Lucky man
Mine AOR 15 may/joint application
Eligibility
● we are reviewing weather you meet eligibility requirements
Medical result
●You passed medical on 8th july/same day BIL letter
ADR (I gave everything ùpfront)
●Not required
Interview
●Not required
Biometric
●we have not received your biometric
BACKGROUND CHECK
●WE ARE PROCESSING YOUR BACKGROUND CHECK, WE WILL MESSAGE YOU
Final decision
●Application is in progress, we will send you message when final decision is made.

In my account it says eligibility under review and at the same time background check is under process. ISN'T its true that they start background check only when eligibility criteria is met ?

Is it possible that I passed eligibility just not updated on my profile?

@legalfalcon : I have requested GCMS notes under the Privacy Act, although I am a CEC inland applicant under POST GRADUATION - Open Work Permit. I don't know how can I prove to them that I am an Individual present in Canada? Is it ok if I reply to the email with Open Permit copy & Employment letter to prove that I am already inside Canada? Below is the response I got today from IRCC.

Please need your expertise, please comment on this.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I received my GCMS notes yesterday. (AOR May 4, PNP-Inland).

The Case Processing Agent requests a review from the officer for my eligibility. (A 11.2, R75, R76). Interestingly, below, there are the results of his/her evaluation, and it seems that I exceeded the threshold for both FWS and CRS. As written in this forum before, maybe the review of the PNP applications are conducted more in-depth. However, the agent calculated my work experience less than I figured, but I am still way above the threshold. The only problem was the misinterpretation of my funds, which I will clarify with additional documents that I am going to submit through the webform.

My questions to seniors:

1. Do I need to send more information regarding my points, CRS calculation, and explanation of the work history to address A11.2, R75, R76 alongside the clarification of the settlement funds?
2. How often can we raise ATIP GCMS to track the developments? (Any potential issues for that)
3.Anything else you would recommend?

To understand RR, I am re-posting my old post here:

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.

To answer your questions:

1. If the RR is for something specific as explained above, then you can send additional documents and explanation.
2. There is no limit on how often you case request GCMS notes. You can do it as often and as many time as you like. However, you should request your GCMS notes again after the previous ones have been released. If you request new ones before the previous ones have been released, then IRCC may just club both the requests and release the most recent GCMS notes.
3. There is nothing to worry. Just read the note carefully and if you see nothing significant, no need to stress.
