Noted. Thanks.
You alluded to R10, Eligibility and 11.2. I'd like to get more information on these different stages. I just want to understand for example, what happens in the R10 or 11.2 stage?
The reason why I'm asking is that I'm pretty sure I'll get rejected at some point. I just don't know when. Even though my medicals got passed, from what I understand, the eligibility review has still not begun and that's probably the stage during which I will get rejected. Rejoice!!
Once you submit your e-APR (R12) you will receive first AOR and the officer will review your submission. This is called the R10 Completeness Test and only verify that all documents are included (They don't verify or check documents at this stage, so Documents can be rejected or even additional documents can be requested at later stages). If your R10 is passed then you will receive second AOR that states your application is now with us and we will review it or something like this.
There are three review that are carried out; A11 (Eligibility), A40 (Misrepresentation and Frauds), and A16 Admissibility Test. All are initiated almost at a same time.
A11 and A40 verifies each component of the Minimum Eligibility Requirement (R75) that includes the following
1) R78 Education
2) R79 Language
3) R80 Work Experience
4) R81 Age
5) R82 Arranged Enployment (if applicable)
6) R83 Adaptability Test (each applicable criteria)
As a part of A11 and A40 they also verify R76 Settlement Funds required.
A16 on the other hand carries out Medical and Background Checks
Medical on average is completed in 1 or 2 months while Background Checks on average take 4-5 months to complete. Background check is the most lengthiest part as it involves data verification from Federal and International Agencies including Interpol.
There is no standard process that CIC follows. Maybe in some cases A16 is passed even before A11 and A40. However, PPR is only issued once all of these stages are cleared.
I hope this will help.
