Well there is no 100% guarantee that PAL means eligibility is passed . Even if eligibility is passed there maybe Criminality, security or info sharing steps which haven’t yet started. Calling IRCC call center agents don’t give you accurate information. They can only give you limited information. It’s always good to order note’s because it doesn’t put any negative impact. If you call every day to IRCC , call centre will give you information which change every day . Some agents give contracting information. FYI you can order notes at any stage . Doesn’t matter even you got AOR yesterday or your file is processing from last 2 years.
I know one can order GCMS notes at any stage but honestly don't you think it is kind of useless and waste of time if you order it at a stage when it is really not necessary? like for instance, member got PAL today, you suggest ordering GCMS notes?
You're great contributor and don't get me wrong but IMO, I do not agree that is it always good to order GCMS notes.. of course there is no negative impact, but there is no meaningful purpose to it *unless* there is no movement on a file for prolonged period of time say for 4+ months or simply if one wants to just know what GCMS notes says on file.
Also, I don't why would you think someone would be calling IRCC every day for app status check - doesn't make any sense. Calling IRCC once a month is ok to know file status, ideally applicant should be interested in knowing what are the assessment in given stream of application, and whether those assessment passed or not started etc. GCMS certainly has more information, but if someone today gets PAL and then asks whats next or how soon portal can come, obviously no one can predict that but suggesting on ordering GCMS to know the status on file just doesn't really justify the need for ordering one.
