Reasons for Rejection

We can only know if criminality is passed through the gcms note right? and is IRCC call center that helpful, I doubt that they will answer anything to my case, as it's under one month, but do worth a try though.

I think I will also go ahead and order the gcms note next week since it's free.

Yes, GCMS notes are the only definitive answer. You can try your luck with the call center. Try several times until you find a helpful agent. Applicants have reported getting very useful information from some agents like information about background checks [and/or their completion] and file being ready for final review etc.

You can definitely request GCMS notes as your background check status has turned to IP.
Good luck!

I never got GCMS notes but I've read a few times that criminality check starts after eligibility has been assessed.

Maybe this can help a bit:

Hi everyone,

Please we just got an ITA some days ago and i need clarification on the below.

My wife is the principal applicant and her passport expires in JULY, we haven't logged our application though.

Her passport is in her maiden name and we were thinking if the officer that will be assigned to us ask, she will go and obtain a new passport in my married name.

we have all document to show shes married.

do we wait till they asked or we should go ahead to obtain the
new passport in her married name.

thank you

Yes, it's normally the case. Processing can be simplified in following steps:

1. Completeness review [all required forms, information and documents are present].
2. Eligibility review [application meets the requirements of the program against which it was filed/submitted].
3. Admissibility review [whether or not an applicant can be allowed to enter Canada (includes medical, criminality and security - background checks)].

PCCs are required at completeness check and for passing the criminality stage. For some countries, PCC are needed to be submitted at a later stage [after eAPR submission], so completeness checks can accommodate those circumstances. While other checks like medicals and eligibility review can go on and once the PCC is received, the criminality decision is also made.

Hello experts. Please help me on clearing my confusion over declining Provincial Nominee nomination.

I received ITA in 52nd Federal Express entry draw under Canadian Experience class(465 points). I also received 'nomination' from NBPNP.

I want to decline the PNP nomination as I already received ITA. Please advise.

My initial Work Permit was approved based on LMO application for NOC code 2171, then the subsequent extension was approved through ICT (current WP) for NOC code 2173.

Dec, 2010 to Jul, 2012 - LMO based WP, NOC code 2171
Aug, 2012 to till date - ICT WP, NOC code 2173

I already have an invitation to apply for Permanent Residency. Will it be a problem if all my prior work experience both inside and out of Canada falls under 2173 in my EE profile? Or Can I change the NOC code to 2171 for the validity period (Dec, 2010 to Jul, 2012) of my LMO based work permit and attach LOE?

Hi,

I recently got my Canada Work Permit extension approved and I just realized that I didn't mention one of my brothers' names in the family information sheet (IMM5645E).

Will it be a problem if I include my missing brother details in the Family form for Express Entry profile now?

Thanks in advance.

There was a rejection for even earlier 2 months not included in the PCC:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t306713.0.html;msg4944099#msg4944099

In this case there was starting period mentioned in that PCC that was later than his first arrival to the country. Would he have submitted one without starting date or with earlier it would have been accepted.

And one here for not submitting the updated PCC [applicant thought he needed PCC only for previous stays of less than 6 months]:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/reasons-for-rejection-t306713.0.html;msg5023367#msg5023367

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/reasons-for-rejection-t306713.0.html;msg5023836#msg5023836

In these 2 the applicant understood that he shall only cover his 6 months or longer period of stay. However there is nowhere stated that his PCC was a resend one (less than 6 month old at the day he had submitted his application).

You can search for more cases.

I have a question - CIC is only asking for current passport & stamps on it. What if the last 10 years history is not on there. In that case they can't verify my PCC dates. My passport is around a year old with only 2 stamps in current passport. What should be done in such situation ?

Other than the country of current residence, for every country where an applicant has lived in the past for a total cumulative period of at least 6 months, the PCC should be issued after the last time applicant lived [visited, traveled or left] that country. The PCC should have an issue date after the last exit stamp [date] on applicant's passport from that country. This is my understanding from what IRCC has posted on its website. And I guess officers check entry exit records [or stamps on the passports] to find out these things and check with PCC issue dates accordingly.

I think there was a rejection back in 2015 or early 2016 [somewhere in this thread/forum], where someone visited a country after getting their PCC [and before submitting eAPR], hence rendering that PCC invalid and their application was rejected.

I would appreciate an expert opinion. My Degree (PhD) conferment date is Sept 2013 however since thesis submission and defense was done a few months before, I actually started working in June 2013, do you think the Immigration guys would see this as a conflict or should I upload a LOE explaining? In addition say I left a country on the 31st July but got the PCC 2 weeks before I left, is it valid or should I get a new one?

They do their own background checks and they will have a list of the countries you have been to. Per the instructions in the e-APR, you are required to submit only pages with a marking/stamp/visa + bio pages of the CURRENT valid passport. So, I would suggest that you follow those instructions.

Express Entry application rejected.
Reason:
Police Certificate:
o The Police certificate from India that you provided with your application for your spouse is not acceptable as it only covers the period of time spent in the district of xxxxx in India. You have indicated in her address/personal history that she resided in multiple districts in India from July 2007 to October 2016.

I also have her PCC issued by Consulate General in Toronto, can i re-submit new application using the PCC issued by consulate general?

yes

 

[pankaj281]

yes

So are you suggesting that while keeping the address history for my wife same in the new profile, if i submit PCC for her issued by Consolate General, it won't be a problem any more?
