total of four SS activity has been provided , however for one of them highlighted is Not started , rest all have been retracted. Please provide your guidance and help us if there is anything to worry. Iam wondering why Iam put in SS , as I have very less travel history (only thing I traveled thrice to Afghanistan, Kabul under business visa for IT consulting.

You file will have 4 SS activities, out of which you already have 2 done. So you are pretty close. The retracted info will have s15/16 or s21/22 on the top right corner of the page. To read what it is see https://www.getgcms.com/blog/s15-s16-top-right-gcms-denote/

When did you pass R10?
 
Hello legalfalcon
Let me ask you in short about my brothers situation :
“After the passport request email” is that ok to “quit employmnt” and search for a better ones or choose some course to improve knowledge..? Provided

Landing (validation of pr) has not completed yet....application approved online but post has not been returned yet...

Does this have any impact on landing like questions being asked about current status or does this impact future citizenship application??? Is this something to be informed when passport is being sent ?
 
My timeline
AOR - 16th July
MEP - 18th Aug
BG went to NA on next day 19th Aug
Enquired about VO which is Ottawa and the message was your case is under process, we can't tell when it would be finalised (the standard message I guess)
Ordered GCMS notes - 11th Dec.
RPRF - not paid upfront. No request received yet for payment

Just now saw an update in my application - 'We do not need additional documents'

@legalfalcon Can you throw light on what exactly the status of my application might be?
 
Hello @legalfalcon,

I would be landing soon and hence needed some help on the same. Apart from my Passport and COPR, is there anything else I would need to carry along with me?? I would be bringing in my Bank Account Statement for POF verification. Please let me know what else I would need to bring along.

I do not have any things to follow (as in cargo) post my landing. Whatever I bring along with me would be my final stuff.

For the SIN, creating a Bank Account and etc., is Passport Photos required or do they take the photos on the spot?? Please let me know if I need to carry additional Passport Sized Photos with me or COPR Sized Photos with me. Thank you all in advance.

Thank you so much for your kind reply. the information which was retracted under S.15 and R10 was cleared on 8th Sep 17. Just to also let you know Iam the dependent. My spouse who is primary applicant has no SS in GCMS.

Then one the same day I got schedule A request. later on Oct 4th My file moved to IP2. and I could see another note which was also retracted.
 
If there is a new note for the medicals, then your file was picked by someone. Did you receive a request for new medicals?

I have not received a medical request so far.

Do you mean to say that I should expect a medical request soon and then PPR?
 
Dear Legalfalcon,
Really need your help !!!!
Today i got message in my cic after 315 days. They are asking me to provide the additional information. but they did not mention what kind of additional information they need. But when i clicked on "View my Submitted documents" link, I saw they are asking me to provide the "Proof Of Income" and "Proof of fund". They enable the link to upload this documents. They also enable the link to provide the "Letter Of Explanation".

Now, (1) When I submitted my profile in Feb 2017, I have uploaded the T4s and Notice Of Assessment. According to you what other documents should I submit ???

(2) I have also submitted the "Proof Of Fund" which TD bank gave me when I left the Canada. But I have one concern which is, I have added my brother to my account who is living in Canada when left Canada just for maintenance purpose . That is why the proof of fund statement shows "Joint" on it. when I was getting salary to my account my brother was not added to my account. According to you what steps should i take ???

Your answer would be really appreciated !!!!!

Thanks in advance.

An applicant can leave his employment at anytime. As soon as the application is filed, it is locked. However, if the application is still in process, if an applicant leaves the current employment then they should inform IRCC so that IRCC is aware that the applicant no longer works at the declared employment just in case they would like to confirm employment by calling.

Leaving employment and taking new one is entirely your choice and it has no impact on your landing. After the application is approved, an applicant lands as a PR and will not be asked any questions.

Thank you for your email.

Please note your file is awaiting review by a visa officer. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to advise when this review will take place, however, please rest assured that we will contact you as soon as the application has been reviewed or further documents are required.

We appreciate your patience during this process.

Just based on your MyCIC status messages, it is very difficult to predict what stage your application is at. All EE application go through the following stages:

R10
Criminality
Medicals
Eligibility
Security.

To read more on each stage see -
https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

Usually the request for RPRF is sent when the processing is close to eligibility or when eligibility is cleared.
