what kind of proof did you show for POF and how much?
Savings account, almost 7k beyond LICO for a family of two. Even considering the recent CAD to BRL depreciation since may, I am still around 5500-6k CAD beyond LICO. Accounts are in my spouse´s name only, but she signed a No Objection Declaration, I have issued a public power of attorney letter from a brazilian notary for each POF account (brazilian banks only recognize banking representatives if you issue this document), and the bank where the funds currently are in stated that I am her spouse and attorney-in-fact, with full acess to her account in their official letter (plus all the basic information required from IRCC, plus that the funds are unencumbered and readily transferable).

I had to transfer the funds from a previous institution (actually an investment broker) late february, because the previous financial institution had refused to state fund liquidity and my acess to her account, but I have shown their own official letter (which had all the basic information required from IRCC) and feb/2018 statement + transfer slip from that institution to the current one to prove that the money had just been moved from one place to another, but that it had always been sitting there for 6+ months (so I actually showed a 9 month POF history). All documents not in english have certified translations and I´ve indexed everything to make the officer´s analysis easier. I´ve also included a LOE for POF (I´ve actually written a POF to clarify/explain all sections that weren´t obvious to understand).

i see, that is a lot of documentation maybe thats why they needed an additional review. i wouldnt worry too much as the Officer will most likely pass it.

That´s what I figured - and I already expected that for POF. I´m PNP and showed a similar POF at my OINP application and went through without ADR or PFL, only a bit slower than OINP average (99 days versys 60-90 days estimates). Since the notes only stated review without any remarks, I believe the review is just for the fact my POF isn´t a clear cut.

Still in queue for officer. Last note was June 1st (refer to my post 2 page 91) and no new notes since. Last note was Case Analyst. Called CIC for the last time July 20 and status was still the same. File moved to IP2 because criminality is already passed (brazilian PCCs are eletronically generated and very easy to verify, never lived outside Brazil).

I'll call CIC again next monday and order new GCMS, as well.

Hi All,

I am a Permanent Resident of Canada.

I want to order GCMS notes on my sister's behalf. She has applied through express entry.

Does anyone have a sample format or template for Consent Letter required for authorization.

I appreciate all valuable inputs in advance!

Thanks & Regards

appears that they need a review of your work exp at HDFC. did you not provide roles and responsibilities? can you post your full notes on google drive. it looks like applications with review required just go into a black hole for a few months.

Hi all,
I have a question about something on my GCMS notes and would appreciate if someone could help me out.

I sent my application in on the 1st of April and passed my medicals on the 11th of April. Then I remained in IP1 for about 3 months.
I applied for GCMS notes on the 16th of July and subsequently moved to IP2 on the 23rd of July, which is where I am now.

I received the GCMS notes today and they say:
Eligibility: Recommend Passed
Security: Not Started
Criminality: Not Started
Medical: Passed

However I found it also says -
R10 OK Recommendation: Review Required pending stat question

Can anyone help me with what this might mean? Thank you so much for your time and help.
Cheers!

I am not expert but what i understand you are under Security Screening. The ACTIVITY 1-4 highlights tre info exchange between IRCC-CBSA-CSIS which may have been redacted

You can see this info if you order CBSA notes
