Please advise @legalfalcon
I am FSW-Inland applicant residing in Toronto. I lost my job and would like to know how it might impact my application. I came to Canada in Feb 2020 with a company sponsored closed work permit. [expires Feb 2022]

Category: FSW Inland
AOR : November 4th 2020
Medical : Passed - December 18th 2020
Visa Office: Montreal

Bio-metrics updated from my Work Permit record. And nothing more.

The only other information I got was:
Criminality: started
Eligibility: started
Security: not started

When I last spoke to IRCC agent in the first week of May they told me there has been no update in the file since January and told me to wait till end of June, 2021.

Also, as I am looking for a new job at the moment - Is it advised to look inside Ontario or I could consider other opportunities [in Montreal, Vancouver] which might expect me to relocate once the pandemic eases.

FYI - I have applied for the GCMS notes and expecting it by end of this month

Thanks in advance

someone correct me if I'm wrong but you can look for everything except Quebec.. they have their own program..

Did you claim points for arranged employment?

If you did not, it will not matter at all as the application is locked on the day it is submitted. Any changes post submission do not matter.

IF you applied as a CEC or FSW, you can find a job anywhere in Canada, except Quebec. See https://bit.ly/3fkn8pP

Hi all,

FSW-Inland applicant AOR Nov 26, 2020 - on the portal there's only medicals and biometrics info as passed.
Just talked to an IRCC agent on the phone about my application:
They said my application is currently open (I guess it means someone is working on it?). My eligibility is passed. Security background is being processed. I didn't ask for my VO info.
I also asked if I needed to update my application because I have recently extended my PGWP and they said it is not necessary, just in case anyone else is wondering that.
I know it might take a while to get my COPR, but at least now I know they have worked on my application.

When did you apply for notes? From IRCC or CBSA?

Did you claim points for arranged employment?

@legalfalcon - My bad luck, I did claim 50 points for arranged employment. Does IRCC render my profile as ineligible now ? If I get a job in the same NOC within a couple of weeks : does that still count ?

Thanks for providing clarity about the job related question.

Its not about it will be ineligible. The issue you will run into is that when you claim points for arranged employment, one of the conditions was that the offer would be "for at least one year after [IRCC] issue(s) your permanent resident visa." If you leave your job, then the "year after clause will also go away" as the employer who gave you that undertaking will withdraw the offer, and thus you will lose the points.

So far IRCC has not issued any circulars or policy in this regard. As soon as your change your job, and if your application is still in progress, you have to inform IRCC, and your offer of arranged employment will be subject to verification, even if your eligibility is passed.

For now, just find another job as soon as possible, and then inform IRCC.

Hi @legalfalcon, I'm an FSW-O applicant with AOR - Nov 14, 2020. Before I could order GCMS notes, I thought of getting your suggestion on this.

I received my last GCMS notes on April 11, 2021. The status is as follows:
Eligibility: Not Started
Security: Not Started
Criminality: Passed
Info Sharing: Complete

My application is process in NDVO. The last three months has been very hectic in India considering the rise in COVID cases. I have the following questions:

• Considering this scenario, do you think NDVO would have stopped processing?
• Do you think ordering the GCMS notes now will again get me the same status?

It would be great if you could reply. Thanks

The processing usually continues as all lines of business at IRCC are working remotely.

Before you request GCMS, send a webform and see what the response is. Only if your eligibility has started, then the GCMS notes will be of any use.

You are FSW-O, yes, you will get same status. I just received my notes from 28 April -
no changes since January. I received notes every month.
