Background check is done by the RCMP in connection with CSIS. It all depends on a lot of things. Your country of origin, your current location, how long you've been at the location, what countries you've travelled to. It should be relatively easy for anyone who hasn't gone home in over a year...

@ Holygun & Edmontonbound, I've always mentioned here that many a times criminality has been passed but the officers don't update it. It is a different officer who updates the info received by the visa office. your officer only does the Eligibility check and File review based on the result of...

Re: OHIP Requirements If it is a requirement for Nomination, it is different from if you become a PR. If it is a requirement when you applied for Ontario nomination, then it actually means that you cannot leave the province for the stipulated time after you've been nominated. If however, it is...

Hi Ciao, Don't be scared. Your file is progressing well. Yes. your officer's code is EG00203. What happens is this...Your file gets taken off the shelf (HD1-2) and placed in PROV-REG in queue for processing by an officer. After a few days, a preliminary officer reviews your file and checks if...

@ Holygun: Check under 'NOTES' section towards the end of the GCMS note. You will see all the assessment remarks made by the Officer. In the GCMS notes I applied for in May before I got PPR, it says 'File ready for assessment'. From my perspective, I think 'File ready for review' means it is...

CIC & ATIP are the same. If you look at your GCMS notes closely, you will see all the GCMS notes request you've made. They have access to your information and can change it. In order to be safe, I'd advise you change it with CIC. ATIP Officers only print out what they see in your file. The file...

@ Holygun. Edmontonbound is right. You didn't sign her consent form. That's one thing i've realised with the new online system. You still have to sign the consent form for both of you & attach it on the attachment page. Meanwhile, I applied for my notes on July 12 & I sent them an email last...

Congrats my Sister. The Lord has taken the victory atlast. One lesson the Lord taught me in this process is patience. The Lord makes things beautiful at his own time. For other still waiting (holygun, Edmontonbound, xse2573, Bahia, etc), your time of rejoicing is here already. Just keep up the...

Hi All, It looks like the PAFSO strike is affecting GCMS notes as well. It's 35 days now that I applied & no response. This is a copy of the reply I got today from my inquiry. NEW ATIP PROCEDURES! Submit your ATIP Request Online! Since April 2013, we have been processing Access to...

Hi Sarayu, If Officer asks for RPRF, it doesn't mean your file has been processed to completion. Infact, they are only trying to save time for the applicant & themselves. If you don't pay it early, it will slow down the issuance of visa. Officer will need to confirm if you've paid the RPRF...

Are you an inland applicant or an outland applicant? If inland, just walk to any US border & do your landing. If outland, it will be at the point of entry into the country. This depends on the flight you take & their destination. Hope this helps!

GCMS means Global Case Management System. It is in this system they now process all PR applications. Formally, they use CAIPS or FOSS record. It is where your record is in Canada...But it is not Global. Now, Canadian officers all over the world can have access to your file...If they are working...

If you did submit in Dec 2012, then your Eligibility should have been done by CIO. From what I understand about post July 2012 applications, Officers at CIO open the documents, Check for document completeness, perform Eligibility test and create a file in GCMS. After that, they issue you the...

When did you submit your application to CIO? This will enable me answer your question.

It's Buffalo closure issue. Meanwhile, the way Buffalo applications are processed is different from those of CPP-O.

It actually depends on the application category but these days, things are being fast tracked. If you are a Jan - June 2012 applicant & your eligibility has not been started, it means that no officer has reviewed your file. However, if you are a post June 2012 or 2013 applicant, officers at CIO...

I don't know that. CIC work on case by case basis.

it means your file has been assigned to an officer. Your criminality has been started. Once the officer completes it, he/she will get back to you. When files get to Ottawa, it goes to location 'HD-1'. After which it gets moved to 'Prov - Reg'...Meaning 'Provincial Nomination Register'. When...

PNP-EVAL means 'PNP Evaluation'...It means your case has left the shelf and it is being processed. Criminality check involves a lot of things...country of origin, countries you've visited, etc...Since you & your spouse are both in Canada, it is much better. Reason being that you both have FOSS...

Yes Pari. I landed at Calgary Airport in June. Take your work permit with you, your COPR & passport with visa. You can take confirmation of employment with you & a copy of your utility bills just to show you have ties with the province. The officer will only ask you for your passport+visa and...
