Thanks kryt0n but I think in my case job verification is already done , Eligibility and criminality are met . The final note which is written by case analyst is as follow :-

I have verified this application under section 11.2 of the immigration and refugee protection act and make the following determination. RECOMMENDATION ***appears to meet the requirements**** Ready to finalize
----------------------------------------------------------- civil status PA (xxx,xxxxx) Married , Passport expiry xx,xxxx Spouse/cl (xxx,xxxx) no trace in GCMS/FOSS other than present application ------------------------
Work experience(s): qualifying period from xxx to xxx submitted letter of references which is/are assessed as follow: EDOCS NUMBERS : xxxxx The duties listed in the letters appeas to be consistent with substantial number of the main duties under NOC code selected. The letter of reference appears to demonstrate that PA met the minimum requirements of 12 months of work experience .


As you can see there are some hidden information above( represented by ------ )in this note , any explanation please ? Have they finished my job verification or is it still pending ?

Dear experts,

I raised the below concern in another thread but still not satisfy with the answer. Therefore again, I raise it here to seek for your advice:

- Stream: EE PNP
- Visa office: SGVO
- AOR: 1st December 2015
- Medical: passed (medical recheck completed and passed in November 2016)
- Eligibility: in progress (since beginning)
- BG: changed from not needed to in progress (I found this change on 16th December 2016 by log in my Express entry account, so not sure whether the date is correct, no alert email pop up, but for sure it was not needed since beginning until November 2016).
- Per last feedback from SGVO, they said my application is at final stage of review by an officer. Not sure whether it's true or just a standard reply from SGVO.

Per my GCMSnote on September 2016, my security check was not started. There's due date of 2nd December 2016, updated on April 2016. My concern is that per CIC website, they said the standard time frame to process one application is 6 months on average, but why for my case, since the beginning, they already decided to process more than 6 months. My understanding is that the due date of 2nd December2016 is the date they change their status of security check from not started to started, meant they only started the security check on this day.

Please advise. If possible, basing on your knowledge, by when I can have their final decision. I ordered GCMSnote but will only receive by end of this month. There's some important decision need to be made asap but still hanging due to this limbo situation.

Thank you very much for your kind support

Apologies for the late reply...

ESDC has to do with LMIA and the rest(groups, associations) no need to worry about

s.16 is when they withhold some information on that page in relation to some 3rd party verification that has some confidential info that they wont disclose to you...

nothing to worry about...

Best wishes!

Elgibility is still Not Started. It is more than three months. Is it ok. ---> NDVO updates eligibility right at the very end just before PPR
Same for Security. ----> normal, when you see blank for security means security has started
Can any thing more be deciphered from these notes? ---> NDVO has found you eligible from activity 2
All good...
