parents received the passport with visa stamped and valid till june 2014

I recieved my last GCMS notes which shows file completion. They searched my ( sponsor ) FOSS record even on the last day, to determine of anything wrong with my situation such as criminal etc

I googled FOSS and found this

IMDB is a database that is managed by Statistics Canada on behalf of a federal-provincial consortium led by CIC. This database links records from FOSS to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) tax files (mainly T1 data). It is a tax filer database that contains information on all landed immigrants in Canada since 1980 who have filed at least one tax return

So I assume thats how they know if sponsor falls under the LICO at a given point

This is our timeline

Application submitted mississauga 2007
Application was refused because of Lico
File was still transferred to Vienna May 2012
Vienna just refused it again for LiCo!

I'm so frustrated because it took so long for them
To Deny it.

How does the appeal work? And what do they request?

If you didn't meet LICO ( unless close ) you can pretty much forget about it. Appeal will take a long time and you can only convince them from humanitarian perspective as they didn't make a mistake in calculation. Contact a good lawyer who will take the case anyway for a hefty fee but I am afraid this is a tough one to beat

Are FOSS and GCMS not the same? I googled it, it is being superseded by GCMS.

Thanks Sidhu
Thanks Suin

Today the status in ECAS changed to Decision made. It is showing four lines now.

Those who are waiting, I would suggest send an email enquiry to them. I did that in the past and when you send it, they somehow get back to your file and the next step starts. Touch wood!

Will be going to India in May to get my loving mom here. Very long wait but now it doesn't matter. I hope everyone feels this joy soon

FOSS = field operations support system, it is used by CIC/CBSA in-Canada. at POE and in-Canada offices.

GCMS is for cases that are filed and/or in various stages of processing, includes both PR and citizenship, etc.

Hello Everybody,

Need some suggestion/guidance with this situation.

I have applied for my parents PR in July 2009 with two dependents, file is currently in LVO (ISB) and last update was that of medical received (medicals were completed at end of March 2013) so it will be expiring in this March.

One of the dependent (my brother) is currently pursuing M.Phil (business/finance/human resources) which is ending in Feb. My understanding is, in order to be eligible for PR dependent needs to be full time student. When i talked to my brother he told me that he have inquired about PHD as possible next step but have problems as follows:

1. Most of the universities offering PHD requires thesis completed at M.Phil but my brother didn't had that.
2. Even if he is able to get into PHD somehow that is offered over the weekend or limited classes (as is the case with probably with any PHD). Does this qualify for being full time studies.

Can somebody advise what are the possible options for him to be eligible for PR? My brother was little less than 21 years at time of original application.

Much appreciated.

And what if there's a co-signer on the application and s/he is Canadian born citizen? Do they contact the CRA directly?

Then they should meet the LICO with the co-signer, I don't think being a citizen is of any relevance. Only an insider could tell how they contact CRA or FOSS tells them but we've seen them asking sponsors for financial info after approval stage ( coincidentally from those who went short or had some change in their financials ) but in Liz's case, she chose to let CIC-M send it to Vienna ( if not approved ) and they simply sought the same answer
IMO, she should have set cancel sponsorship if she knew that CIC-M would refuse it for not meeting LICO and tried again

If he was less than 21, should be Ok
