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

As humans were 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 got you got the crux of this.

You are right ... thanks
Fingers crossed ..

HI,
I applied visitor visa extension on 9th June, but no response yet. Kindly advise how long it may take to complete the process ?
My visitor visa will expire on 28th june, already applied for PR, waiting for the PPR. CEC INLAND
How can i contact the CIC to know about the status of my visitor visa application?

I would really appreciate if anyone can help me on this topic.

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.

Thanks hope the agent was wrong

Can you share your timeline ?

After your AOR, when you notice the first change in your BG it is IP1, it mostly is as, "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." Then after few days it again changes to Not Applicable.
Then after 30-40 days on average it again changes to ,"in progress", this stage is referred as IP2 on forum. After this stage generally PPR is issued in 2-15 days, if all is good. So these are the 2 steps, hope it helped.

P.S- IP1 and IP2 are steps made by forum members to better understand which background check is being referred to, i.e the first one after AOR or the second one i.e just before PPR. CIC does not uses these terms.

Is it possible that some people get N/A twice for background check? I passed medicals on April 12th and didn't check my app until end of May. From May 30th to June 23rd it said "we are processing your background check, we will message...", and today it changed to N/A.

Not sure what that means...

Anyone knows what is the PR application visa office for Qatar residence? is it UAE visa office or another one?
Qatar visa office doesn't process the PR applications.
