Hi qorax
How are you

"Standard Documentation Checks:
Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress".


Dear Qorax, the statement “An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress" is not clear to me.

Is it meant that the moment the VO assign the 1st BFD, he changes the e-CAS from the status “Received by Visa Office” to the status "In Progress".

OR you mean that once the date of 1st BFD is reached the Visa Officer on that date opens the file and if the Standard background check is fine he immediately changes the e-CAS from the status “Received by Visa Office” to the status "In Progress".

Would you please shed some light on this point, as my status is still RBVO since August 2009?

Thanks

Thanks Qorax, please tell me if I update them at the CHC stage regarding my work experience, would they acknowledge it and award me the points?? or whether based on their previous calculation at the CIO, they won't??
Well I suppose they should award the points, otherwise, in the application based on the previous slow system, the applicants used to get PR's after years and in those years they continued to gain experience and if they hadn't awarded them the points of their post-application period, it would've been unjust to the applicants; just a thought! Please enlighten

Once your file moves to the VO, it means that u have met the points criterion & the MI list check. However, the CHC, yet again, does another Xcheck on the same & "provisionally accepts" your file, then sends u the 2nd AOR.

However, if u have got that letter & u still think u might be on the "median" - u can submit your current exp docs & ask your VO to file it. (not needed to intimate him/her to recalculate - as that could be an unnecessary jinx)

Hello,
I really do not understand Ecas.
At the moment, I have sent my medicals to London and my Ecas status is blank, it does not say IN PROCESS or if medicals received. I know they have received it because my designated doctor told me when it reached the embassy.
Is this something I should worry about?

Relax! That blank e-cas could be just an error... Soon it'll return to "in process" & subsequently reflect "MRR" (med results received).

*MRR usually occurs when the Meds return from PMB-Ottawa as accepted.

That "in progress" was a typo. It should be read as "in process".

As the VO commences the b/ground checks, finds the file to be "provisionally acceptable", s/he writes on CAIPS "in process". -It means that the b/ground check has started... Not Concluded.

So what does it mean after one year of receiving the 2nd AOR and the e-cas status is still "Received by visa office"?

The visa officer did not commence the background check, if so why?
Did s/he calculate my points? If s/he did calculate my points, why did not either proceed to commence the background check or refuse the application? What is for he is waiting?
Or s/he did not calculate my points till now?

Qorax, can you help?

Thank you very much for your effort, contribution and assistance to every one on this board

Hello Qorax,

First of all thanks for being active, sharing serious informations which help so many out there waiting. Wish i could have been hear before sending my final docs to CIC. Well Nonethe rest.

I would be obliged if you can share some light on my issue.

I have summitted my final docs to CIC ND on 4th Aug 2010. Concern is regarding Experience Letters. I have submitted all notorized contract copies of employment, but no upto date Origimal letters on Co. Letter Heads. For current company ,have submitted notorized copy of current work profile described with an original Business Card of My Superior.

What is your view on this. I have informed my superior of such verifications, but will the VO ask for these docs or outright reject my application?

Hoping for your kind revert.

No "in process" till about a yr from the 2nd AOR is definitely a cause of worry. Write an email to your VO asap & obtain your CAIPS notes.

There is no danger of an outright rejection due to the Exp Letters/docs. Relax!

Yes, they might ask u for addnl papers to prove your exp... Await for their query, if any.

Thanks Qorax for an elaborated reply! Actually, my current experience was contractual and I am a bit confused whether they'd award me points for that of not ; I want to submit my current experience at CHC time and would like them to recalculate my points at that time (it's OK if the process delays). Would they recalculate at that time?

Very rare. I'd keep it at 5% only.

As I understand - a Contractual job is taken as a Service Experience too, provided u have docs to prove that.
