IMHO, any document which supports your case should be uploaded.
Once i read somewhere, in the blogs/forums, when i was learning about the process, 'Chances of an application being rejected because of a lot of documents uploaded is none. On the contrary it may happen that if a certain document is missed, you may be asked for it.'

Even i have uploaded as many as i could which supported the case, including my Original Birth Certificate and a Notarised English Translation.

However for my case, it was not required, but i did't take chances, had asked someone (a friend of friend) who got a PPR, he said he had uploaded it, so I thought of doing the same.

Thanks a lot . i will raise CSE in that case and upload the original birth certificate as well as the passport copy .

About the original certificate, yes the original needs to be uploaded too. This is said in the official website.

Translation of documents
If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with a copy of the original document as well as a version translated by a certified translator.

If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with:

• the English or French translation; and
• an affidavit from the person who completed the translations; and
• a certified photocopy of the original document.

The instruction guide for Express Entry candidates and applicants explains how to meet these requirements.

I just found this yesterday and uploaded my original marriage certificate

Thanks a lot. I don't know how did I miss this information at the time of applying. Did you raise the CSE and than uploaded your original marriage certificate ?

 

[meenal31]

I think you should upload the original birth certificate and your siblings passport or identification document just as you have suggested.
Even if it's not needed eventually it'll give you some peace of mind while you wait for a decision.

Thanks for the suggestion . I will surely do that .

Please is there still any June applicant still stuck in IP1. Etobicoke VO.

My timeline is.

AOR June 23 2018
Medical Passed / IP1 July 10 2018

No changes since then. I have ordered two gcms notes . Both almost the same


Eligibility: Not started
Security: Not started
Background check: Not started
Medical: Passed

At any stage you will at least find 2 people with you...so don't worry.

Also, people here are so awesome that you will always have someone lifting your spirits and solving the mystery about @cansha's gender.

No point ordering notes. I know of a lot of cases where the movement stops once gcms are ordered. Call for info. Or shoot a query email to ircc

I know a lot of cases where people got PPR the very next day of ordering notes.

This has been discussed so many times and even there is a confirmation from IRCC’s official twitter handle that ordering notes doesn’t delay processing, still people believe in this misconception.

There are recent cases where people got refusal after 4-5 months in IP2 and reasons were something that could have been sorted out by providing some extra documentation had they orderd notes.

@cansha can help you with more info.

I have called and was told that nothing has started. The agent said all I can do is wait for decision. She said what I can see online is also what she has and cannot provide any information.

I don’t really think notes could affect an application in that way, and at the very least, he/she might know why the application is stagnant, although at least personally, I’ve refrained from ordering notes until the 6 months have passed, especially knowing currently I might get the PPR before the notes haha.

The reasons of status being “not started” may vary, but one of them could be a recent transfer to a different VO. It seems unlikely that both notes would coincide with that situation but in their hands, everyting is possible, even more within the 6 months period.

I guess that could be another way to look at it but in my case I provided extensive documentation to a point that I am now dreading and ADR.

Is that possible without even getting an ADR or a procedural fairness letter? Even more in IP2

I’ve seen that happen only in cases where they have sufficient basis or reason to believe that the applicant has withheld info or misrepresented info

This is absolutely not true. Please disregard this post.

Yes. Applicants job duties didn’t match the NOC he had selected and it was in review required for long before officer reviewed and refused the application. In cases like these, they don’t always issue PFL.

And the thing is even that is not consistent. Some agents are good and considerate and would change the NOC themselves (atleast one known case) and some will just refuse application.

Lol we both seem to be at a difference of opinions. Mines more of an observation after going through multiple threads and coming across cases where people’s files haven’t moved past MEP even till the 6 months mark(eligibility-not started) and in almost all those cases I’ve noticed that they’ve requested for multiple sets of gcms witchin the first 5 months.
Of course everyone is free to do as they choose but I’m sure there is some logic or internal policy which makes all the agents who repeat day after day — like broken records to all our queries, that we must wait till 6 months as we are within the “normal” processing timelines.
I never claimed my observations are 100% right buddy but I have enough reason to blv I am. Also be a little more polite the next time. Last time I checked, people were free to discuss and make their own assertions about which posts to regard or disregard. If it’s one thing I know then it’s that neither you nor me can claim to know that either of the two of us know that internal workings of the VOs without an iota of doubt.
