I have no idea just ordered them to see what I can gain in information. I figured better than calling *again*. I will keep the thread posted.

What is your processing office?

I have no idea. I applied for GCMS twice and there was almost no difference. I decided not to order it again.
Someone here mentioned to request gcms from the security agencies but have not tried that.

I have ordered notes from cbsa and csis. Will update the thread once I have the notes

The same way you get GCMS notes, except you change the office to CSIS or RCMP or .....

Une nouvelle mise à jour est apparue aujourd'hui le 30 Mai. Les étapes « Compétences Linguistiques », « Présence Effective », et celle de « Interdictions » sont maintenant complètes. On m'a demandé par courriel les copies numérisées de mes passeports et de mes documents de voyage le 29 avril.

New update today. LPP marked complete. I didn't post about it here but they asked me to send them passport and travel document scans on 4/29 and I ended up emailing these twice. The first time was the same day on 4/29 but I didn't change the email subject line per their instructions. I only realized that a couple weeks later so I sent the same scans again by email on 5/17. I never got any acknowledgement of receipt by email and reaching out via webform gave me a non-answer response (which btw they took 14 calendar days for) because they completely misread my question. Anyway, I ended up ordering GCMS notes a week ago and I finally called their helpline on 5/28 because yesterday 5/29 was my last day to provide the scans to them. After being hung up on once by an unprofessional agent who I guess isn't used to talking to someone neurodivergent who doesn't have speech patterns that exactly match neurotypical people and then accused me of not being who I am lol, I finally got a clear response from the second agent that they had, in fact, been able to add the scans I sent them to my file.

I honestly wasn't expecting LPP to be done so soon given I have a very anormal case. But this just reminds me that seeds already know where the water is!

Et... c'est fini. Dès aujourd'hui, je suis finalement fièrement canadien (en tout cas, officiellement, parce que j'en étais déjà un dans mon coeur). Pour celles et ceux qui attendent encore leur tour, je vous souhaite bonne chance. Ne perdez pas l'espoir, votre temps arrivera très bientôt.

My crops have finally been harvested. I am now a Canadian citizen. For those waiting, good luck in your citizenship journey, no matter in which way you decide to do the waiting (choose wisely!).

Goodbye and happy travels on the journey of life.
