Hi Legalfalcon,
Just a quick question:
According to my GCMS notes since 25 May 2017 (requested 3 times - one month apart) , the security is still showing blank under assessments. There is about 13 activities blank as well under s15 and s16. It is just showing normal Security, not security screening. Eligibility, criminality passed on 26 January 2017, Medicals passed for a second time on 22 February 2017. Since then, no new updates or any notes. Call centre agents have been confirming that security passed for both of us since 15 June 2017.
My questions are:
1. Will Security show passed on GCMS notes if all has been finalized or can it stay blank till the end.
It will continue to stay blank and you will see s15/16 on the top right corner of that page.
2. Do you think there are red flags as we are normal security and our application is still not finalized after 9 and 1/2 months?
(our notes doesn't say anything we can see that is strange)
There is nothing to worry about. You are almost there. When I applied for EE in September 2015, my application was sitting in security for a few months. My application was approved after 8 months. Most of the delays are due to no one working on the file.
3. The Call center has been telling us for the last 2 months that our application is waiting for final review and has been assigned to a final officer. Can it really take this long to finalise or do you think there is something wrong with application?
During the final review, an officer will evaluate the recommendation from different agencies, especially the CSIS, CBSA, RCMP etc. and update the file. It is not that it is taking long, the issue is that most likely no one has worked on the file.
Keep raising CSE and check for regular updates and also order GCMs notes, even though they may not show anything new, but may help in moving your file. It is just a matter of time before you get the PPR.
I value your input so much and appreciate all you are doing for us every day.
Thanking you again in advance.
