GCMS notes help...REVIEW REQUIRED

[Ltr18]

Any update? Please tell us!

Hello I got the update - my Medicals vanished from passed so I called IRCC and agent told me, my security hass been passed, medicals, criminality Passed. file was touched yesterday still Eligibility is Review required. AOR May 2023

I wonder How come if they touched my file yesterday then passed Security but Eligibility is RR. usually after Eligibility Security starts right?

No ADR yet or any decision. worried about approval. please let me know what I can expect? Agnet said extensive work has been done on my application yesterday so hoping to get something soon. they are aware file has crossed processing time he said.

Here is my old post on RR:


Understanding “Review Required”

A lot of applicants see “review required” in their GCMS notes for eligibility. There are many theories floating around with regard to what “review required” means and if it is alarming.

Before I venture into explaining the significance, it is important to understand that each application goes through the following stages as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations (Canadian Immigration Law):

R10 – Completeness Check
Criminality
Medicals
A11.2 – eligibility
Security

Out of the above, the most important stage is eligibility. This is also the most time-consuming stage because your documents have to be verified, evaluated and assessed to ascertain that you meet the eligibility criteria for the program you have applied (FSW / CEC / FTW). To stream line this process and make it easier for an immigration officer (decision making authority), all applications are first evaluated by case analysts or program assistants. They review the documents and summarize it in the GCMS. If they have any concerns with any document or want the immigration officer to carefully look into a specific document, they will flag it as “review required.” It is the content of the note that is important here. If the review required is for a specific document, while the summary of the note says that an applicant has met the eligibility, or “ready to finalize” it simply means that while the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, but the specific document needs a careful examination form the officer before promoting (eligibility pass) by the officer.

However, if there are concerns, there will be a review required for the eligibility, and there will be no text to the effect “ready to finalize” or pass. The note will specifically state job duties do not match, or the employment cannot be verified, or the number of years of work experience claimed cannot be verified. This is where an application can land in muddy waters. But the final decision rests on the immigration officer. He may override the decision of the analyst / assistant or go with the analysis of the analyst / assistant.

Even in cases where the analyst / assistant is of the opinion that the applicant has met the eligibility, and there is no “review required,” the officer can replace it with his own opinion. Though rare, but it does happen. This is why the eligibility is only passed when an officer conclusively marks the eligibility as passed.

Finally, there is “review required” for PoF. This is the most common in many applications. This is because, the financial and banking practices of each country are different. Eg. Fixed deposits are know as Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the US. Similarly, treasury bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and many other investment vehicles are there. If your PoF anything other than a bank deposit, it is more likely that it will be marked as “review required.” Also, IRCC does not go by day to day fluctuations in FOREX. Instead, the Canadian federal government issued a quarterly conversion rate for all FOREX vis-a-via CAD. If your PoF is in a foreign currency, then you may have “review required” for the officer to make a determination.

Just because you have “review required” does not mean that you hit the panic mode. Instead, read the context in which it is there. If there is a concern regarding a document, you can send a replacement document via CSE. The most common reasons for RR are:

1. Work reference letter without job duties
2. Work reference letters missing all the details requested by IRCC
3. If you submitted a letter from a colleague because you were unable to get one from your employer, but did not have a LoE on file, this too will lead to RR.
4. Not sufficient work experience in the primary NOC.
5. Inability to verify your employment as your employer details are missing.

There are just some of the scenarios.

Hi! Need your help please. I received this gcms notes. Should I submit additional proof of funds? My application status is still in process for both eligibility and background check. I received my AOR last Feb and since March 27 there’s no update on my tracker and portal.

“R76: Selection Criteria - FUNDS: SETTLEMENT FUNDS ARE NOT MET REVIEW REQUIRED

Summary Notes:
**OFFICER REVIEW SETTLEMENT FUNDS EDOC ****** REGARDING PROVIDENT FUNDS AND INSURANCE**

Ready to finalize”

I applied under PNP and my POF is passed already for NB.

Bonjour j'ai reçu les notes et je ne comprends pas bien

Antécédents passés
Vmf ok
Biométrie ok
Admissibilité en cours

note 1 gcms
L'analyste recommande un examen de l'agent
Étiquette : général

Alors je ne comprends pas pourquoi l'étiquette ne concerne pas l'admissibilité et j'ai reçu une équité procédurale sur cnp

la cnp de mon épouse est notée par l’agent 9914 : nouveau travailleur, le problème vient de là?

Hello I received the notes and I do not understand well

Background check passed

Vmf ok

Biometrics ok

Eligibility in progress
note 1 gcms
Analyst recommends examination of agent
Label: general
So I don't understand why the label isn't about eligibility and I received procedural fairness on cno





my wife's cno is noted by agent 9914: new worker, is that the problem?

Hi @legalfalcon, al though I very much appreciate you responding to this post and taking the time out to reply, the extract from my GCMS notes, if you are able to read the notes, the eligibility part seems fine, but INfact the review Required is seeking to be for the Canadian education credential. However that’s my speculation and I’m not sure which is why I posted it here on this forum for people’s opinions. My points were 434 at the ITA and cut off was 431. But then looks like the officer is not able to verify done document which is why they have said verified crs score 419. So I am wondering if that difference of 15 points is for the Canadian certificate because nothing else is worth 15 points exactly. That’s my concern. Not the JOB eligibility part

Don't worry it's normal, happened to my file as well. the case analyst didn't count my points for education and marked my eligibility as Review required. this happened on 5th nov and I got portal 1 on 12 dec. review required doesn't mean something is wrong.

Thanks for your reply, hope so even my file gets FD soon as I see in gcms notes on 23 Aug 2024 they have last updated after that nothing. Not sure when they will again assign a officer to my file .
