    Couldnt understand email from CIC..PLEASE HELP

    Ah, I see. Well, then I'd wait for their response to the CSE. Sorry, can't really help you with the email, whether they'll require only the birth certificate of your child or a passport as well. The only thing I know, after they complete your additional processing, they'll send you a new PPR...

    Couldnt understand email from CIC..PLEASE HELP

    I think the procedure is to first formally inform them about your newborn (congratulations, by the way! :)) via a CSE, and then they will send you the relevant instructions for your particular case.

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    @Lily_br, so sorry to hear about that! But if all your documents are in order, maybe you could contact IRCC somehow and bring their attention to it? Maybe it was a mistake on their part, and they will reopen your application? But in the meantime you could creat a new one just in case. Try asking...

    Ah, I see. Thanks for your answers! I do hope you'll get your passports back in time to travel in May! :)

    That would be great, if they're working that fast... though I doubt you'll be able to get the PR cards before the end of the May holidays, unfortunately, the PR card waiting times are about a month, if I'm not mistaken. You'll need an address in Canada for them to send it to, they're not sending...

    Oh my god, congratulations!! So happy for you!! At last, the wait is over! When are you planning to land? :) Also - they want the passport to be sent to Ottawa?? I thought we'll have to take it to the VO in Moscow, or at least in Warsaw! I'm like a week behind you on all timeline milestones...

    Duration

    Depends on your score, nobody can tell you that for sure. What Andy said, 485, will get you an ITA within two weeks, based on the current trends. Some of the people with scores below 400 have been waiting for more than a year and their profiles have probably expired by now. Who knows what will...

    Thanks, hope so! :) Yep, that's normal, happened to me, too. My BG went in progress after that. In my country too, the full name has a derivative of the father's name in the middle, but I omitted it everywhere beause people in the western countries tend to think it's my middle name. Is the...

    One mistake during the Canada high commission call

    I'm no expert but that doesn't seem too bad for me. I mean, you didn't get any CRS points for your wife's work anyway, so it didn't really have any impact on your application. Did they ask any details about her work? And anyway, who says she didn't get employed after you submitted your...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    +1. I had a visa refusal, too, I explained it to the best of my ability in my LoE and they did mention it in my GCMS. Moreover, it seems like they were satisfied with my explanation and did not request any additional documents or Schedule A from me, which is common in cases like that. They might...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    I don't think so. Your additional documents' status is "Provided", so I believe you're okay. So... I got an update the day before yesterday, then a ghost update and a ghost email yesterday, and today my BG is in progress. After 4.5 months of my application being dormant (more like catatonic)...

    We discussed our notes some time ago, but I just noticed - seems like we used different services after all? Mine was gcmsnow.com, and yours was gcmsnotes.ca, right? My notes also contain repetitive personal info - I think that's what the system generates because that's our info being assessed...

    Thanks legalfalcon! I'm thinking any update is a good thing since in any case, I did my best with the documents, so hopefully any update brings me closer to PPR)) But it was good to read your comment :) I know a lot of people had their BG go back and forth, but I thought that was between "not...

    Ok so I got first update of my profile in 4.5 months. Didn't get an email, just logged in to myCIC and the status was "updated", so it could be today or a few days ago, I was trying not to check my profile daily)) The update was that BG went from "not started" to "not needed at this time".

    I'm not 100% sure but I think the phrase about eligibility being met in the RPRF request is standard and a relic from the times of paper applications. As for myCIC account, the eligibility review will stay in progress til the very end, until you get your passport stamped with the PR visa, no...

    Why are you expecting to be asked that? You submit your IELTS at the time of application, by providing your IELTS certificate's data in the e-APR. They usually don't ask for anything else. Even if your application is transferred to LVO, it might not be in your country. The LVOs are for regions...

    As far as I know, BG is IP from early stages for FSW Inlanders (maybe CEC, too, not sure), and goes IP close to the end of processing for FSW Outlanders.

    GCMS Notes

    You know what, the more I think about it, the more it seems like a liiiitle bit of a fraud. Maybe we should let the IRCC know that someone is impersonating them?
