Hi Legel Falcon

I am outland pnp pr (not as an investor) applicant.

My question is, will IRCC consieder my finance history (credit history) of my country. ?

because my office-mate took a loan on behalf of my name (more than 10 yrs ago), later I noticed he was not continue the payments. Due to this reason there is a black mark on my credit history.

Please reply to my question, will it be efftect to my PR application badly ?

You have to meet the proof of funds. If you meet them, then a poor credit history is not an issue. However, you need to check with the Provincial rules you are applying for a nomination with and also, IRCC.

Hi @legalfalcon,

I have an inquiry about the job reference letter for express entry. I worked as a research assistant at “A” university. I wanted to get the reference letter for the time I have worked at this “A” university. However, HR cannot provide me the letter with official letterhead that follows the format that CIC asked for. The supervisor (professor) that I worked under previously also moved to university “B” unfortunately, so he cannot use the university “A” letterhead anymore to write my letter.

From my research, what most people recommend in this case is to have my supervisor sign the letter on plain paper and get it notarized. I also need to get my supervisor business card for “B” university. Nevertheless, my previous supervisor gave me the reference letter under the letterhead of university “B” (his new company, I did not work on this company).

My questions are:
1. Is the letter that certifies I was employed with company “A” under the letterhead of company “B” (his new company, I have not worked on this company) sufficient and enough? Do I still need to notarize this? Or do I still need to ask my previous supervisor to get the reference letter on plain paper and get it notarized?
2. Since it is on his new company letterhead and with his phone number and new company’s email address, do I still need to ask for his new company's business card? Or should I ask for the old company's business card?

ECAS was used primarily before the MyCIC account was created. Some applications are still reflected on it, most are not. It is currently used for citizenship and refugee applications.

If you do not see your application on ECAS, nothing to be alarmed.

Thanks for quick reply

I can see my file on ECAS but is show "In Progess"

Other outland said that file show "Progress to File Received"

1. Is that ok ?

2. When normally file show "in progress to File Received" ?

1. Yes, that will work as long as the letter mentions that that you worked for A and that is where your supervisor supervised you.

2. There is no requirement of any business card. The contact details should be on the letterhead, and if IRCC want to call your supervisor, they can.

All applications will have primary and secondary visa office listed in the GCMS notes. The secondary visa office will keep changing based on where your application currently is.

Primary office is responsible for the over processing of your application and finally finalising it.

During the processing, based on work load distribution, and specific requirements required, the file is transferred to many secondary offices.

See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/file-transfer.html

1. The primary office is based on the where most of your work references, PCCs and any country specific verifications may be needed.

2. See above.

Thanks for your reply @legalfalcon. In the above reply, you have mentioned that 'the primary office is based on where most of your work references, PCCs and any country specific verifications may be needed' whereas in the post that I have pasted below, you mention that 'the primary office is the one which is valid for your Country Of Residence'.

In my GCMS notes, the CoR is mentioned as India. Based on some research, I have not been able to find what exactly does CoR in the GCMS notes refer to. Just to state my situation again:
Country of Citizenship: India
Country of Residence while applying for PR through FSW during ITA and AOR: Netherlands (as well as current country of residence)
In GCMS:
Primary Office: New Delhi
Secondary Office: Centralized Intake Office

My doubt is
1. What is the CoR referring to in GCMS. Is it the country of residence or the country of origin of principal applicant (Origin = Citizen?)
2. Why is my primary visa office New Delhi. Shouldn't it be London Visa office? (which is the corresponding visa office for Netherlands)
3. If New Delhi visa office issues me a COPR then won't I face challenges in case I am in The Netherlands?

Thanks again for your help

The Primary VO is usually based on your country of residence. If you applied from India, then your primary VO would be NDVO. The primary VO will be responsible to issue your COPR and process your PR Visa. This is different if you are in Canada.

However, in some cases, if most of your work experience, education, etc, is form one country, while you move to another country, then even though you reside in a different country, your primary VO can be the one where most of your work, education, and where you lived.

1. COR is country of residence
2. See above
3. See above.

Hello, sorry to disturb you.
Today, after nearly 2.5 years I received Schedule A for me and my partner. I was under SS, so now wondering is this a good sign?

Dear @legalfalcon ,

After completing my 2nd remedical on last Saturday (29.05.2021) I received following query from IRCC –


Quote
"Client Information: Please provide explanation if your spouse and child are accompanying.

Client Information: Please provide updated medical examination.

These must be received at this office by: 2021/07/01."
Unquote

• Now, when I applied for PR I declared my wife and child as not accompanying. Then why are they asking for explanation if my spouse and child are accompanying?
• I’ve already completed my 2nd remedical, and my account is showing that I’ve already passed medical test on 31st may 2021. Then what are they asking for?

Any help will be highly appreciated. Pls pardon me if my questions are too stupid, my brain has become foggy after 2+ years wait.

This is a great indication and a movement towards a decision. Send the schedule A and make sure you enter all details and do not leave anything out.

All IRCC is asking to confirm if your family is accompanying, if they are not, then you can respond accordingly. Also, the medical examination, it is not clear if it is for your or your dependents. Even if the dependents are non accompanying, their medicals have to be submitted, all family members have to be admissible.

Thanks a lot @legalfalcon and this is clear to me now. Just a final check on this topic since I am a bit anxious on whether everything is mentioned correctly by me during my application.

Why would my CoR be mentioned as India in the GCMS? From your above explanation, I do get the point that the Primary Visa Office can be from a different country than your CoR but then the CoR in my GCMS should have been mentioned as Netherlands. Do we by any chance mention our CoR during the application phase from pre or post ITA till AOR?

It could be a transcription error, but it does not matter much. You can send a webform and point it out so that it is not entered incorrectly in your COPR.

 

[Dikku1111]

If ECAS changed to process to application received, how long time it stay ?

Because lot's of outland noticed process to received but mine one is how same process.

So i am bit worried.

Please guide me.

Thanks

Hi @legalfalcon

My cousin is a recent PR of Canada and is in Canada right now for a couple of months. Now he is thinking about applying for the visitor visa of his parents. Do you think it is a good time to apply for his parent's TR VISA?

Due to pandemics can it be a little easier for them to get the VISA or a little tougher? thanks for reply.
