@muyiroro as regards your GCMS note,was it noted anywhere in the note that updated reference letter wasn't included or how did you know that d issue was that.l am asking this so l can review my GCMS note again if there is anything to address quickly via webform because no concern was raised ,no pre assessment note on my GCMS or probably l didnt check well.
IRCC supposed to ask me for ADR cos of recommend interview but they didn’t probably cos my medical validity was less than one month when I receive letter of refusal.
BELOW WOULD GIVE MORE UNDERSTANDING ON HOW RECOMMEND INTERVIEW WORKS:
ELIGIBILITY ANALYSIS
Far too many times, prospective applicants applicants ask me questions relating to this topic.
In this post, I will carefully address the real issues and meaning behind "Recommend Interview". I hope every participant on this platform makes the most of the information below.
Kindly be advised that every immigration applications submitted to IRCC are reviewed by at least two levels of people:
1. Program Case Analyst:
Most of the time, it's the Program Case Analyst who does the initial R-10 check that often positions certain applications on "Recommend Interview". They review all information present on file and can only make recommendations as per the applicant's circumstance - i.e, recommended interview (RI), review required (RR), recommended refusal/eligibility failed (EF). The Program Case Analyst may also be able to refuse some ill-equipped applications due to poor documentation.
Reason for Recommend Interview;
The eligibility status - "Recommend Interview" is mostly common when the Program Case Analyst has certain concerns about the submission of the applicant for an immigration application to Canada.
This is largely due to some irregularities on the applicant's employment reference letter and inability to verify applicant's work experience, ineligible financial documents to cover for the applicant's proposed program and upkeep in Canada, and in some cases due to salaries being paid by cash at applicant's place of work.
2. Senior Immigration Officer
The Senior immigration officer (visa officer) will then review the notes and assessments of the program case analyst and make the final decision, this also includes whether or not an interview is required. If an interview is necessary to continue processing your application, the status would change to "interview required". However, since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic, IRCC have not been conducting interviews for prospective applicants both for work permit, spousal sponsorship, parents sponsorship and some other PR applications. In view of the foregoing, an immigration officer may disregard a recommended interview and subsequently grant an approval.
My observations;
I have reviewed several GCMS notes as of recent and in the past and I have come to understand that majority of applicant's with "Recommend Interview" as the current eligibility assessment on their GCMS notes are later in the visa process approved by the Senior Immigration Officer.
Although, in a few cases, some applications may be rejected due to the limited knowledge on the applicant's part to address the initial concerns. This also stems from the fact that the format is not clearly spelled out by the immigration authorities.
This is not much of a bother you know, i would recommend you check properly for the pre-assessment notes/comments which can be found on the page 2 or the last two pages of the Gcms notes.
I hope this information satisfies your enquiry and future questions relating to the subject matter.
It will end in praise.
