Hello everyone
Been a minute
Aor - 18 Jan 21
I got ADRs (Schedule A, Proof of Income, PCC & Remedicals) on 23 Feb, submitted on 24 Feb and got acknowledgment on 25 Feb. I did upfront remedicals on 16 Feb and it got passed on 26 Feb. The ADR section also changed to ‘Not Applicable’ on 01 Mar. Background check remained “we are processing”. I’ve not heard anything since then and I don’t know what to deduce.

Update: I called IRCC and they confirmed all verifications checked and completed since Feb 28, just final approval/RFV notification. I’m just wondering what may be causing the delay.

What does your profiles say when IRCC extended the medical? My GCMS notes say Medical Passed - Expired. I have not received any communication to retake the medical test. Could it be because I am already in Canada? My Profile on IRCC website says " You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes." @legalfalcon

Dear members and @legalfalcon,

I recieved my gcms notes and i am worried about the indications its imply. My concerns are-
1. Why there is Review Required for all A11.2, R87, R75 and R75 and still written Ready to Finalize?
2. In PNP Nominations its written Province matches current residence-yes. Whereas i am in India since AOR.
3. In work experience only my 2nd company is mentioned, whereas i have worked in 3 companies. Were they unable to verify that or didnt do it?

Please have a look at the below gcms content and kindly interpret it for me. Thanks

1. Why there is Review Required for all A11.2, R87, R75 and R75 and still written Ready to Finalize?
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.

2. In PNP Nominations its written Province matches current residence-yes. Whereas i am in India since AOR.
Did you ever live in Canada, or was you address on file when you submitted your application in Canada of the nomination Province?

3. In work experience only my 2nd company is mentioned, whereas i have worked in 3 companies. Were they unable to verify that or didnt do it?
Did you claim points for all, and if you did, did it exceed what was required?

@legalfalcon i have never been to canada and hence didnt mentioned in application also. I may have written by mistake, where can i check for that?

Q3. In work experience only my 2nd company is mentioned, whereas i have worked in 3 companies. Were they unable to verify that or didnt do it?
Did you claim points for all, and if you did, did it exceed what was required?
@legalfalcon i am a SINP nominee candidate and showed 10years of experience for that. Same i showed in EE application, is this the reason?

Hii all and @legalfalcon
Does anyone know what does we are reviewing your eligibility and processing your background check means? How long will it take to get ppr?
Thanks in advance

What does your profiles say when IRCC extended the medical? My GCMS notes say Medical Passed - Expired. I have not received any communication to retake the medical test. Could it be because I am already in Canada? My Profile on IRCC website says " You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes." @legalfalcon

Mine was exactly the same before they extended it. It means it expired. You may receive re-medical or extension, not sure based on what logic they pick one or the other

Hello everyone and @legalfalcon


I've received an additional ADR for proof of funds and have a few questions.
The ADR reads as follows:
"Proof of funds: Provide 6 months of bank statements from [Bank A] and [Bank B], for your settlement funds. Please include explanations for any large deposits and/or transfers."

My questions are:

1. Do I only provide 6-months bank statements as stated in the request or will I have to provide a new letter from the banks showing average funds in addition to the statements?

2. Do the bank statements have to be stamped and signed on each page or will PDFs downloaded from net/online-banking work?

3. What (percentage or amount) proportionate to the settlement funds qualifies as a large deposit and/or transfer?

Thanks for your help in advance.
