Hello,
Here is CIC feedback I recently received, explained that there is nothing pending from my side. The application status "Your Action is Required" means that my application package is under VISA OFFICE review of my country. Therefore All the questions (if any) should be adressed there as it is not under Canadian office responsibility any more.

Cheers,
Jofrei

@legalfalcon is this sounds OK to you

Hi legalfalcon,
Each situation is unique, what I see on forums is that the Express Entry ones move fast 1-4 weeks in "your action is required " status. Can say on my belalf, as soon got "your action is requred" means CIC Canada transfered my application package to local office in Romania and is waiting for their feedback. I received confirmation from Romania office that they are elaborating my documents and there is no need additional inputs from my side. Just waiting.

Hope it helps,

Best regards,
Jofrei

The status change and what they mean is just speculation.
All application as per IRPA (Immigration and Refugee Protection Act), the law under which the applications are processed have the following stages:

R10
Criminality
Medicals
Eligibility
Security

So when looking at your immigration application, see what stage you are at. To read more on each stage see https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

I Worte a post on visa offices, the relevant part states:

2. Visa Office

There has been an obsession of finding which visa office the application is at. Many threads on this forum start with explaining how to find your visa office. Let's get to the crux of it. Finding the visa office was very relevant pre- express entry. Even after the introduction of express entry in 2015, the same practice was followed which usually was for the paper based application, but that is no longer the case. Earlier all application followed the following trajectory:


Central Intake Office - Case Processing Centre - Local Visa Office

However, this has radically changed and for all express entry, all application follow the following:

1. Central Intake Office - The R10 (completeness check) is done at the Central Intake Office for all classes (FSW / PNP / CEC). Now even the criminality and medicals are done at CIO.

2. Case Processing Centre - There are 4 case processing offices of IRCC, which are as follows:

Sydney, Nova Scotia - Seals with the following:

• provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Non-Express Entry applications
• Centralized Intake Office – Immigrant Investor Program (IIP)
  
• Centralized Intake Office – Quebec Skilled Workers (QSW)
  
• Centralized Intake Office – Start Up Business Class
• Centralized Intake Office – Self Employed (SE)
• Centralized Intake Office – Quebec Business Class (QBC)
• Centralized Intake Office – Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program

Now has started doing eligibility for EE applications in limited numbers.

Vegreville, Alberta
Deals with Specialized permanent resident application. Those following in the category of Medical needs, work permits, work permits for spouses, study permits, co-op permits. EE applications which have a downgraded category.

This is the place where you EE application will land if any of the members in the application have a medical condition. This is where determinations of refusal, monitoring etc are made.

Now has started doing eligibility for EE applications in limited numbers.

Mississauga, Ontario
Only deals with family class PR applications.
No EE applications are dealt here so far.

Ottawa, Ontario
This is the most important processing office for all EE, and it is also the Local Visa Office for in-land applicants and those applying from USA.

3. Local Visa Office - This is the office where you will be asked to submit your passport after your application has been approved. Usually the consulate in your home country.

These days all application after starting at CIO (where R10 is met), either start the processing of eligibility at CIO itself, or move to CPC (wither Ottawa, Sydney, or Vegreville), or are straight sent to the LVO. The trend has been to complete most of the processing between CIO and CPC. Since the applications are electronically stored, there is no movement of physical files.

SUGGESTION - There is no point sending emails to ask which VO your application is at, as that process is moot since the eligibility can even start at CIO. So save yourself some time and efforts and also save the human resources of IRCC and stop sending emails. Even if you know which VO your application is at, it means nothing. Most applications which are processed within weeks and get PPR, are processed at CIO, and this is a much faster way.

A few applications will see eligibility passed, and then go to not started when the application is sent to the LVO. This is because the final review is done at the LVO, and the local agent may decide to conduct additional review, or identification before the eligibility is finally set to PASSED.

Hello everyone please am worried about something. I got pre arrival letter last week Friday, no medical request yet this look strange to me. I live and work in Manitoba, got my provincial nominee and LMIA from emploer. But the pre arrival letter is confusing

 

[neochanges1]

Hello, after we submitted whatever it is that they're requesting ( in this case, in regards with my sister's education). They gave us until October 20 to submit it which we already did last week, will we hear from them after Oct 20 or prior would anybody know?

Thanks!

Hey guys, my country of residence has changes after my AOR. I raised a webform and informed cic about my new address but didn't hear anything back from them. Do they respond to such actions or there is no response from them in such case?
