Is CBSA note different from the paid version? Which one is better? Do you have all the information you need with this CBSA note? Like, Eligibility, Background check, etc?
Yes I've seen my eligibility, bg check, criminality and info sharing as completed. Security not started and medical in progress.

Thank you SO much! Is this the free version of GCMS, right? How long did it take you to get it? I just ordered one on March 1.

I think I've figured out why November AORs are facing huge delays especially given the fast processing of October AORs. I I think it has to do with the IEC Experience program. The quotas reset every year, so basically January 2023, it reset again. The processing time is 2 WEEKS. I would not be surprised if a lot of agents were shifted to process those applications from CEC pool... timeline wise it makes perfect sense

Hi All,

I got the Portal credentials around 9:30am.

I was able to successfully upload my son's and my photo.

However, when i try to upload my spouse photo i get this warning message.
Photo is taken by a Professional and photo is not too bright nor too dark.
Anyone knows how to resolve this ?

Warning: Your photo does not meet the following requirements:
  • Brightness: Your photo may be too bright or too dark.
To ensure your photo does not get rejected, please upload a new photo that meets all requirements. Please note that an IRCC agent will review your photo and will decide if it can be used to produce a PR card.

Hopefully this is the case! This still doesn't explain why some AOR Jan Feb 2023 got the approval :-?

Did you make sure there is no glare or white light on the face in the picture?
I had issues with size initially, I had to upload an high resolution as the size is downgraded while cropping.
