understanding GCMS notes

[MrTee]

Hello MrTee,

Do u think if A11.2 is met in Local VO then its great, as calls to employers, other validations are finished.? !!!

Does not matter where but most important thing is an Officer (not agent / analyst ) will take the final decision.

Usually verifications are done at LVO and I believe they don't do it for everyone.

 

[MrTee]

sorry there was a typo.
A11.2 done on 2016/03/03
R10 on 2016/02/23
anb both was done at CIO

That makes sense, thanks.

Thank you for reply, based on what i read from other threads, work exp is verified at LVO as u said but it is also a part of eligibility check , in his case 11.2 is met but eligibility on top doesnt yet say "met".......as u correctly said NOC IS CONSITENT as per check in ottawa, when LVO is convinced with the same about exp, then it says eligibility met in the notes..............for an fsw outland bg check starts(crime and security)then chances of rejection become low...........just my hypothesis, pl correct me if im wrong.

Correct hypothesis

I received my GCMS file yesterday (generated on June 2). The first page shows that my Primary Office is Singapore and Secondary Office is CPC-Ottawa. Is it common to have 2 offices processing the file? And which one will make the final decision? (The GCMS file shows that the transfer to the Singapore office was Feb; and there have been no updates on my file since).

Yes, it's normal. The initial processing happens at the Ottawa office and then (if you are an outland applicant) it gets transferred to either your country of citizenship or country of current residence for further processing. An officer responsible for your file from your primary office makes the final decision/recommendation to the CIC officer assigned to your case - the overall decision is a collaborative effort among departments, but final decision is made by your case officer. It depends on any concerns or red flags raised. Usually, medicals, criminality and eligibility is checked at Ottawa and then security and other stuff is checked at your primary office. File being sent to your primary office from Ottawa is usually a positive sign Hope this helps. Good luck and cheers!

Based on what I have read - SGVO is really slow because it is still trying to clear out applicants from 2014-2015. Just be patient

Correct hypothesis

Actually some seniors say, A11.2 met in Ottawa means there is very low possibility of LVO further validating exp, some others say exactly what u said ie only NOC is checked in ottawa while LVO further vaidates.....im tensed im waiting for my GCMS, if it says exp is verified then im safe i guess..!!!

Well, this is the last updated note (Jan 30) in my GCMS file, before my file was transferred to the Singapore Office.

Does this mean my application met A11.2?

However, none of the notes mentioned anything about my NOC or work experience.

8.5 months is too long. Is this what I looking forward to, too? ... ???

[MrTee]

I think SGVO is heavily overloaded, standard processing time may be does not apply to them!

 

[naofel_bd]

What are the things generally checked during background check?

Work experience is checked in Ottawa only if you are a CEC or FSW Inland applicant. It is completely ignored by Ottawa or LVO if you have a nomination, because they just assume that the check has been done by the regional nomination board. The LVO usually does the check mostly for FSW Outland. As long as your NOC is met at Ottawa, the rest of the work experience check is a breeze coz it is done mainly as a formality. Hope this helps Don't worry and stay positive
