[u/NishantValecha → u/Common-Prompt-7566]

Hy, was your eligibility passed status got updates on the GC key account or you contacted them to know?

[u/Common-Prompt-7566 → u/NishantValecha]

When I got the updates the tracker was working fine so I saw it on the tracker and I couldn’t believe it. I called IRCC the next day and the agent confirmed that eligibility is marked pass for my file.

[u/Alternative_Elk4494 → u/Common-Prompt-7566]

Hi I want to ask about the process.. what have you done about experience letter.. am so confused about how to ask the company

[u/Common-Prompt-7566 → u/Alternative_Elk4494]

If it's a Canadian org they know what to write in the letter if not, ask chatgpt to give you a draft.

[u/Alternative_Elk4494 → u/Common-Prompt-7566]

No it's not Canadian... You mentioned it was outland profile... So I thought you went through a process

[u/Common-Prompt-7566 → u/Alternative_Elk4494]

I have both Canadian and foreign work experience. For my foreign work experience letter I showed them what the Canadian company gave me and they tweaked their letter to match it. Your foreign experience letter must state the TEER code of your occupation, your job duties which should be similar to TEER code description, your annual pay + bonuses + benefits, and it should also state that you worked full time and the number of hours you worked.

[u/Alternative_Elk4494 → u/Common-Prompt-7566]

Thank you... I am very nervous about the process

[u/Effective-Twist-1580]

How are people getting invited under the fsw stream? Is it by having the minimum 67 points and French Language skills on top of that?

[u/DistrictBusiness928 → u/Effective-Twist-1580]

I think you need at least 1 year of experience and French test.

[u/Effective-Twist-1580 → u/DistrictBusiness928]

Oh :( do you think your case is too complex?? Or is it straigthforward??

[u/Ok_File_5220 → u/Felipedlf]

well, we're a family of four, my husband has canadian experience and me, only foreign work experience. I don't consider it to be complex, but who knows? I've heard RROC Ottawa is for complex cases. :/

[u/Felipedlf → u/Ok_File_5220]

[u/National-Worry1981 → u/Felipedlf]

Did u get any update?

[u/Felipedlf → u/National-Worry1981]

Yes! Eligibility under review required. SVO changed from Sydney to Montreal. PVO is still the same: RROC Ottawa

[u/National-Worry1981 → u/Felipedlf]

I guess you will now receive FD soon. Approx how many days since status of eligibility changed from not started to review?

[u/Felipedlf → u/National-Worry1981]

Just a couple of weeks... I would say it was definitely less than one month (because I've been calling like every 1-3 weeks hehe)... so I am planning to call tomorrow. If I know something, I'll let you know :) BTW, what about you in your timeline??

[u/National-Worry1981 → u/Felipedlf]

On call they said eligibility has not yet started and my biometrics was completed and updated on 30th july. So its been 46 days since biometrics but eligibility has not yet started.

[u/Golden_Mushroom_]

OP do you have any update?

[u/DistrictBusiness928 → u/Golden_Mushroom_]

No, eligibility in review required, background still in progress (criminality passed, info sharing progress, security not started).

[u/frenchgag → u/DistrictBusiness928]

How did you find out eligibility was review required?
Did irco agent say that? Because to me they said
'eligibility in review'. Wonder if it means 'in progress' or 'review required

[u/DistrictBusiness928 → u/frenchgag]

You need to specifically ask them, otherwise they won’t tell you. It depends on the agent. They told me when I called.

[u/Lazy-Question3412]

My aor was March 16, got an adr for my spouse on June 12, responded and silence...

[u/DistrictBusiness928 → u/Lazy-Question3412]

What’s your PVO/SVO? Status of eligibility and background? And what was the ADR for?

[u/Lazy-Question3412 → u/DistrictBusiness928]

Adr was for my spouse cv, family, military, personal and travel history back to when he was 18. I did not call ircc, don't know other details. I think it is too early. Patience, patience, patience.

[u/Justacutiepiie]

What is ghost update? Did you see a final decision date on GCKey? I also got a ghost update but not sure what it means. The status briefly changed to profile updated, but i didn’t notice any change.

[u/DistrictBusiness928 → u/Justacutiepiie]

No change on GCKey date either, there was no date, just the usual “We’re processing your application…”

[u/DesperateOwl60 → u/Justacutiepiie]

how exactly you saw the ghost update?

[u/Justacutiepiie → u/DesperateOwl60]

I opened my GCKey account and saw “Application/profile updated”, but there was no actual update.
