Formal checks were done by cic and they decided we are eligible they created file -- in process
Application received : Cic send file to CIO and final decision Pending
It's only my understanding
I guess, on First hand the Application for PR is going to "In-Process", then If CIC has requested any additional documents then it is first going to "Application Received" once the document is provided. I guess, then again the VO has to verify the submitted document(s), then he will mark it "In-Process" from "Application Received". Remember that this is an online process and so this file will be kind of adjourned to revisit at a later date and by the time he makes it, A BG check which is already initiated might be arrived by the time the VO arrives to revisit the file, then will he will make a decision to Request PPR or etc. If the BG result is not yet arrived, then he will simply change it to "In-Process" to make sure this file needs decision and waiting for BG results. This is just a guess work based on my observations in EE with a very very limited approved cases known to us and I might be wrong too. Since this is an online process MyCIC, and ECAS is for GCMS notes, they have to coordinate with both the systems and sometimes lack of good training the VOs might be ambiguous with the judgement process from day to day processing on different files and this includes those submitted manually to CIO-Sydney. I mean the same team might have to do a rotational transition to EE applications and might be confusing themselves and others (like us
) as well.
Bottom-line: Applications with Status from "In-Process" to "Application Received" means that they were Reviewing the Application Completeness (by definition from CIC Processing), which might then allow them to upgrade the status to "In-Process" once the verification is completed and found success. Also, we have to note that the CIC gets the submitted e-APRs then they have to create a GCMS record for the every application they received via MYCIC, and once this e-APR is updated in the GCMS (You see it ECAS) then the CIO-Sydney or the responsible office might be changing the status in GCMS based on the notes in the Applications.
