Do any of the seniors have any idea about what this would entail? I'm intrigued.
Hello,

I have the same status additional review required. I dint order gcms notes, i got this info on phone. Make sure inform your employer and prepare them for job duties etc.

2 things changed in my online application!!

1. My Background check FINALLY went to 'Not applicable'
2. Under "Review of additional documents" and it now says "We do not need additional documents" (university transcripts were being reviewed until today, I had submitted them around June 5th).

At least some movement!!

hi I called cic this morning and the agent said I order the CGMS note a couple of weeks ago and this put my file on hold which the agent has to request all the information from previous offices. This is the reason why it's delayed. Can anybody explain if it's correct? The security is not started. Thanks
Not at all. GCMS are ordered under the ATIP Act which is a separate department in every agency. It has no impact on the processing of your application.

If our supervisor get s call from CIC for verification and cic asked him about the duties he mentioned ...then he may not be able to answer them all which he has mentioned ..

I have been intrigued by this too @legalfalcon, your take?
Its very possible for the employer to not remember such details, can he revert later to them or will it create unnecessary doubt?

Let me give you the first rule of corroboration, be it in the court room during cross examination or during an investigation:

As humans we do multiple things every day. If I ask anyone what they did a month ago and if the answer I get is flawless, with details, then there is a reason to be suspicious and this concludes that either the person is lying or has been tutored.

This is the same way how the IRCC phone call works. If your supervisor is asked about an employee, and he simply confirms that the employee works at the office, and performs x, y, z duties, that is sufficient. IRCC does not expect them to narrate the entire job duties. There may also be an instance where the supervisor does not even remember the employee by name, and may have to check his database to confirm, this is perfectly normal.

Now, if the supervisor narrates the exact things written in the reference letter, then there is a big red flag.

I hope you got the crux of this.
