Does this mean that those who are without jobs should immediately try to find any kind of jobs to be on the safe side?

 

[Blobber]

the officer said he was not allowed to disclose the purpose of the call except for the fact they were following up as a request from the federal government. I already guessed that considering that they emailed and then called me on the 6th which is my due date.

 

[traxton]

This happened to many people who applied through ON-PNP and the passport was returned without stamping. Go to the first page of this forum to see the email that applicants received that will give you better understanding of the picture.

Have you applied for GCMS notes? Perhaps it might shed some light as to what stage your application is at.

 

[max_ka]

Has any one who applied before Jan 2014 got a call from PNP or CIC for verification of their current address and job status?

 

[jasonz111]

What if I still haven't found a job? Should I be worried about it?

 

[shadash]

Are you an inland applicant? Did you inquire what is the issue ?

yes i am, I have sent several emails ... no answer I am going to apply for the GSMC note, to figure out why it has taken this long.... I applied with bunch of friends all of them got theirs more than 6 month ago

 

[Blobber]

you should not because you applied under a stream where no job offer is required. that is why I am very perplexed with the conduct of the Governments.

Evidently the Federal does not like this program, and yet they approved it and gave the Province the power to run it. The Province should step in and demand that their PNP Nominees be treated the same as the ones from other Provinces. However, to this day, (I may be wrong but) I have not found a piece of information showing the Province is taking action.

Did you get your ON PNP via no-job-offer stream? What about your friends? When were all of your application received by CIC dates?

I agree, even if no-job-offer stream is such a concern, CIC should follow-up on the promise and process all existing PNP PR applications they have in their backlog now, then have ON-PNP stop giving out certificates on this stream from next year onwards. That is the fair route they should take. Also, we are not the only province to offer no-job-offer PNP cert, BC does it too. Why ain't these BC PNP applicants going through a similar QA process???

Since we belong to economic class, CIC expected that we should contribute to the economic by having a job. Hence, even though we applied under no job offer stream, we should actively look for job. The fund that you submitted to ON PNP was only for one year. They reasonably expected that you should find a job after a year, from the time you submitted your application for nomination. Otherwise, this is questionable about your ability to settle down in Canada. I know it's hard to find a job but that what they expected us to do.

I may be wrong. But if you can, find any jobs so that you will be on the safe side.

I actually think it is a positive sign that they started calling people. At least it's some progress, as opposed to have no changes for months.

I don't think that CIC does not like PNP. Few years ago there was a QA exercise for TRVs (visitor visa) - it is just something that CIC does internally to check if all procedures are properly followed etc. The only way this will be negative for PNP is if CIC finds a lot of people nominated by Ontario PNP who cheated or lied on their applications or who did not intend to live in Ontario.

As to us, the unlucky ones who applied right before the QA, I hope that the calls mean that QA will finish soon and we will be back to normal processing.

I was very confused as to why the Ontario government is doing this QA seing as the processes for applying to PR are different (Prov vs Fed) but I do think that it is encouraging to know that this is mandated by the federal government. We might not see any progress on ecas but there is progress seeing that the feds have sort of sub-contracted the provincial government to do some checks.
To those without a job, I would say do not worry about the calls specifically. The government expects you to contribute but the PNP makes concession in realizing that it might take some time for you to gain employment. The point is to crack down on cases of misrepresentation so I genuinely believe that those who have done everything the right and proper way should not be worried about the calls per se...we should definitely arm ourselves with lots of patience though.

One of my friends got the call, and they said we would see some update next month, the qa is almost done. Hope so!

So here's some wishful thinking: Our Ecas will jump to DM next month and PPR the same day. BAM!
