Dear members (and @legalfalcon),
I have submitted Schedule A for a background check upfront and I have some doubts about some of my answers. My situation is as follows:
1- I have two BA degrees. In my application I have mentioned only the first one since the second one was not evaluated at WES.
2- I have a refused visitor visa application to Canada for sure. I might have had another one refused to France but I am not sure about it since I visited this country many times.

My questions are:
1- In schedule A I didn't mention anything about the second BA major. Do I have to raise a webform and send them another Schedule A with updated education history?

2- Are the following answers correct taking into account the 2nd point mentioned above:
* 6-(d): been refused refugee status, an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificate de selection du Quebec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial Nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?---> I answered YES
* 6-(e) been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country? ----> I anwered NO

3- In the explanation I have mentioned only the refusal of the visitor visa application to Canada since I am not sure about the second one. Is this ok?

If my answers are not correct can I submit a new Schedule A form via a webform since my eligibility has not yet started as per the GCMS notes that I have just received?
Thank you so much in advance.

My employment letter didn't have hours mentioned in it and they have put in in review. Should I send them updated letter via webform or I should wait for them to communicate about it. Does that mean, they didn't consider my experience at all or they will try to contact my employer for same.
Last activity on my file is May, 2021. Nothing after that.
Thanks for help!

My take on that - yes, of course, send an updated version. Don't wait until they make the final decision. Also don't forget to include a letter of explanation with your webform.

Hi all, I called IRCC again :)

This was my 3rd time in 6 months. Last time I called in May they said my case was not with an officer yet. This time they said an officer is working on our case, therefore eligibility is conclusively passed (hallelujah!). Also the agent said criminality and security is not started, however he also said "has not started" is not always mean not started, because apparently they can work on your case in the background and without the status ever saying "in progress" it might directly change to passed/failed.

He also said that lots of outland cases are finalized these days, so I guess our day is coming!

Are you using IRCC Call Centre number : (1-888-242-2100) ? After hearing all the automatic messages the call is getting hang-up. Please share the number.

What's your VO?
 
May I ask how long it takes you to get the note? I ordered on June 21 but I had not received anything yet.

Thanks!

Hi All FSW/PNP Outland members. I have looked further into my GCMS notes and under the Security section the status is Not Started and the Due date is set to late February 2022. Anyone who recently got the GCMS notes noticed this in your applications? I am wondering if this could be an indication of good amount of time we can expect to wait before seeing any progress on the applications. Secondary Visa Office is CPC-Ottawa.

May be due date in Feb 2022 is in line with your medical expiry date which basically implies that your file should be processed before Feb 2022. I am not sure though.
