Yes I do understand I have to inform IRCC about any pending charges but in my case, apparently I was charged with a crime but wasn't notified about it. No arrests and even a summons letter from RCMP. That's why I was denied PR landing by CBSA. Luckily they gave me a chance to get my charges dropped and come back to do landing again.

Do you think I should inform IRCC about my charges? As of now, only the CBSA officers know about it.

Its not about CBSA knowing it, it is in the system. So find out what the charge was, what happened to it, and get it fixed.
 
Thanks. I will do that.

Appreciate your help.

Hi legalfalcon,

Wait for your GCMS, they will give the best picture.
Hi @legalfalcon ,

Thanks, I will wait for GCMS notes. But I would appreciate if you could interpret the stage of my file by looking at the following response I received for my email.

I hope you are well.

I have a question.

How do we know we are under security screening. My latest GCMS notes have 2 blank pages under info sharing with s13(1)(a) written on them. You have already told me last time they redacted info because of section 13. That information actually was not removed in my previous GCMS notes. The info sharing section mentioned someone with the same name as me and an almost similar birth date was deported from the USA. (I have never travelled to the USA or applied any visa for visit.)

I also have some entries under organisation and entities.

Am I under security screening.

Thank You!
 
Hi @legalfalcon,

In our country the PCC is issued upto a certain date. Lets say if we apply for it on 20.06.2018, the date mentioned in the PCC is up to 20.06.2018. So taking the PCC before ITA is okey? Would it be a problem if I get ITA on 27.06.2018 and the PCC states the records up to 20.06.18?
 
You should upload the entire passport and explain that this is a replacement document, as in the last scan you missed our one stamped page.

what type of application/inquiry I should chose: Permanent residence (online) or "Replacement, Amendment documents"??

I received a letter after previous submission (I was submitting work permit through CSE) and none of the options seems appropriate to me

thank you!

Replacement of Document

If your enquiry is regarding replacing a valid temporary resident document (i.e.: Visitor Record, Study Permit, Work Permit, and/or Temporary Resident Permit), a Confirmation of Permanent Residence, or a Record of Landing, please visit the IRCC Website for the concerned form to complete. All instructions can easily be found within the kit, specifically the Instruction Guide IMM 5545.

Amendment of Document

If your enquiry is regarding correcting an error, therefore requiring an amendment, on a valid temporary resident document (i.e.: Visitor Record, Study Permit, Work Permit, and/or Temporary Resident Permit), a Confirmation of Permanent Residence, or a Record of Landing, please visit the IRCC Website for the concerned form to complete. All instructions can easily be found within the kit, specifically the Instruction Guide IMM 5218.

Case Status

If your enquiry is regarding a case status which has not yet been answered via other channels, please write back to us using the IRCC Web form and choose one of the following options:

· Temporary Residence (applied online) or Temporary Residence (applied by Mail) located in the drop down menu under the heading Enquiry for any temporary residence application (i.e.: Visitor Record, Study Permit, Work Permit, and/or Temporary Resident Permit).

· Permanent residence (applied by mail) or Permanent residence (applied online) located in the drop down menu under the heading Enquiry for a permanent residence application under an economic stream (i.e.: Provincial Nominee, Skilled Worker, Caregiver, etc.).

We thank you for your understanding and patience as we seek to provide existing and future Canadians with the best client service.

Sincerely,
 
@legalfalcon,
My AOR is August 04, 2017. I received my notes from GETGCMS, it's a 130 page document.
The details are:
Medical: Passed
Criminality: Passed
Eligibility: Passed
Info Sharing: Complete
Security:
Blank Pages: only one blank page with s15(1) code
Under admissibility section, there is only one activity for security.
s15(1) code on top right corner: 7 pages
Visa Office: London

I hope it's not SS. Now, after seeing my notes, I don't see anything that's holding my PPR for so long.
Please help me understand the situation. Whenever I receive a reply for my status inquiry from London visa office it's from Immigration Section by DRD that my application is currently undergoing background verification checks.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
 
Dear Sir,
Greetings. Hope you are well. I just ordered my notes from your website. As soon as I paid for the notes, the background status changed from "Your application is in progress" to "We are processing your background check". The last update I received was in March 12 for MPE. Does this mean that my application was stuck and ordering notes triggered the update? Also, in your experience, does this mean that my Eligibility is passed? Please let me know as I am excited and anxious after the update. I would be grateful if you could help me understand my notes as well when it is delivered to my inbox. Thank you very much and have a great day.
 
hi @legalfalcon ,

Is it okey that the PCC is in the before married name of my Spouse, even though the Alterations & Observations Page has the after married name.

I can get a same name affidavit for it. Would this be sufficient?
 
@legalfalcon - I am in a very tricky situation and really need your help. I submitted my OINP application on March 22nd 2018. OINP sent me Additional Document Request for 2 things - 1. Reference Letter (I submitted this document) and 2. I need to show 1 year of continuous employment history in my Primary Code 2171. I submitted the document for the Reference Letter request (for par 1 request). For the second part, here's the deal - I chose my primary NOC Code as 2171 as I have majority of experience based on this code in the last 10 years. But in the last 5 years, majority of my experience is in NOC code 2172 and do not have continuous 1 year experience in 2171 so I am assuming that's where OINP caught me and sent me ADR to prove my 1 year of continuous employment in primary NOC 2171 that I do not have (In short, I chose wrong NOC). I wrote to OINP regarding my mistake and explained why I chose 2171. My status has been "Decision in Progress" for past 1 month. I haven't heard from OINP since. I again wrote to OINP requesting if I could change my Primary NOC code from 2171 to 2172, and it's been 10 days, they still haven't responded to my request. I am over my 90 day period and this is making me nervous. I need your suggestion for my next steps. What do I do? Should I go ahead and change the NOC code to 2172 in my EE profile and send the screen shot to OINP? I am not sure what should be my next steps. Please Help. ThanksP
 
@legalfalcon, I'm Mpnp-B applicant, got my AOR 6feb 2018 and presently waiting for my Medical Request MR. But to my surprise my background check seems to have started before MR. Any idea of what could be happening here?


Review of eligibility
We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

Review of medical results You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.

Review of additional documents Not applicable.

Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.

Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.

Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
 
1. You can use plain paper. No need to use the form. You only need details of expensive items, such as electronics (Make, model, serial number), and jewellery. For other things such as shirts, classify them as T-shirts, format shirts and number.

2. If you land with more than 10K cash you will have to declare it and also show where you got the money from. So keep your receipts from your bank or where you got the foreign currency with you. If CBSA is not satisfied they will confiscate the funds until they are satisfied that it is not from money laundering. You will have to keep the PoF with you.

3. No, for tax purposes you are only taxed in the country you are a resident of. So the money will not be taxed if you have paid taxes on it in your home country. However, all banks will take they wire transfer fee.

4. Yes, but not advised unless you have insurance and come from a country where you know how to drive on the Right.
Thank you!
for the list of items, I am making a table categorizing the items. They accept a table, right? sorry for the silly question!
