April 2013 Applications

[lpc19800]

still application received

I've seen people have their Ecas say "application received" throughout the whole process.
Nohing to be sad about - you're seeing progress on your file. That can only be good - especially as you only applied in April

I applied for gcms note. Received after 5 weeks. It mentioned criminality check in prosess.

Is criminality check started after eligibility check passed ? or can it go in parallel with eligibility check ?

Hey guys, I applied for GCMS notes on June 7 and got it this morning.
However, I must have done something different because it sent me back a copy of my paper application by email.
But at least it gave me some insights.

Application received: Apr 2
Received AOR: May 14
Ecas status: Application received

There were some notes attached that said:
CIC | KMR (officer's initials) | 03 / 05 / 2013
Scan Error | TP (or something like that) | 06 / 05 / 2013
JAP (or OAP, can't read well) | SL | 08 / 05 / 2013
Created | WN | 14 / 05 / 2013
RCMP check initiated | WN | 14 / 05 / 2013

For the record, I wrote in the forms to be sent to the visa office in Mexico City (they process PRs from my country). I put it as a mistake because I am applying within Canada. The officer cross that and put CPR. So I guess they send applications to Ottawa anyways.

Does it give you info re your application? Is eligibility etc passed? any problems?

Also, what does your ecas say?

I didn't see anything about eligibility passed.
Forgot to add that my Ecas status is "application received"

RCMP stands for Royal Canadian Mounted Police...

Its like Police Clearance from Them...

The RCMP request does vary on person to person, and not every applicant will receive the request

Hi All,

I am an April Applicant. I already got my AOR on 11th June 2013.

I don't have a straight forward letter of reference, hence while filing the application I have provided a cover letter stating all the proofs. My initial cover letter is as follows:


I am hereby attaching the following reference letters from my employer which exhibits my Canadian experience, skills, roles and responsibilities.

a. Letter from employer that has been issued while applying WP – Shows details of client, duties, issuing authority with company details
b. Attached XXXX letter as the work contract letter for Canada, part of additional supporting document asked in section 10 of the checklist
c. Letter from employer issued on date X 2013 for applying country X visa. Though this letter was issued for applying X Visa but it also shows my deputation date to Canada (X date Y Month 2013) exhibiting relevant Canadian experience & annual salary till date
d. Salary Letter with benefits issued on - A Date B Month 2012
e. Pay Stubs – from Jan 2012 till Mar 2013 - Showing monthly working hours
f. Copy of joining letter
As I noticed my deputation date has a typo in the cover letter its 2013, it should have been 2011.

So I am planning to add another cover letter attaching most up to date information. I recently got an updated salary change letter and also a letter showing my current roles and responsibilities while applying renewal of Canadian Visa. The letter contains everything that I we need, the only additional thing mentioned in the letter is "it is issued for applying the canadian visa and personal travel expenses will be borne by the employee" These letters contain most up-to date information,

But I have few questions, please help.

1. Do I need to explicitly mention about the typo in my earlier cover letter? All my docs contain deputation date as 2011

2. I write the second cover letter as follows, seniors please suggest, specially the wordings.
I would like to include the below letters in support of my permanent application as it contains the most up to date information which shall help you in accessing my application. The attached letters include
- Updated Salary structure including benefits
- Up to date reference letter which shows date of deputation (X date Y Month 2011), my roles and responsibilities, hours of work etc

Requesting add these letters to my application and provide an acknowledgement. Thank You for your help !
3. I haven’t mentioned anywhere directly in my cover letter that my employer doesn’t provide a letter of reference but I have indicated which letter contains what piece of information. Do I need to write that my employer doesn’t provide a letter of reference?

Finally received my returned Application Package. I did a very silly mistake that caused my application to be returned. I didn't certify the Bank Check and this caused my return.

Do CIC checks other applications as well before sending us the reasons? Because I have received only this check reason for my application return.

Please suggest if I need to take care of any other thing.

Im exactly in the same position as you are. Sent the WP petition papers but dated way back 2011 but included my roles/responsibilities and provided salary letter including the latest but no reference letter dated in 2013 ( with roles and responsibilities ). Applied on Jun 20th...still waiting for the AOR...am thinking of sending a an email explaining why am not able to provide the up to date reference letter. Will attach email that i received from employer refusing to give one.

Hey Guys,

So when I was checking my status online noticed that my address wasnt mentioned correctly. So I updated my mailing address and after the update it says it would take 15 days to update the information.
They asked for my email address if they would have any problem updating this.

So my question is would there be any delay for the process for me? Also I still do not see any action on the "Application received".

Any suggestions guys???

Hello friends

Could someone add another column for VO on the spread sheet please?, for those of us applying GCMS notes. It may be interesting to see if there's some kind of pattern with the VO's processing our apps.

We might be able to see the slower ones from the faster ones, if there is such thing? who knows
