[ajanarth]

@DreamCanada16 and others true that, being inland and staying more than 3 years still called temporary worker status and having to go through work permit, medical and waiting period sucks. I really wish Canadian Immigration understands the frustration sometime being outland is far better not needing to go through what we need to, just another frustrated inlander

U got BOWP means u can work anywhere to anyone. U can make it sure by calling CIC helpline. one shouldn't change/lose the job between ITA to eAPR. after that everything gets locked. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/losing-job-after-ita-t271242.15.html

FSWC, FSTC, CEC and caregiver classes (caring for children class and caring for people with high medical needs class) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp

For a BOWP issued to FSWC, FSTC, CEC or caregiver classes applicants, there are no restrictions to employment location; therefore the Province of destination value must be set to “UNK” first, and then the City of destination value of “Unknown” can be selected as follows:

Province of destination: UNK
City of destination: Unknown


Requirement to maintain the CRS score http://www.ci.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp

Ministerial Instructions given under the authority of paragraph A10.3(1)(h) determine the basis on which Express Entry candidates are ranked. Under section A11.2, applicants are required to maintain the qualifications that led them to be included in the top-ranked candidates to be issued an ITA in a particular round of invitations.

When a round of invitations occurs, CIC invites the top-ranked candidates in the Express Entry pool to apply for permanent residence. Candidates in the pool are ranked based on self-declared qualifications in their profile and according to CIC’s CRS. After each round of invitations, CIC publishes the score of the lowest-ranked candidate to receive an ITA in that round of invitations.

An applicant’s CRS score is automatically recorded in GCMS at the time when

their ITA is issued; and
their e-APR is submitted.
At the time of the e-APR, processing officers should compare both CRS scores to determine which of the following scenarios should be applied:

If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is equal to or higher than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application will not be refused under section A11.2, as long as the applicant’s supporting documentation corroborates their claims and they continue to meet the MEC for Express Entry, including the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply.
If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is lower than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application should be refused under section A11.2 for not having maintained the qualifications that would justify the ITA.
Ministerial Instructions related to the CRS may be revised periodically. Applications must be assessed under section A11.2 according to the Ministerial Instructions in force during the round of invitations to which the candidate is invited. In other words, an applicant’s CRS score at the time of the ITA and at the time of application should be calculated based on the Ministerial Instructions in place at the time of the ITA.


Change in circumstance declared after an e-APR has been submitted http://www.ci.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp

To assess an application under section A11.2, a processing office must consider the information in an applicant’s profile at the time of the round of invitations and the information provided when the applicant submits their e-APR. After an e-APR is submitted, an application cannot be refused due to a change in circumstance unless

the officer determines that the change occurred before the applicant submitted their e-APR and that the change would have caused the applicant to be refused under section A11.2: therefore, the application should be refused under section A11.2; or
the change in circumstance means the applicant no longer meets the minimum requirements of the program to which they are applying; therefore, the application may still meet the requirements of section A11.2 but can be refused for failing to meet program requirements.
For example, if an applicant marries before they submit their e-APR but informs CIC of the marriage only after they submit their e-APR, the marriage can be taken into account as part of the section A11.2 assessment.

If, however, an applicant marries after they submit their e-APR, then informs CIC of the marriage, the marriage cannot be taken into account as part of the section A11.2 assessment. However, the change in circumstance may affect whether the applicant still meets the program requirements. See below for details.

I felt first time bad for holidays and long weekends in my life :'( :'( :'( as CIC doesn't work on our applications in those days. This adds to our wait :'( :'( :'( :'(

Hi wise,
I have a question for you guys. Now I am invited to apply through EE. About the proof of funds, I would like to submit my checking and saving account. If I submit it, can I still use these accounts for daily life like shopping (of course, I will keep the money above their requirement all the time)? Thanks.

 

[KimJowan]

Just wondering if there is a possibility of rejection after 6 months of waiting.

 

[DreamCanada16]

Just wondering if there is a possibility of rejection after 6 months of waiting.

Dont worry much or think too much,stay positive. We haven't seen anyone got rejected after 6 months of processing recently . If someone had then it might be rarest of rare case

 

[sharma1990]

Anybody knows ,whats the actual processing time of security checking i mean to say minimum time to maximum time and if someone crossed 12 months ,does that mean cic needs to the security again as on my gcms security due date is of 1 year ,and after one year my bg changed to not needed this time ,anyone ?

i couldn't find till date any deadlines to complete PR application or BGC check or Security from any source. Whenever i ask CIC agent, they tell there is no timelines for BGC but once we ll get the reports we ll make final decisions. I wish there could be some deadlines to complete the file. Further we dont have long history as well on Express Entry, i think we are in history making.

I suggest everyone those are waiting more than 6 month tweet CIC on twitter this might buzz them and set some timelines or priorities to those who are waiting from more than 6 months.

While searching CIC website i found this

Processing times
How long it takes to process your application will depend on

whether you applied through the paper-based application process or through Express Entry, or
which visa office processes your application.
To avoid delays:

let CIC know if there are changes to your personal information (see below), and
avoid contacting us more than once about the same issue.
Your application will be delayed if:

there are criminal or security problems or we need to do more background checks,
your family situation is not clear—reasons could include a divorce or an adoption that is not yet complete or child custody issues that have not been resolved, or
a visa office has to contact other CIC offices in Canada or abroad to verify the information you gave.

i think most of us are stuck here we need to do more background checks

 

[DreamCanada16]

I found one Article in delay

My application for permanent residency is taking very long time and CIC will not tell me the reason for the delay. What Can I do?
September 7, 2011
There may be various reasons for the delay. Often times your application is placed in a long queue in the CIC backlog, and your file might be stuck at the criminal/security or medical check stage. When CIC processes immigration applications, they are responsible only for assessing whether the applicants qualify for a specific immigration class or category. If the applicant is qualified, the CIC will refer the file to the Medical Office, RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) to have a medical, criminal and security screen before the permanent resident visa can be issued. Since these checks are done by third parties, the CIC has virtually no control over the process.

As an immigration lawyer and your representative, we may make an inquiry on your behalf about the reason behind the delay. While CSIS and RCMP may contribute to the delay, oftentimes the real issue is with the CIC or CBSA. Your file may be, for example, misplaced and lost in the backlog of files. On the other hand, if CSIS does cause the unreasonably long delay, an inquiry may be made to CSIS on your behalf. Usually a prompt communication with the responsible government agency will be able to get your file back on track.

If necessary, a complaint may be lodged to the responsible government agency according to law. If the CIC is responsible for the delay and all correspondence and requests are ignored, the last resort will be an application to the Federal Court of Canada for a writ of mandamus, compelling the CIC to make a decision on the application without unjustified delay.

I copy this information from another Fourm .The information provided by QORAX one of the VIP members :

Background & Security Checks

Note: Our Background Check comprises of 2 parts:
1. The Standard Documentation Checks,
2. The Security & Criminality Checks.

Standard Documentation Checks:
Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress". All docs been checked & our NOC being tallied against the MI, if the VO finds our case 'eligible' for Canadian PR, the file becomes 'Accepted'; and then it goes for standard background checks, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc. The VOs have a way with that, they are experienced enough to ascertain the logical disposition of our case. But, if there are any concerns of his/her, s/he is likely to ask for additional docs, do further scrutiny vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 3-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.
*The older system has a queue, thus can be longer.

Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; vis-a-vis, Political, Socio-Econmical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc. This gets us the SDEC, CDEC & SECCRIM.

This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the No. of countries visited, Applicant coming from 'certain' countries, ex-Servicemen [including Law Enforcement services], Prolonged stay in a country w/out sufficient docs to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations, your *Name (?), Inter-Religion/Nationality Marriages etc.

If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage. If there are any 'red flags', our case goes into a 'spin'. Then our file might go to the local Police/CID agencies; the outcome/timeframe of which is beyond the control of CIC. And thereby the timeframe can be anything [sometimes beyond 1yr]. But, usually this stage should be over by 5 months max. However, a point to be noted is that we can also be called for an Interview [at this stage], due to this reason.

-Culmination: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. [With new system, sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds]
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.

*Yes, that's how a certain Mr. Sharukh Khan was detained for 4.5 hrs in an US port. He was a VIP, thus 4.5 hrs. For u & me -things could be different.
...
The Process in a Nutshell:

Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >

Stage-3: Meds Sent > e-Cas: "Medical Results Recd." > Issue of PPR* > Send Passport/s > Security Check > Visa/s Stamped > e-Cas: "Decision Made" >
*The Meds & PPR are sometimes 'clubbed' together.

Stage-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".
