Dear Mr. Jnathan:
First of all you made mistake PSDEC is not application submitted date.
Mind it we all are applicants of
simplified system.
Simplified kits and forms have been developed to guide applicants through the application process. Applicants are required to complete and submit a
three-page form along with the processing fees, which secures them a place in the processing line.
All supporting documents will be requested at a later date, usually about four months before the visa office is ready to assess the application. A letter of receipt provides advice to the applicant on labour-market preparation. The letter also encourages applicants to take advantage of the waiting period. For example, some applicants could use this time to start courses to improve their language skills.
For Example:
I applied on December 12, 2006 and got full documents request on November 4, 2009 and in my CAIPS my PSDEC one Nov 4, 2009
You got my point ???
Now come to new circular
Under proposed legislation, CIC will close the files of FSW applicants who applied before February 27, 2008, and
for whom an immigration officer has not made a decision based on selection criteria by March 29, 2012. This is expected to affect around 280,000 applicants, including their dependants. CIC will begin the process of returning the full amount of fees paid to the Department by these affected FSW applicants. For those who have passed the selection criteria stage – approximately 20,000 people – CIC will continue processing their applications until they are approved for entry into Canada or not.
Now a decision based on selection criteria:
A "decision based on selection criteria" means that an immigration officer:
• has assessed your FSW application against the points grid, and
• has made a decision on whether or not you meet the selection criteria of the program.
Currently, the pass mark is 67 points out of a grid worth 100 points. The grid considers the person's:
• ability in English and/or French
• education
• work experience
• age
• whether they have a job already arranged in Canada (arranged employment), and
• how well they might adapt to living in Canada (which awards points for things like previous work or study in Canada, spouse's education and relatives in Canada).
I
f your application is successful, you would move to the next phase (i.e. admissibility). At that point you would be checked against health, security and criminality requirements before being allowed to enter Canada.
If you do not score at least 67 on the FSW points grid, your application would be refused and CIC would inform you of the decision.
According to my CAIPS Visa officer assessed my file based on submitted documents and marked me on September 24, 2010,
I think you are clear.
For your kind information Singapore visa office asked to pay our landing fee along with our full documents.
Now think how did SVO ask for landing fee before medial?
SELDEC is variable...
I am not interested to talk with you about this matter. You are no longer 2006 applicants.
Yes I promise, I will meet with you face to face...!!

zafrulbd,
(1)
SELDEC =0 means you didnt cross the selection decision. may be they'd award you that later but
with the latest announcement of the chopping on the Pre Feb 2008 applicants, things look very
much uncertain now with times coming closer for the bill to get passed in the upcoming parliament
session. Harper's conservative party has the majority so this file is surely gonna pass if
presented before the parliament.
(2) The most clear indication of this is with the entry
of “PSDEC 1” (eligible) at the visa office. Once PSDEC 1 is entered, processing time begins.
Accordingly, processing times for Skilled Worker applications are measured from PSDEC 1 to
either SELDEC 5, 6 or FINDEC 1, 2, 4."
PSDEC (Paper Screening Decision) is the first step - basically done as part of the AOR process or
immediately after. While the AOR only confirms that you have submitted all required documentation
and required fee for your file processing to begin, the PSDEC is the first step in verifying if
that documentation meets the requirements of the PR class you apply for and also ensuring other
information is available as required . CIC staff also conduct additional checks on parts of your
documentation (like calling up employers to verify your experience letters, checking other
documentation with relevant authorities like the tax dept., embassies etc). All this is done by
different folks in the visa office and some (if not all) of this could be logged in your CAIPS.
Once all these checks are complete (very subjective as it depends on the amount of info you
submitted and the sources of that info as well), the file goes to the immigration officer for
review/approval. He/she reviews the docs as well as the notes made by the various visa office
staff and if he/she is satisfied an IA will be issued along with a medical request. Else, you
will get a further document request/interview request based on what they feel the gaps are in
your documentation/history. (they may request a medical in parallel to these as well).
Security/background checks are random and happen usually after medicals (but there could be
exceptions i guess)
The whole process seems to be controlled by Bring Forward dates (BFW) with a bring forward date
set each time an action/set of actions is initiated. If those actions complete within the BFW,
your file could be picked up for the next step and if the BFW pops without any result from the
previous action, the staff check if there are delays in the process and push the bfw back by
sometime to allow for this action to complete. BUt what i suspect is happening nowadays is that
with the large volumes of applications in the queue, even if an action is complete within the BFW
date nothing is done till the BFW date pops and even then it looks like they just extend the BFW
date a few more months.
If someone has not passed PSDEC, he/she cannot have SELDEC passed. Passing PSDEC does not mean
you'll get pass SELDEC , as you can see they are returning the applications of $300,000 and most
of them had passed the PSDEC but couldnt pass the selection Decision.
(3) Example : PAPER FILE SENT TO PA FILE BF'D TO: CPT ON 15-01-2006
This example above, from the Canadian High Commission London, means that the file is currently in
the storage area "PA".

(4)
File BF'D to : PSD NO (DATE MONTH YEAR) Microlocator ?
It means , Your last BF'D was on DATE MONTH YEAR, and it is now inside the Storage area and
frozen.
(5)
IMM 1017S Requested or they sent yopu the filled up IMM 1017S ?
it is the Medical request. sent for whom?
(6) Why in Caips VIEW MEDICAL ASSESSMENT FOR INTER FAMILY (Y/N) =Y
What is the Ecas status now? The applicant seems to have received the MR or stalled for whatever
reasons at the decision level whether or not to dispatch the MR by the VO to the applicant.
(7)
M H D T S . E => they correspond to the medical conditions and the following
are the corresponding codes gioven for each of the conditions. all 1's ; It means you passed and
have no medical conditons of interest.
M - Statement of Medical Status
M1 No health impairment sufficient to prevent admission
M2 Has a condition for which the degree of risk to public health or safety is not sufficient to
exclude admission, but which risk should be considered in relation to other personal and social
criteria.
M3 Has a condition for which the potential demand on health or social services is not sufficient
to exclude admission, but which risk should be considered in relation to other personal and
social criteria.
M4 Has a condition which is likely to endanger public health or safety to such an extent that the
applicant is at present inadmissible, but for which the expected response to treatment is such
that future admission could be considered.
M5 Has a condition which is likely to cause demand on health or social services to such an extent
that the applicant is not at present admissible, but for which the expected response to treatment
is such that future admission could be considered.
M6 Has a condition which is a danger to public health or safety and which is not likely to
respond to treatment in such a way as to allow admission in the foreseeable future.
M7 Has a condition which could cause excessive demand on health or social services, and which is
not likely to respond to treatment.
