We called CIC last week and we were told that 'Background check may be in progress'. Ottawa VO. Is there any timeline from here? How long does Background check last?

Although nothing in our application has changed before or after. Not even a ghost update. We are Dec 5 AOR.

This seems an extremely vague update! I think the best way to get an update (though it costs a bit of money if you're outside Canada and takes a bit more than a month) is to order GCMS notes. I'm at around 120 days after AoR at the moment, but ordered notes to hopefully still all the niggling anxieties (e.g.: did I mistype a date? did my ex-boss remember he didn't like me that much and deny my existence, did I mix up any documents while uploading, etc, etc, etc). If you haven't done so, I think you should order notes so at least you have an update that's as objective as can be....

Guys
Just got a ghost update .my status changed from IP2 to IP1
What does this mean ?

 

[Shadima]

GCMS or by calling

I tried to call them many times last week and also yesterday but couldn't connect to any agent. Is there any trick?

How do they assign which visa office will process our application? Is it based on your country of residence according to this link in cic website? https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...-ircc/offices/international-visa-offices.html

Hello,

I was working in a full-time role during the last year of my master's course. It was a full-time, paid position and after I graduated, I continued to work with the same employer (no break in work after graduation). There is an overlap of 9 months between my master's course and my full-time work. Since it was a full-time employment, I included it in my express entry application and submitted it. Here's my details below:

Master's Coursework:
Start: Jan-2014
End: Dec-2015

Full Time employment:
March-2015 to Present

ITA: Oct-29-2018
AOR: Dec-28-2018

Please let me know:
1. If this might cause an issue to my eligibility for the FSW program.
2. In case they choose to exclude the overlap period from my overall experience, how is my net work experience calculated ( Graduation date to ITA date? or Graduation date to AOR date?)

I'm still awaiting an update on my application and have just 3 days for the completion of 6 months. Appreciate your responses on this question.

Thank you!

If your work reference letter clearly states that you were employed full time, i.e., at least 30 hours per week for the duration that you have claimed, and your supervisor/HR manager backs up this claim - if and when contacted by IRCC) - then you should be fine. It would be especially useful if you have included pay stubs and bank statements (showing deposits of your paychecks) for the duration of this employment. Also, remember that IRCC does not always authenticate every work reference letter with the employer, and the presence of other supporting documents - such as pay stubs, bank statements, income tax returns, etc. - is usually sufficient evidence for a case officer. For more information on what qualifies as full time v. part time work or what counts as skilled work under FSW, go here:

I don't think this may have some influence, but it's not definitive. Not many visa offices come up for discussion in the threads, so I surmise that not every visa office processes PR applications - which may be why my application went to Singapore and not Bangkok. On the other hand, I met someone from Bangladesh whose file ended up in Singapore (which is the visa office for Bangladesh).

TLDR: Who knows what the IRCC gets up to
