Manmeet sir,
Trust you are doing well.

Sir, my NOC IS 2274.

Sir, in my NOC, we have this kind of an arrangement where in, one works for lets say 6 months....He gets a salary for 9 months....where 3 of his months when he is home is considered as a 'cooling period'.

This cooling period is given to him cause his six months is a 24x7 job..and during this cooling period, he has to relax...spend time with him family etc..
and most importantly, get his certifications in order..attend classes, courses....and seminars which is an integral part of his employment.

If it wasn't for these certifications, one cant work in this NOC

Also, the governing body of this NOC, which comes under International labour organisation, has started that employer must relieve a sea-farer at least once in twelve months.

These 3 months are fully paid...



What would be the IRCC position on this?..Will they consider these 3 months as a part of the employment...?

My problem is ...my hot period(when i was on ship) is 32 months and my cooling period in all these years is about 11 months..so if i add them up,i get around 43 months of paid employment....

In these cooling period, i had done the necessary certifications..


This is the peculiar nature of my employment.



Do note that i have 18 months of continuous salary at a stretch so i very well qualify for the 1 year continuous work experience at a particular rank.

i am thinking of adding this in my Letter of explanation,



"

1)

The Time duration when I am not on Ship is also an integral part of my employment. During this period, seafarers like me undergo training, certification, and other essential courses which are only possible on land. These courses are very essential and are conducted in accordance with various international regulations. Anyone who is working in NOC 2274 needs to have them in good order. During this time duration, my employer paid me my monthly salary. This is reflected in my salary slips and bank statements as well. My position during this time period still stays the same. All certifications and courses I have done during these time periods are mentioned in my personal history. I have attached a few of these certifications and courses in an additional document for your reference.

"



Do you believe IRCC will recognise my paid 'cooling period' as my work history?

Hi @legalfalcon, per my GCSM
Primary office: Etobicoke
Secondary: CIO
I am EE PNP inland AOR Dec 1, 2020
I can see per my notes that my application passed R10 at CIO. But my file was transferred to Etobicoke due to workload(it says paper file transfer although I submitted via EE so why it says paper file?)

My question-which office gonna access my application after r10 now? I know it is supposed to be the secondary one. But my secondary one listed as CIO and primary one Etobicoke.
Also application assignment shows Etobicoke office.

It does not make any sense for me.
please clarify, I really appreciate it

Hi @legalfalcon , I saved my money in an insurance saving plan (http://singlife.com/) that can be liquidated anytime. However, they don’t provide any kind of “bank statements” as they are not really a bank. So, I cannot show the average historical balance on a formal letter. How can I proceed with this account as POF?

There are two things that I can think of that might work:

  1. Can I do a “self-gift deed” from this account to another “usual” bank account with bank statements when I got an ITA? If self-gift deed is possible, do I need to notarize the gift deed letter if I send my money from my own (other) account?
  2. There is an activity statement or transaction history from the web browser. Can I possibly use this?
I use this insurance saving plan to deposit my money since it gives 1.5% interest annually. The usual bank account only gives 0.5% interest annually.

@legalfalcon how is the Sydney office in terms of processing?

I had a call with IRCC yesterday, they said eligiblity and the security not started yet.

Does that mean no one is working on the file? Or in a background they are working but IRCC customer executive doesn't know about it?

Security only starts after eligibility is concussively passed. So check your notes for that.

At an average security takes 110 days. To read on security, how it is done and how long it takes, see

What does it mean?
If your spouse had more than one UCI, then the same has been separate and clubbed.

As per IRCC household is defined as:

Household: If there is more than one UCI for the same client, this is a data integrity issue. As there is no way to delete a record from GCMS once it is promoted, the UCIs must be linked by performing a household. When a household is done, the multiple IDs will still exist but they will be linked together.

If you have been issued more than one UCI, they will be linked at the Operations Support Centre at Ottawa.

Nothing to worry about.

Whatever if done is listed in the GCMS notes and entered in the system.

What is your AoR?

1. There is nothing a self gift deed. By law gift is from one individual to another, you cannot gift yourself something that you already have.

2. You can use that, but you will have to show that the funds are available to you and are readily available as and when when you want it. It can be though the insurance plan documents (agreement) and the statements.

anyone can answer please.
Interviews can be requested for either random program integrity or to verify your details. In most cases interviews are generally 10-15 minutes long and questions are based on your work, and your profile.

To read on how they are conducted see https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/interview/applicant/conducting-interviews.html
