Hi @legalfalcon - I have received PPR and sent my passport from USA to CPC Ottawa for visa stamping. However, I have included incorrect return shipment label (given both TO and FROM self USA mailing address) along with passport. Can you please let me know how should I send corrected return label to CPC Ottawa? Should I wait for their response asking for correct return label. Your response will be much appreciated. Thanks

 

[Trick_Region]

You can inform them, but getting a response from IRCC is no easy ask. IF IRCC issues you a e-COPR, then your existing visas will be cancelled and the only way for you to return would be to get a PRTD or have your PR card shipped to you.

So keep these things in mind.

Thank you. I will inform IRCC through a web form.

If you have the shipping label as an electronic copy, you can send it by web form.

There is no specific time frame available as to how much time each agency will take, but on average as per the security screening manual, it takes 110 days. In some cases, it can take much longer if your application is under a comprehensive security screening.

What matters is the COPR. If you have one, you can travel, your gckey does not matter.

Thank you for the help @legalfalcon .
I have one more question. In my vaccine certificate first and second dose dates are wrong. I am updating my arrive can app now. Does it creates any issue?

Understanding “Review Required”

A lot of applicants see “review required” in their GCMS notes for eligibility. There are many theories floating around with regard to what “review required” means and if it is alarming.

Before I venture into explaining the significance, it is important to understand that each application goes through the following stages as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations (Canadian Immigration Law):

R10 – Completeness Check
Criminality
Medicals
A11.2 – eligibility
Security

Out of the above, the most important stage is eligibility. This is also the most time-consuming stage because your documents have to be verified, evaluated and assessed to ascertain that you meet the eligibility criteria for the program you have applied (FSW / CEC / FTW). To stream line this process and make it easier for an immigration officer (decision making authority), all applications are first evaluated by case analysts or program assistants. They review the documents and summarize it in the GCMS. If they have any concerns with any document or want the immigration officer to carefully look into a specific document, they will flag it as “review required.” It is the content of the note that is important here. If the review required is for a specific document, while the summary of the note says that an applicant has met the eligibility, or “ready to finalize” it simply means that while the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, but the specific document needs a careful examination form the officer before promoting (eligibility pass) by the officer.

However, if there are concerns, there will be a review required for the eligibility, and there will be no text to the effect “ready to finalize” or pass. The note will specifically state job duties do not match, or the employment cannot be verified, or the number of years of work experience claimed cannot be verified. This is where an application can land in muddy waters. But the final decision rests on the immigration officer. He may override the decision of the analyst / assistant or go with the analysis of the analyst / assistant.

Even in cases where the analyst / assistant is of the opinion that the applicant has met the eligibility, and there is no “review required,” the officer can replace it with his own opinion. Though rare, but it does happen. This is why the eligibility is only passed when an officer conclusively marks the eligibility as passed.

Finally, there is “review required” for PoF. This is the most common in many applications. This is because, the financial and banking practices of each country are different. Eg. Fixed deposits are know as Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the US. Similarly, treasury bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and many other investment vehicles are there. If your PoF anything other than a bank deposit, it is more likely that it will be marked as “review required.” Also, IRCC does not go by day to day fluctuations in FOREX. Instead, the Canadian federal government issued a quarterly conversion rate for all FOREX vis-a-via CAD. If your PoF is in a foreign currency, then you may have “review required” for the officer to make a determination.

Just because you have “review required” does not mean that you hit the panic mode. Instead, read the context in which it is there. If there is a concern regarding a document, you can send a replacement document via CSE. The most common reasons for RR are:

1. Work reference letter without job duties
2. Work reference letters missing all the details requested by IRCC
3. If you submitted a letter from a colleague because you were unable to get one from your employer, but did not have a LoE on file, this too will lead to RR.
4. Not sufficient work experience in the primary NOC.
5. Inability to verify your employment as your employer details are missing.

There are just some of the scenarios.

That will depend on the border security officer who verifies your details. If it is an error by a few days, not an issue. Your certificate is your proof of vaccination and should be accurate. If it is not, you should get it corrected.

@legalfalcon ...Last week, I have got my eCopr. I had raised the request for my WP extension with my company as well while my PR application was in progress. After I got my eCopr, I have asked my company's visa team to cancel my WP extension request, but it hasn't been cancelled yet by my company. The reason being the visa team of my company is really slow at work, and even though I have dropped them a couple of mails, no action has been taken so far. I am not sure if company has already filed for the WP extension application or not. In case the company has filed for WP extension before/after I got my eCopr, will it have any negative impact on my PR status?
