Wanted to share an insight for people who are waiting for 2nd line update or are waiting for MR after 2nd line update:
My friend who has exactly same timeline as mine (until 2nd line update) is still waiting for MR. We have been batchmates during college and currently working in same organization and had very similar profiles; however, we were surprised to see that I got MR immediately one day after 2nd line update, whereas, he is still waiting for it. He is considering applying for GCMS notes but noticed something very interesting today morning. Both of us Linkedin profiles were viewed one month ago (when I got 2nd line update and MR) by the same person whose title is First Secretary, Govt. of Canada. My profile is very much in tune to what I provided to CIC in terms of my work experience and the organisations that I have worked for. Unfortunately, my friend had not maintained his profile well enough and had listed only the current organisation. There was no mention of other 2 companies that he has worked in the past and for which he had sent the experience letters to CIC. So, we are thinking that maybe lack of information or mismatch of information with Linkedin profile has triggered "Misrepresenation" check or background verification for him which has delayed his MR. Obviously, background verification cannot be triggered for all candidates and it is done for some where CIC suspects the credentials.
I strongly advise forum members who have not received MR yet to pls update your Linked profiles with names of organisations that you have worked for and mention the time period as well. Avoid mentioning job responsibility details but do mention the job title as listed on your experience letters that you have shared with CIC.
My inference could be wrong, but there is no harm in taking this proactive step. To validate this, forum members who got their MR within 2 weeks of 2nd line update can share if their Linkedin profile was updated appropriately when they got the 2nd line update. If we get most answers as yes, then my inference could be right. Thank you for reading this and good luck to all!
