ALL ABOUT GCMS - HOW TO ORDER, READ, & GENERAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED

[legalfalcon]

Hi,

I received my updated GCMS notes today. My eligibility was previously "Passed" in my March 207 GCMS notes.
But now 11.2 EE MI has been cancelled as of May 207 and now by eligibility is marked as "Review Required".

Does anyone know what cause 11.2 EE MI to be cancelled and re calculated?

TImeline:
FSWO
AOR: 8 Feb, 2017
Medical Passed: 9 March, 2017
IP: 11 March, 2017
NA: 14 March, 2017
IP(2): 30 March, 2017

Was it "passed" or "recommended passed"?

Passed.

In the March 2017 notes - on page 2 it was "Eligibility: Passed"

In the notes section, i could see:

In the July 2017 notes, im not seeing anything in the "notes" section to explain why 11.2 was cancelled, or why it is "review required". The above officer review comments is still the last relevant comment.

This is very strange. Never seen this before. The eligibility is done in two steps, first a program analyst will review and recommend passed, then an officer will confirm it. If you do not see two notes for eligibility, then it could be that eligibility was not confirmed and instead of writing recommended passed, it was simply recommended passed and not it is under review.

I wouldn't worry too much yet. When were your notes generated? If it was more than 3 weeks ago, you should order another set and by then you will see some progress.

Yes, i could see the analyst and officer review comments in the notes section in the March notes.

I received the updated notes today - showing requested date 07/05/2017. Will request another set of notes in a few weeks to check progress and perhaps also call CIC

Usually the security is retracted and will not be visible as you see on Page 2 which has S15. Similarly other security related notes will be hidden too. The only thing which is later released is info sharing, which you see on Page 47, with the US.

The first few pages is your progress, last few is the actual notes which tell you what all has happened.

If you may have a specific question, please ask.

Hi Legalfalcon,

Thanks for your reply. Based on my notes, i have the following questions. Appreciate if you could help with your inputs.

> Was my application approved on 19th May? If yes, why did i receive PPR only on 6th July

> As it reads COPR date as 19th May and there is a print queue, does it mean they took 1.5 months just to print the Confirmation letter or was the security still going on in the background?

> The security is blank, notes were generated on 26th June, however, application status says approved on 19th May. I am confused what all this means.

Please help. Thanks a lot.

There is no explanation for this except that IRCC was just sleeping on it. Usually PPRs are issued in batches and there are significant delays in when PPRs are issued from the day the application is approved.

> As it reads COPR date as 19th May and there is a print queue, does it mean they took 1.5 months just to print the Confirmation letter or was the security still going on in the background?

CoPR is printed after the passport is submitted, that is why you see in queue.

> The security is blank, notes were generated on 26th June, however, application status says approved on 19th May. I am confused what all this means.

Security notes are always blanked out. If your application was approved, then the security was completed before than. Without the security is completed, an application is not approved.

Please help. Thanks a lot.

After 65 Days since My AOR date ( 28th April ) I ordered GCMS notes in the first week of July. Hopefully, I will get it by the first week of August. My medical is not clear yet.Many people told that its not a good idea to order GCMS before passing medical.

What do you say legalfalcon ?

Many people have no idea about the law. Ordering GCMS and medicals are two entirely different things and one has no impact on other. When you order GCMS, your computer generated information is transmitted to you. It is not a physical file which is moved to another office and thus delay the processing.

I wonder where people get the info. Surely not form the Canadian immigration law

Thanks a lot. I totally agree with your opinion. I will share my GCMS notes as soon as I get it .
