That is what is called ghost update. Could be PPR around the corner.
I've ordered notes on Nov. 29, hope I can get the notes on time...
Thank you! Hopefully, I will see the email in my account in a matter of few days/weeks.
It takes them longer than usual to process Note request. I ordered my on August 26th, and got it this week.... It took them almost 100 days for them to process.
Hello Folks,
So I received a “Procedural Fairness Letter” yesterday which was expected.
Basically, I gave an interview at Vancouver office to change my closed permit to Vulnerable Urgent Open Work Permit where I was given a paper to write the duties my manager made me do to which I understood I just have to write theadditional/exploitation duties I did which wasnt as per NOC coz I thought interview was about vulnerability.
So the officer has the concern that I have declared the duties at the time of the interview on an affidavit which are not as per the duties I have claimed the points for and has given me 7 days to support any document which can address to that concern.
Now when I applied for PR, I didnt had reference letter ofcourse as my manager was exploiting me so was delaying the same. However in May, 2019 I did get the reference letter confirming the duties I did signed my employer which I submitted via web form without any letter of explanation however GCMS notes doesn’t acknowledge that they have received it.
I have hired a profession lawyer to respond to the PFL & thinking to take below steps to get the decision in my favor :
1. Attaching the appointment letter which has all the duties
2. Reference letter which confirms that I performed all the duties for more than 1 year
3. Letter of explanation to the officer that I misinterpreted at the open work permit visa interview thinking officer is just asking to mention additional duties/exploitation as thought interview was about vulnerability.
I have been given time till next Thursday that is 19th December, 2019 to allay his concerns.
Also once I respond them in how many days they take the decision!
The reason to put my private matter here is coz this forum has been super helpful so far and I just want to take the experts opinions in regards to the letter of explanation as its a make or a break. Anyone whom I have not tagged, please chip in with your thoughts as your suggestion can help me secure my PR.

This line is problematic for me. This somehow tells me you knew you were providing inadequate information somehow.
Sadly that was a mistake.
Good decision
In normal circumstances 1 and 2 are sufficient. So no problem with those documents. The # 3 is bit of concern and I would suggest to follow whatever the attorney recommends. I have no knowledge on the vulnerability work permit process but just as an outside observer it makes sense that an officer looking at that application would want to validate your duties against what you claimed in the PR application.
Now, the whole case rests on how convincing the argument is for the officer that you misunderstood the purpose of asking the duties in work permit interview. This is where I think an experienced attorney can help. I think they should be able to make a case easily.
I think the concern from IRCC point of view is whether a candidate trying to misrepresent any of the facts and I think in your case it is easy to prove that you didn't intend to misrepresent anything.
As with IRCC there is no fixed timeline but I have seen cases on this forum where decision has been quite quick post PFL response. So it could be
within a week from when they receive your letter.
All the best!
Thanks dear for such a detailed reply.
I really appreciate your time!
I will respond CIC on Monday or latest by Tuesday.
Once I get the draft from the lawyer, I will share it here just to take your feedback on it.
Please pray.
Thanks!
Sure thing. My best wish and prayers are with you and with everyone waiting eagerly for their PR. I have been in that situation and know how nerve wrecking is that period of wait.
This thread has been pretty silent the last few days. Seems like Montreal VO employees decided that it was enough work for this year. They are probably on vacation in the Bahamas while we wait for updates.
I am March 20 AOR - Outland. Application still in progress. Montreal office.
Eligibility - Review Required. Medicals and Criminality - Passed. Security - Not yet started.
No communication from IRCC about any documents etc.
Ordered GCMS notes on Oct 27. Not yet received.
Montreal is pretty much dead in last few weeks of December. Last year we did see a few PPRs in last week of December though but in reality most work will kind of restart from second week of Jan.
