See the last few pages and check what your eligibility says. There must be a note by an analyst or assistant.

Only after the eligibility is passed by an officer, will the security start.
Thanks for your comments legalfalcon. Please let me know if there is something I should do proactively to get my application processed. My GCMS notes says the following:

Program Assistant's notes on 31st Oct 18:
Applicant's age changed from ITA to e-APR. Documents set for review: Client Information

CPC Agent notes on 14th Nov 18:

CRS score at application (APR): 467
Total CRS points assessed: 467 (Change in Age)

Hi Legalfalcon,
I was apply Permanent residency under provincial nominee program since 2017 November 6th, moreover, I order notes and call the call center. According to they said my Eligibility was passed, medical passed, criminality passed, however, security is not started. Since today IRCC changed processing time back to 19 months. My estimated time is JUNE 6th.
Can you give me some idea regard to this kind of situation. Did I got deep investigation from CSIS? Or everybody got the same step

Read my post, share in another thread, which is copied here:

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.

In your case you will have to see your GCMS notes to know why you have RR.

Hope this helps.

Dear Sir,

As per your reply on my GCMS notes "In your case you will have to see your GCMS notes to know why you have RR".


I want to specify that i don't find any comments by the Analyst where anything, any comments has written for Review Required. I have shared all the comments written in my GCMS notes with you, did you find any specific reason in my notes.

If the security is not started, then your eligibility is not passed. The eligibility takes place in 2 stages, first an analyst or assistant will review your documents and make a recommendation, and then an officer will review the recommendation and make a final determination. Only after the officer's conclusive determination, will the security start.

I don't see any concerns. There are just two issues:

1. MI3 - Effective July 1, 2011, the third set of Ministerial Instructions (MI3) further limited the intake of new FSW applications by lowering the global cap to 10,000, with sub-caps of 500 for each of the 29 priority occupations.


2. For Company 1, your work reference letters does not have job description. The work reference letter should have job duties, and the JDs should substantially match the JDs of the NOC selected.

Just wait and there is no nothing to worry. The age change will have no impact on your CRS due to the public policy.

The security is predominantly done by CBSA / CSIS, but RCMP and the Public Safety ministry also is involved. the PS only coordinates.

So no concerns.
