Hello all,

Received my GCMS notes today and note that Eligibility is Review Required. I have the below concerns:
-- Notes say that points are revised to 0 for work experience. I have supporting documents that can confirm my work experience. Do I still have a chance or is this application beyond that point.
-- Activity Type: Selection-EE Econ has changed from 'Review Required' to 'Cancelled' in the Activity section of GCMS notes. But Assessment still shows Eligibility as Review Required. Will an officer be able to revert decision based on my proactive submission of additional docs?
-- Any idea why Funds are under Review Required?

Please help me understand what is the best course of action now. Thank you!

EE FSW Having analyzed this application based on the documents submitted by the applicant and the information contained in
the file, I make the following recommendation.

You can proactively submit if you want to. However, the VO can either reject or most likely send you a procedural fairness letter, asking you to submit required documents. Once you respond to the letter then they will review your case.

Thank you for your response. I am collecting additional documents and drafting a LOE to support my plea.

When you order GCMS notes. It takes two weeks to a month to receive it and it is free.

Those are concerns they likely have about your application, so it might have gone into review.

I am. Sure if my application went into RR mode then it gonna take more than 1 year to pass eligibility, security and criminality..

Not necessarily, might just mean it has to be reviewed by a senior officer and you could still get your PR approved within the timeline.

The 6 month timeline doesn't mean anything. 20% of the applications go beyond 6 months
 
If your application is tagged as Eligibility Review Required, what does the timeline usually look like? Mine needs to be reviewed by a senior officer. Does anyone have an idea of how long this is going to take? I saw the "review required" tag on June 2020, just submitted biometrics last week, but now the application is past my 6-month timeline. Any idea how long I'll have to wait?

The problem with your application is that your letter of employment reference doesn’t show your salary. Otherwise review will not have been required.
 
Even though I haven't received any formal request to provide new documentation? I found some additional and potentially important information:

File jumps back and forth constantly for Eligibility, and finally goes from CPC-Ottawa to CIO and also a new field pops up: Secondary Office, what does even mean?

Hello, trust you're fine and doing well. Did they contact your employer? what documents did you provide them for proof of work experience? Does your company have online presence? Wondering why they'll need further checks if you met the NOC requirements
