Cause

It is expected behavior, that no Goal Creation and Goal Deletion Notifications are triggered.
Once the Beta Goal Import job is completed a Status e-mail for this job will be triggered for the person who ran the import.
This status e-mail will include information about how many goals were created, deleted, updated/modifyied and assigned and in case of errors will include a list of those.

Also a Goal Modification Notification is triggered for the Employee whose Goal Plan was changed and the Employee's Manager.
This Notification will be send out once a day depending on your settings for the Objective Notification e-mail job (for more information check: 2627410 - Goal Modification Notification (daily) - How to Configure and How to Troubleshoot)

NOTE:

If the Employee made an Import themselves, then they will not receive a Notification about the changes they made to their Goal Plan - in this case only the Employee's Manager will receive a notification.
If the Employee's Manager made the Import - to change data in the Employee's Goal Plan - then they will not receive a Notification about the changes they made - only the Employee will receive a notification.
