I still feel relieved to know the actual status of my application.I have not received any real GU except one with an Email, I was so worried since many others have got GUs. Now I understand it’s just because eligibility is not started yet. I guess it will stay that way for a really long time.

I do not know why they do not share real time updates.
People spend a lot of time in calling IRCC (wait time 45 min around approx.), ordering GCMS notes, web forms, all these are redundant processes and can be eliminated just by showing real time key notes/updates.

Only valid reason from my view is to avoid fraudlance
Meaning among time if applicants can see where the process stands at a particular point of time this will expose the process for fraudlent activities such as bribes or favorism or other.
If might sound irrelevant but in any public department in the world corruption is a ver valid point of concern.

Understanding “Review Required”

A lot of applicants see “review required” in their GCMS notes for eligibility. There are many theories floating around with regard to what “review required” means and if it is alarming.

Before I venture into explaining the significance, it is important to understand that each application goes through the following stages as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations (Canadian Immigration Law):

R10 – Completeness Check
Criminality
Medicals
A11.2 – eligibility
Security

Out of the above, the most important stage is eligibility. This is also the most time-consuming stage because your documents have to be verified, evaluated and assessed to ascertain that you meet the eligibility criteria for the program you have applied (FSW / CEC / FTW). To stream line this process and make it easier for an immigration officer (decision making authority), all applications are first evaluated by case analysts or program assistants. They review the documents and summarize it in the GCMS. If they have any concerns with any document or want the immigration officer to carefully look into a specific document, they will flag it as “review required.” It is the content of the note that is important here. If the review required is for a specific document, while the summary of the note says that an applicant has met the eligibility, or “ready to finalize” it simply means that while the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, but the specific document needs a careful examination form the officer before promoting (eligibility pass) by the officer.

However, if there are concerns, there will be a review required for the eligibility, and there will be no text to the effect “ready to finalize” or pass. The note will specifically state job duties do not match, or the employment cannot be verified, or the number of years of work experience claimed cannot be verified. This is where an application can land in muddy waters. But the final decision rests on the immigration officer. He may override the decision of the analyst / assistant or go with the analysis of the analyst / assistant.

Even in cases where the analyst / assistant is of the opinion that the applicant has met the eligibility, and there is no “review required,” the officer can replace it with his own opinion. Though rare, but it does happen. This is why the eligibility is only passed when an officer conclusively marks the eligibility as passed.

Finally, there is “review required” for PoF. This is the most common in many applications. This is because, the financial and banking practices of each country are different. Eg. Fixed deposits are know as Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the US. Similarly, treasury bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and many other investment vehicles are there. If your PoF anything other than a bank deposit, it is more likely that it will be marked as “review required.” Also, IRCC does not go by day to day fluctuations in FOREX. Instead, the Canadian federal government issued a quarterly conversion rate for all FOREX vis-a-via CAD. If your PoF is in a foreign currency, then you may have “review required” for the officer to make a determination.

Just because you have “review required” does not mean that you hit the panic mode. Instead, read the context in which it is there. If there is a concern regarding a document, you can send a replacement document via CSE. The most common reasons for RR are:

1. Work reference letter without job duties
2. Work reference letters missing all the details requested by IRCC
3. If you submitted a letter from a colleague because you were unable to get one from your employer, but did not have a LoE on file, this too will lead to RR.
4. Not sufficient work experience in the primary NOC.
5. Inability to verify your employment as your employer details are missing.

There are just some of the scenarios.

I am an FSW-O applicant. My aor is 9th Dec,2020. Recently i have an AOR that my application is received by Singapore migration office. What is the significance? Does it mean there is any concern about my application. I have passed medical and done biometrics.

There are no concerns, files are moved around the IRCC network on many factors, such as work load, the requirements of the application and administrative needs.
