Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

Given your situation, the inactivity of your employer’s business name registration could potentially raise concerns during the processing of your Permanent Residence (PR) application, as your PR application relies on the same employer. While your Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) nomination was granted despite the company’s inactive registration, it is crucial to mitigate any doubts the federal immigration officers might have. Since the reactivation process is delayed until June next year due to a required court order, here’s the way forward:

1. Provide Clear Documentation: Ensure that you have detailed evidence of your employer’s active operations despite the inactive registration. This includes the tax certificates, business contracts, payroll records, and photos of the business premises that you had already submitted for your PNP application. These documents should be ready to present to IRCC if requested.
2. Employer’s Letter of Explanation: Your employer should draft a detailed letter explaining the circumstances of the business name registration’s inactivity, the efforts taken to resolve the issue, and the steps toward reactivation. They should also include proof of payments made and correspondence with the registry and courts. This letter should emphasize the business’s ongoing operations and its financial and contractual commitments.
3. Submit a Webform Update to IRCC: Use IRCC’s webform to proactively update your application with all relevant information and supporting documents. Mention the PNP’s previous awareness of the issue and how the nomination was issued based on the evidence provided. Be transparent about the court hearing timeline and the employer’s efforts to comply with legal requirements.

4. Maintain Communication with the PNP Office: Since the nomination was issued despite this challenge, consider informing your PNP office about the ongoing reactivation process. Their support or clarification, if needed, could strengthen your case during IRCC’s review.

5. Alternative Job Offer Contingency (if possible): While this is not an immediate step, it’s prudent to have a contingency plan. If the inactivity of the employer’s registration poses a risk to your PR application, having a backup job offer in your field could help safeguard your application.
By addressing the issue transparently and demonstrating the employer’s active operations and good faith efforts, you can reduce the likelihood of adverse impacts on your PR application.

Thanks for your detailed explanation. Should I wait until IRCC review and ask for employment clarification through ADR or I should just go ahead and update them about the the ongoing effort to reactivate the business name and court hearing?

Secondly I also have another job offer has back-up, but don't really know if its an escape route for me, more also if i inform the PNP abput change of job if its not going to affect my nomination having known that my previous employer name is inactive. please What do you suggest or advise?

In GCMS notes, you can see whether you are in comprehensive security screening or not? What does your GCMS note say?

I understand your frustration. Very strange indeed. Didn't have any refusals or military record, still under comprehensive screening.

Hope so. Some people are saying I am under comprehensive security screening when you get that update on the tracker.

No, the status “Background verification changed to ‘In Progress’” in the PR tracker does not necessarily mean you are under comprehensive security screening. Here’s what it could indicate:

1. Normal Background Checks: In most cases, this status change simply means that Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has started the background verification process, which includes criminality, security, and other checks. This is a standard step in PR processing.
2. Comprehensive Security Screening: If your file is already under security screening (as you mentioned earlier), this tracker update may simply be reflecting the ongoing status of that process. Security screening is a detailed review conducted by partner agencies like CSIS and CBSA and can take longer than regular checks.

Applicants are usually placed into comprehensive security screening during the background verification stage of their PR application. This can happen under specific circumstances, such as:

1. Flags from Eligibility or Criminality Checks:
• If something in your application (e.g., travel history, previous employment, or study history) triggers a review, IRCC may escalate your file for detailed checks.
2. Involvement with Sensitive Countries or Organizations:
• If you’ve traveled, worked, or studied in regions or institutions flagged by Canadian security agencies, this can lead to a deeper review.
3. Random or Routine Audit

• Sometimes, cases are chosen for additional scrutiny as part of routine quality assurance.
4. External Agency Referrals:
• Security partners like the CBSA or CSIS may request additional time to investigate certain aspects of your background.

Once flagged, your file moves to security screening, which involves a thorough investigation of your activities, affiliations, and potential risks by partner agencies. These checks are detailed and can take several months to complete.

Signs You Are Under Comprehensive Screening:
• No movement in the “Background Verification” section for an extended period.

• GCMS notes explicitly stating phrases like “Comprehensive Security Screening” or “File referred to CBSA/CSIS.

• Long delays even after clearing eligibility, medical, and criminality checks.
