I requested that 3 times, and there is nothing found as Bangalore officer had written all the comments what Etobicoke centre has asked form.
But then there is nothing from Etobicoke centre.. Even when i spoke to CIC, they mentioned the same that waiting for officer to pick up the file and they could see, no more inputs are required.
What should i do ?

Unfortunately, you will have to wait it out. In some cases requesting GCMS notes, does help move the file, you apart from that there is nothing much you can do.

Thank you!
Just one question is it ok if I carry some cash and rest I show the amount in bank statement if immigration people ask for funds.

YEs, case and your bank statement will work.

@legalfalcon Normally, what will cause a ghost update? Got a Ghost update last Friday. I was in IP2 along with MEP on July 24. Moreover, I got the reply of a CSE one day before the ghost update. Maybe it is caused by the CSE? Thanks!

The most update merely depicts some movement in file, there can be numerous reasons for that. To be sure, you need GCMS.

Yes, my CRS is 437 right now, just short of the cutoff by 4 points.
My only concern with the new company is that it doesn’t have any web presence and they operate from a residential business address.. will that be an issue? @legalfalcon

No, it will not be an issue. However, you can clarify that in your LoE.

AoR date is 4th March 2018. But wife's medicals were deferred due to pregnancy. ADR documents (new baby documents) were submitted on 17th July, and medicals passed on 19th July.

No need to worry then. If you would like to see what stage your application is at, you can consider ordering GCMS notes. Or just wait it out.

Hi all,

My AOR is Nov 2017, and my file is pending for CBSA security checks since July. Does that mean I'm under security screening? Is it the last step before PPR? And how long does CBSA checks usually take?

Thanks.

It seems like you are in security screening. There is no time frame. Security is the last stage before you receive the PPR.

If you would like to know if CBSA and CSIS have concluded their involvement, you can request CBSA and CSIS notes.

Hi All,

I will land on Ontario on 07-Sep. It will be my first landing. my POF was 20,000 CAD. I know I am allowed to take 10,000 CAD but what should I do with remaining 10,000? I am supposed to show them all the money I declared in my PR as a POF right?
My bank here in Pakistan says that they can not give BankDrafts, Traveler Check, and other options. I can only have Check of my own account.

Can I do something like 10K as cash and for remaining 10K as a check with latest Bank Statement showing 10k?

Kindly advise any senior and experienced, @legalfalcon please advise.

Thanks

As long as you can show the source of funds, you are good. However, if you declare over 10K, you will be questioned, and CBSA may confiscate your funds until they verify.

The best would be to show 10K cash and 10K in monetary instruments.

Thanks for the reply!

The CBSA and CSIS request, unlike the GCMS have to be well drafted. I am nots sure what you requested. When placing a request with CBSA, the information sought has to be very specific and precise.

Dear Legalfalcon,

So, what exact information has to be requested in the CBSA and CSIS requests?

Thanks @legalfalcon I will keep 10k as cash and for rest of the money I will have the latest statement and additionally my cheque book and ATM for transfer as soon as I have a bank account in Canada. Will it work?

Thanks

Hello legalfalcon

I would really appreciate if you can please help me with this. I received ITA on Aug 8th and since then I am not able to proceed with my application as it is showing me systems are down and giving a Technical error. Can I go ahead and create another profile with a different username and still keep the profile in which I received ITA?

My CRS is 441 and I am not sure if I will get ITA in tomorrow's draw by creating a second express entry profile with a different username.. so I just want to be on the safe side by not declining the ITA which I received on Aug 8th.

Are you sure that the profile is the issue and not your computer or another technical issue. Even if you create a new profile, you can ask the tech support to transfer your ITA to the new profile.

You can try it, but before you do rule out other issues.

Thanks

YEs, but for the transfer, not sure if banks will accept checks issued by you. So call the banks and ask.

@legalfalcon

I received a letter in my mailbox from CSIS which states the below...

Based on information contained in your requested, please be advised that the personal information bank listed below was searched on your behalf with the following results:

CSIS PPU 005 Security Assessments/Advice - Your Security Screening case is still in progress. The information has been exempted from disclosure by virtue of one or more of sections 21 (as it relates to the efforts of Canada toward detecting, preventing or suppressing subversive or hostile activities), 22(1)(a) and 22(1)(b) of the Act until your case is completed.

One thing is clear that I am in the Security Screening, but I would like to know what does CSIS PPU 005 mean ?

@legalfalcon can you review this post as well ?
