what is the reason fir your review stated in gcms?

what is the reason fir your review stated in gcms?

They couldn't have conducted web search for my company, even though it showed up on yellow page. My LOE stated only the period of time that I work as a full time manager, it did not stated the period I worked there as part timer. I was under off campus work permit at that time so I did not think that LOE needs anything but the full time job. Because I stated in my schedule A that I worked for the same company but different job/position/under off campus work permit, but my LOE didn't say anything about the part time job. They put me on second review.

For all this time, cic didn't even call the company to verify.

Hi folks! Just spoke with call center and they gave me a date of end of May, 2016 for second review, which makes my eligibility status as 'in progress.'

As per new BOWP rules, you need to have eligibility status as 'passed' to get BOWP. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp

My current permit is expiring in end of March, 2016. I guess I should start packing my bags.

1. If you already have an AOR from your PR application then there is no need to worry. from what i've read the new BOWP rules dont apply to old (pre 2015) PR applicants. so just apply for your BOWP based on your AOR and extend your status in Canada.

2. If the situation above does not apply to you for whatever reason, I recommend (heed at your own risk) that you apply for your BOWP just 1 week before your current WP expires in March. This will put you in implied status until a decision is made on your BOWP application. Considering that the processing time for a typical WP extension is 100 days (+/- 15 days as of today)... your BOWP application submitted in March wont be reviewed until June!... by which time, hopefully, the 2nd review of your PR application is complete!

Good luck!

Paper APR: determining if a positive eligibility decision has been made
If the paper APR under one of the qualifying economic classes was submitted by mail prior to January 1, 2015, or was submitted outside of the Express Entry system, it must have a positive eligibility assessment in order for the foreign national to be eligible for a BOWP.

The positive eligibility assessment is considered to be made once the status of the Eligibility field in GCMS is set to “Passed” (or “Met” for FSWC applications submitted prior to January 1, 2015) and an Acknowledgment of Receipt letter or email has been sent to the applicant.

Applicants applying for a BOWP must include a copy of their Acknowledgment of Receipt letter with their open work permit application.

Thanks. I think the rule applies to paper applications made before express entry system, as highlighted by heroforest.

I was thinking the same thing to wait until very last to apply for BOWP but don't have high hopes as they keep pushing the second review dates.

I will try to contact the local MP, not sure what they can or can not do when it comes to immigration.

Well...Peruse the contents of the links below and you will notice that all they are looking for is completeness of your application (I think that is what they mean by eligibility assessment in the first place... and not a "final eligibility assessment" that determines the end result of your PR application):

I know this is all very stressful for all of us, but it is important to tell yourself not to worry about something that is not in your control!.

Have a happy new year and hope it brings much luck to all of us!

Cheers

So do you really think that January 2016 is the month for July applicants ?

 

[Letswork14]

Its been more than 6 months and still stuck at July?? Expected to finish August in January!!!!! :'(

 

[anuj.stallion]

I just called call center & they said there is nothing that they can do.
16 months is just average processing time & it is taking them much longer to process applications due to high volume. So it seems July applicants will not finalized before April 2016.
