Dear @legalfalcon ,

I applied and visited on TRV to Canada in May 2018 and that time I filled my designation as Software engineer (no duties or NOC there), however, I applied for a job in BC and got selected in Dec 2018 from India & the designation I mentioned was - Software & Network Administrator (duties were of noc 2281, Network administrator). I got nomination and now filing my eAPR and the designation mismatch strikes to my mind.

Please note, in ref letter the duties are of NOC 2281 (Network Administrator) that I secured from my employer.

Could you please advice, what could be the best solution here:

1. If I go ahead with this mismatch in eAPR & explain in LoE the changes; how this will impact my application?

2. Can I take another letter from my employer in back date; for e.g in June 2018 that designation has been changed from Software engineer to Network Administrator?

3. Any other best solution for this problem!

Thank you.

It is a settled principle that there cannot be any discrepancies in the information you provide in your applications, even when they may be for different visas.

IRCC is clear that when the principal Applicant does not provide complete, honest and truthful information both when she submitts her application for permanent residence and subsequently submits her application for temporary residence. If both applications are clearly contradictory; therefore, there has been a misrepresentation on the part of the principal Applicant. These misrepresentations are material and directly or indirectly induced or could have induced an error in the administration of the Act.

Under paragraph 40(1)(a) of the Act, the Applicant is inadmissible to Canada if she has misrepresented or withheld material facts on a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of the Act. Paragraph 40(1)(a) of the Act read in combination with paragraph 16(1) of the Act, imposes a general and broad duty on the Applicant to disclose all facts which may be material to her application for permanent residence. The Canadian immigration system rests on the premise that all persons applying under the Act will provide truthful and complete information on the basis of which decisions regarding their eventual admission into Canada will be made. The integrity and credibility of that system requires that this duty be taken seriously by all those concerned, including in this case the Applicant.

In your PR application make sure you mention the omission you made in your TRV, and explain why it happened. If your explanation is credible, there should be no issues.

I cannot advise you to anything illegal, including getting a back dated letter.

Hello @legalfalcon. I logged in my account today and status said: "Profile updated". The review of additional documents that previously said: "We are reviewing the additional documents you provided", now says "Not applicable". This is a good sign, right?
I was on RR for foreign experience documents and had an ADR on April 19, 2018.

Any movement in your application is a good sign.

Dear @legalfalcon ,

I have been nominated by BC and in work exp section as per the requirement I had mentioned it for the last 10 years. However, in my EE profile I had mentioned my entire work history i.e. for 16 years (no Personal history tab was there), now in my eAPR both the Work History and Personal History tabs are separate. If we consider about fetching points for work than we can get the same only for up to 6 years and also, can mention the personal history for 10 years.

So my question is, for my eAPR Work History; can I put only up to 6 years or 10 years or the entire work period of 16 years in the respective column? Since I had mentioned 16 years in EE profile now I can mention the details in LoE. Please advice the best in this scenario. Thank you!

Yes, you can only include 6 years of work history and keep the remaining in personal history, given that your points do no go down. So make sure of that.

If you provide all 16 years of work history, you will be asked to provide work reference letters for all that experience.

Good morning @legalfalcon


I am a single mum that applied with my daughter. I included the full custody paper for my daughter as well. I have ordered 2 gcms notes and my eligibility is “recommended passed” for a year now. Criminality still in progress and security not started. My file has not been touched since September 2018. My AOR is July 22nd 2018. I have been calling once a month and my MP follows up as well. I keep getting application is in process. I have not been asked to submit any additional document.

I called last week and agent said there are no concerns on my file and daughter as well.

I decided to order gcms notes for my daughter last month. I am meant to receive it on Friday and I got a letter asking for consent letter from both parents or a notarized custody agreement. I intend to submit the notarized custody agreement tomorrow. My daughter is 5 years


My questions


1. If there are concerns with the custody paper or any documents in regards to my daughter, will I see it on my gcms notes?

2. When the agent told me that she didn’t see any concerns, is an agent able to see the dependents application as well?

3. My understanding is that her application is tied to mine. If there are concerns with hers, won’t they tell me by now after a year or the MP at most?

The due date on my file is August 13th 2019 which is exactly a year my medical passed. The agent said that the VO will pick up my file on said date and hopefully there will be some movement.

Thank you for your help as always.

1. yes, the GCMS notes will provide all the details. Some information be redacted under law.

2. The agents only see a snap shot of your application. Be advised that they are call centre reps and not immigration officers. They get a few hours of training and that is it. So rely on your GCMS notes.

3. For a minor to immigrate, you need to have a complete custody of the child or the authorisation of biological parent. If you have submitted all the documents, there should be no problems.

Hi @legalfalcon
Can you please advise me on what stage my application is ?

AOR Feb 7th
Medical pass 22nd March
Biometrics completed 9th April.
Got married in April
ADR request for spouse 7th May
Documents submitted 7th June
GU 27th June
Biometrics for spouse completed on 26th July.

You cannot guess the stage by looking at the dates. Either be patient and wait for the approval, call IRCC and fine or request your GCMS notes.

Dear @legalfalcon , Thank you for being so helpful!

I have received the ITA and now filing eAPR, I have a couple of questions as given below, please advice:

1. For Education in my EE profile, I had mentioned only post secondary details (Graduation and Masters) for me and my spouse for which the WES was done and had not mentioned anything about the High school/Secondary certificates. However, now in eAPR should I stick to the above details only or can I also upload the high school and secondary certificates as well?

2. Just to double check, for eAPR we need to upload the scanned document proofs as per the received checklist and we don't need to download any any form to fill and upload, please confirm!

Thank you!

1. Only your education for which you received the ECA is required, unless you are from a country where you had to provide your high school diplomas to WES.

2. You just need to upload the documents asked.

Dear @legalfalcon,

Requesting your help here. My AOR is 31st July, 2019. Indian citizen, applied from USA (FSW-O). But I travelled to Canada on work permit a couple of days later.

1. If I update my Canada address through CSE web-form, do I need to provide an updated FBI report obtained after I left USA?

2. How would I handle my biometrics as I understand I cannot provide biometrics from inside Canada. I cannot travel to US without a new visitor visa.

Your help with these queries would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Dear @legalfalcon

Could you please look into this and help me? Really appreciate.

Hi Legalfalcon,


I have a question about reference letters. So my company has given me a reference letter but it is a soft copy and not hard copy. It is in perfect format otherwise. Would this work? Or should I ask them to print it and scan and send? Please help!


Thank you!

Dear Legal falcon,

I noted in my gcms notes at s15(1).

1. Does this mean my security is on progress in parallel with my medical review due to past TB history submitted with past clearing reports and current CT Scan

2. My eligibility passed on 31 May, still waiting for security completion. However ordered gcms+ to know bit more details on the happenings at my medical. Is this will help me to understand.

3. Also I checked with my panel physician where he too didn't get any information abt my medical for any furtherance. CIC neither requesting furtherance not passing it.. Is there any reason..
Does CIC may give surveillance while issuing PPR.

4. I was planning to take furtherance medical but it should be specific and don't want to create any confusion as CIC has not requested.

5. Usually how many weeks will take for security in general cases to issue PPR.

Kindly reply and guide me

Thank you for the reply, however, I got a new ref letter from the employer where he cleared the issues with the designations that resolve my problem I guess.

@legalfalcon ,

Could you please put a light that if the entire settlement funds be shown as a Gift Deed by father, would it be any problems. Thanks

Hey everyone..pls I need your input in this.I submitted my application yesterday and received AOR.
However,in my Education placeholder,I only uploaded my masters degree certificate evaluated by IQAS.I However didn’t upload my ECA report alongside my degree certificate.The reason being that I didn’t see anywhere it was written that I should upload ECA.
Am I safe with this,or should I raise a CSE and upload ECA report?

 

[Dr_Dentalo]

A quick question regarding CEC:
I started working on a working permit on 13th of August 2018 (1 full time equivalent) (stated in the job offer letter, however, the work permit is issued on 11th of August), and I received invitation to apply on 12th of August, 2019.
So, will this period be counted as one full year of Canadian work experience? or is it less by one day? Shall I decline the invitation to apply or proceed?
