Hello, I need help from somebody familiar with "Substituted Evaluation" based in Subsection R76(3) of the "Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations". I applied for permanent residence as a skilled worker outside of Canada in 2006, before the simplified process. The Embassy processing my case asked for more information I considered was appropriate because I got a total of 65 points by the assessment criteria, and this may result in the refusal of my application. I was told I have 60 days to respond and after that my file would be taken to its final conclusion. And no additional time would be granted to provide information.
When I replied, in my letter I decided to request "Substituted Evaluation" because the total of points assessed for the selection criteria were not exact measurement of my entire qualifications to immigrate to Canada. Finally after almost two months of my response I got another letter from the Embassy. But is not an answer yet. It is just a request to update my Schedule 1: Background/Declaration, section 11 (personal history) and 15 (addresses) "before my file can be further processed". The Embassy mentions that upon receipt of the update they "will continue the processing of the application".
What Does this mean? Does anybody know if this means good news, if I'm closer to an application approval and they just need to update the Schedule 1 to complete my file? Or if they are requesting this new information before they can decide my case using "Substituted Evaluation". Does anyone had a similar experience or have asked for "Substituted Evaluation" to decide their case. By the way the letter is still signed by an Immigration Case Analyst. I don't know if this detail says something about the stage of the process.
Pleeeease heeelp!!! Thanks
