    Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.

    My application was probably stuck in eligibility review required since last October until most recent. However, my gcms note suggests that RR was placed by the central intake office agent in the first place and went untouched before my files were transferred to Montreal office. So it really...

    Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.

    Hey folks, I learned from my latest GCMS note that my file was transferred from the Ottowa visa office to the Montreal visa office. My stream is FSW-O and Aug 29, 19 AoR. I just got off the phone call with IRCC agent and was informed that my eligibility was finally passed (been under review for...

    My case is still not finalized yet. The latest webform reply suggests my eligibility might be met (it says "The background verifications are currently valid" other than "The criminal background verification is currently valid. " -- something I never came across before so guess it was supposed to...

    Just got GCMS note I ordered on Jan 20th. My file has been transferred to Montreal Office and I heard it is entirely shut down. Maybe that is the cause of my processing delay...

    I am stuck at Eligibility Review Required.. Need Help

    Same here, my eligibility was cleared but got RR due to changing my marital status. The point is I'm simply changing from common-law to legal spouse but they somehow still consider I'm adding a new application under my name. And I just feel it's unfair to people adding dependent that we are...

    I got a very generic reply for a recent webform inquiry: Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application is still in process. All the required documents and information have been...

    Alright, I just got off the call with IRCC and felt kinda confused about their updates. I was informed that my eligibility was still under review but it seemed to be not associated with my prior concern about job experience calculation. They told me my eligibility was passed and finalized but...

    Help with documents preparation delay after ITA due to the coronavirus outbreaks!!

    I feel for you and sorry about all the inconvenience you have to cope with given the virus outbreak. Hope your family is doing well. My suggestion would be staying patient and preparing all the other materials. The virus spread is slowly getting contained outside Hubei province so as long as...

    Is PhD research experience counted as work experience?

    I think it should be counted but you'd better go check NOC for postdoc. It's more of an issue whether you work under the same NOC depends on which immigration program you are going for.

    Thanks a lot, folks! I may draft a letter of explanation to request their recalculation of my scores. It just shocks me that over four months they cannot fix a simple calculation mistake...

    Is PhD research experience counted as work experience?

    You must be appointed as TA or RA or other paid positions on campus and at least have one continuous year of employment (1560 hours).

    I am really appreciative of your suggestions! I've placed another gcms order recently and hope to get it soon so that I could realize whether this issue has been solved. Fingers crossed!

    No worries at all! I guess the agent might just take a wrong calculation and throw away my application till now. Would you suggest writing an arguing letter to prod them a bit?

    I see, would you mind clarifying the Test score equivalency chart for me? I still consider my language tests are CLB 9 equivalent based on the chart and that is what their notes reflect upon my submission (3+yrs intl wrk & CLB9+allOL). Thanks for your close reading and helpful tips...

    Hmmm wait. I forgot to mention my work experience is totally foreign. I'm supposed to claim 50 points for 3 yrs experience with my IELTS score, correct?

    Unfortunately no, the other notes are about R10 and criminality. The only possible causes of 25 points difference I can find according to CRS criteria are education and work experience based on whether I get CLB 9. My IELTS scores are R9 L8.5 W7 S7 so perfectly in line with CLB 9 standard. Also...

    Hopefully, the senior agent will correct it. Unfortunately, my case is still under RR given my most recent call with IRCC but they assure me that it is just a normal process since they have not asked for more documents regarding my job experience.

    I am stuck at Eligibility Review Required.. Need Help

    Hey folks, my application is also stuck in eligibility RR since last Oct (my AOR is Aug 29, 2019). I happened to learn it from a gcms note that I ordered a while ago and made a call to IRCC today to confirm this situation. The weird thing is that they have not asked for any additional documents...
