Dear sir,
My gcms notes arrived yesterday. It shows security screening. There is one more thing in my file which other people in SS claims they dont have. Its written that my screening information sent to cbsa on 2nd oct and then on 11th oct. What does that mean? Can u please help.

Thanks and regards,

1. All files go though security screening. There will be 4 such sub activities before you file is cleared. Just because you see the words "security screening" does not mean that your file processing will be delayed. Some application take way longer because of security screening, and if you are one of them, then that is another issue. This happens when you cross the 6 months processing time. The 6 months processing time starts from the dat you pass R10.

@legalfalcon Hi, I want to refer specifically to your statement in bold. It is a fact that some (most?) GCMS notes do not show the subactivity security screening. One example is of senior member @rajkamalmohanram who received GCMS after his PPR and he didn't have such sub-activity in admissibilities nor any security screening activity in activities section. Can you please elaborate on that? As someone who is in SS, hope is all we've got.

Dear legal falcon , I completed six months and got a mail from CPC Ottawa that my file in under review and requires further verification. BG is NA . What could be the reason for additional verifications

First of all Congratulations!!

In your PPR email, you will have the instructions on where to send the Passport. If you cannot send the passport to the designated office, you can request IRCC by raising a CSE to allow you to send the PP in the country where you are in. So it can be India for your spouse and Australia for you.

No, you do not need to inform IRCC that you have received Australian PR.

Dear Legalfalcon thank you for your advise. Like always very helpful. I will update once i hear from NDVo.

Hi @legalfalcon i have a rather peculiar problem............I have all the evidences of my employment with me, i.e , appointment letter.........complete salary history from the organization.....appraisal letters of 2 years.........but the problem is that the employer's policy doesnot allow experience/reference letters to pronounce the job duties so the reference letter has all the required information except the job duties...........and my appointment letter too doesnot state my job duties. (although my appraisal letters have my targets and performance grading which somehow suggest my job duties but not in detail, maximum a word or two , in order to grade my performance)
the job duties are mentioned on the employee management system that is on the internet.
I am thinking of getting an additional reference letter from my colleague who still works there......will it work? .... what are the requirements for such a letter? should it be on a stamped paper? and what should be mentioned in the letter?

thank you

Dear All,

I need advice for uploading documents, my questions are:
Can I take pictures of my documents from an iphone and upload them/
Can I do it for all documents? because the scanner produces bad results when I scan my police clearance certificate

Hi @legalfalcon ,

I applied on 08-OCT-2017 for LMIA-exempted WP as FSW-O from Italy (I am originally from Pakistan). my application is currently in IP2 phase. Normal Processing time of VO-Rome is 4 weeks, instead exceeded 7 weeks, I inquired embassy yesterday and they responded today as below in BLUE:

We estimate that the review of this file may exceed the average processing timeframe set out on our website. Often, delays in the processing of an application are out of our control as some processing steps require coordination with external authorities.

Delays in the processing of visa applications are always disappointing to all concerned, but rest assured that all efforts are being made to ensure efficient and expeditious processing of all visa applications.

Our office will contact you as soon as the review is completed, or as soon as more information, documents or an interview are required.

Do you think, they have initiated SS for my WP application, as normally SS is done on PR or PNP applications. I hope they not initiated SS, besides external authorities can be embassy of my home-country, not always CSIS. what you think?

Do CIC involve CSIS in all BCG phases or only when SS required? I mean is it normal that they involve external authorities in every application or just in case of SS?

Should I go for GCMS or wait a bit more?

Kindly advise. I am so much worried, as have to commence post-doc in Jan-2018, and to do pre-arrival arrangements as well.

Why not look for another scanner and do a proper scan. One of the most crucial stages is the R10- Documents Completion Check. Unclear documents can be a major cause of rejection.

 

[legalfalcon]

My bad, don't mind.

So following is my scenario:
AOR MAY 23
Med Passed: August 2nd
ADD DOC REQ: Rcmp 22 August, submitted Aug 23
Case Analyst Recommended Pass: Sept 14
But since then no update, cirminality in progress & security not started yet.
Please can you advise; what will be next steps on my file or any opinion will be appreciated.
Thanks!

After the case analyst has made a recommendation, an officer will review your file and make the final decision on eligibility. After this your eligibility will change to Passed.
The last step is then security.

 

[legalfalcon]

Thank you friend.

I have the original marriage certificate. I can scan it in color. Will this be okey? or Do I need to get a certified copy and then scan it?

The scan of original will work.

 

[legalfalcon]

I pay the minimum payment required each month. So I have an outstanding. I am paying the interest plus portion of the capital.

Do I need to show this since I am not using these banks for POF? I have credit balances in other Banks which I am going to use as POF.

As long as the accounts you are showing for PoF are unencumbered, you can show them without showing the CC debt.

Hi @legalfalcon

Just wanted to check with about EE document requirement for Current Employer reference letter. I already asked HR about it and there's no way I can get it. I only have pay slips and my H1B petition doc(on employer's letterhead) where my jobs and duties are mentioned. Can't even go to my colleagues as it will create further complication. Please suggest if IRCC would accept those petition doc.

Many thanks!

Yes, but you will have to explain this in LoE. However, if you can get a letter even on a plain paper and notarized from any colleague, that will immensely help.

Hi @legalfalcon

Thank you so much for all these reassuring information. MY AOR is April 27, 2017, and it will reach 7 month by the end of this month. I am planning to order CSIS notes to understand the situation of my SS. Is the CBSA notes the same as CSIS notes? Could you please advise? Thank you again.

CBSA and CSIS notes are different and you have to apply for each separately.

While CBSA notes are detailed, CSIS is just a one page letter providing details when it started the process and when it ended.
