My only thoughts about "visa office eligibility review" is that it refers to the portion of work left to do before medicals are issued - i.e. background checks. Are the documents and work experience letters authentic?SatishMan said:dear pun123 and always+ve
We have same visa office and same date of file sent and per received. but can u tell me wat is the Ecas status of yours ? I found that there is one more step after Received by VO of Eligibility Review complete by VO
Is any ND vo applicant, who got 2nd AOR is getting the status of Ecas of Eligibility Review comple by VO ?

Congrats Pun123 and tryresistingme ! Am genuinely glad to see ND VO has kept drizzling 2nd AORtryresistingme said:I have received 2nd AOR from NDVO, if anybody wants to update in the file. They have asked for photographs again, weird...as i had already sent them the photos.
Hope all is in order,,,and rest is standard reply...its a hard copy....no email!
I totally agree with you and what you say makes 100% sense but i was referrting to the Singapore office AOR on page 1071 posted by our friend Kathe which clearly states that they will do another elegibility test. I was just highlighting the discrepancies in 2nd AOR of different VO's.Cappuccino said:I don't see how the visa office can re-do the eligibility review. CIO and visa office are both operated by CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada).
Up until the CIO eligibility review, if a candidate is rejected their processing fees are refunded. Once it makes it past the review to visa office, the processing fees are not refunded.
If CIO granted a final positive eligibility review, and then visa office got the file, did their own eligibility review and decided to reject the application, but keep all the fees anyway, this IMO would be highly immoral, bordering on extortion.
It would basically be "We've found you eligibile, now we mail it to this office. Oh, actually we've decided you're ineligibile now (even though no information has changed) but we're going to keep all the money you gave us anyway". IMO they'd be on rather dodgy legal grounds with such a level of unfairness.
So once CIO has found you to be finally eligibile, I don't think visa office can fail your application for anything other than background checks (authenticity of documents and work experience letters etc), security checks and medicals.

As I replied to another user, IMO this "eligibility" test at VO does not involve assessing that your duties match the NOC list, or calculating that you have 67 points. But rather the background checks - ensuring your documents are authentic etc, which is obviously something which requires local knowledge and which CIO cannot be reasonably expected to do. And perhaps running an employment verification to confirm that the experience you have claimed is geniune.kolhapuri said:I totally agree with you and what you say makes 100% sense but i was referrting to the Singapore office AOR on page 1071 posted by our friend Kathe which clearly states that they will do another elegibility test.

Wayne, this makes a lot of sense to me and i'm 100% with you on this. VOs are receiving whole bunch of applications in a batch and thats why we see this disorder in 2nd AORs. +1 from meCappuccino said:Actually I am expecting most of the 2nd AORs + medical requests to be a bit askew with regards dates they are sent out.
Firstly, visa offices will receive a whole bunch of applications in a batch as they are delivered by diplomatic courier. As such, those applications which got PER right at the end of the batch will still arrive at the visa office on the same day as those applications who got PER right at the start of the batch. So for example, two applications with PERs one to tow months apart could arrive at the visa office on the same day.
Secondly, once at the visa office, we believe background checks are performed prior to requesting medicals. For straightforward cases with everything in order, this I think is largely a question of the immigration officer convincing themselves that the educational and work experience documents are completely genuine, and may involve a single 30 minute check or so. But if they have any doubts, then they will investigate further with employment verification checks etc. I also understand they will do this anyway to a random small percentage of applications in order to act as a deterrent.
For this reason 2nd AORs and medical requests may seem in a bit of a random order in comparison to the date the application arrived at CIO and the date the PER was sent.
The above is just my own guesses from what I have read and heard so please draw your own conclusions as well!

Totally agree. Poorly worded is the correct description. They should have called it application verification/ aoolication checks or some such thing instead of eligibilityCappuccino said:As I replied to another user, IMO this "eligibility" test at VO does not involve assessing that your duties match the NOC list, or calculating that you have 67 points.

If my suspicions are correct then "visa office eligibility review" is poorly worded. Since every part of selection admissability other than background/security checks + medicals has already been done by CIO.
