OUTLAND approved sponsorship then STUCK in Mississauga ... GATHER HERE ...

[Masonb6888]

Yeah seems so. Hope that we will get some luck real soon

Hopefully.
I was debating on calling again Monday morning. But there wouldn't be any point to it..

 

[csturner92]

I decided to call the call centre AGAIN and try to poke for more info. What prompted this decision was getting ANOTHER set of GCMS notes that said my Eligibility hadn't even been started yet and it's been 6 months.

The lady on the phone put me on hold and looked in to my file and told me my Schedule A hadn't been received, by my PCC had been received. Well that's interesting, because my notes say you have my Schedule A, and the last 4 times I've called you have told me that you have my Schedule A, and I know for a fact I sent it to you because my wife and I triple checked our application was in order before sealing the envelope and mailing it.

MyCIC even says no additional documents are needed! LOL!

Long story short, I had to fill out (really just update the info) another Schedule A and send it in via webform because I had no option to upload via MyCIC.

This was 3 days ago, so if I don't hear any change I'll be calling again Wednesday/Thursday to make sure they received THAT one.

Afterwards, she said my application would be transferred if I met all the eligibility requirements.

Well I always have the same feeling before calling them... nevertheless I keep calling... Did you order GCMS notes?

I'm furious! How incompetent that is.... your story matches mine. It is mentioned clearly in our notes that all the docs have being received + same status in mycic account (no additional docs are needed). I also called many times - the same answer we have everything... keep waiting. I mean what should I believe an agent who doesn't know much or my notes?...

Wow. So we have a similar timeline. I sent my Schedule A upfront as well.
- I have called numerous times to confirm that they have our Schedule A. They even gave me a date (Feb 22) of when it was attached to my account.
-MyCIC says the exact same thing.
-Notes should be coming to me by this Wednesday. This will be my first set.

I'm curious as to if I'm in the same situation. It says my eligibility has been started, but ZERO movement. It's been so long. My MP will be getting involved after I get my notes.
They told me the past two times I've called, "It looks like your account has been marked for over seas processing, but that doesn't make sense since you're only a US citizen and this is probably what is causing the hold up." I told this to my MP and they said they would look into it. I then decided to hold off until I get my notes so then they could site my notes when they go to inquire about it. They agreed that would be better than to just go asking based off what the call center employees say.

My MPs office was willing to help since they said that it is strange that a US applicant hasn't heard ANYTHING in almost now 7 months.
We sent everything upfront, all the dates were still good, everything was accepted (PCC, FBI BGC paperwork, Medicals) Everything.
All we have is AOR1 and Medicals passed and 'Eligibility started'

we've heard that Mississauga might be doing the processing?? but you'd think we be told something in regards to that and they would update MyCIC.
either way, I'm pissed off and over this whole thing. It's been over half a year now and I haven't heard shit.
when last year US applicants were seeing CoPR in 3-6 months.

MyCIC also says my eligibility is under review or whatever, but ECAS says Application Received, and my Notes say it hasn't been started. MyCIC doesn't seem to be very reliable as it obviously isn't giving correct information. Honestly what I'm most pissed off about is the incompetence off the immigration officers as a whole. If they hadn't made this mistake with my application, I could very well be on my way to DM or have my PR already. Some Americans have gotten it in 4 months. So basically I'm 6 months in and JUST getting started (assuming they don't screw up AGAIN)

Believe your notes, they are the most accurate representation of where your file is and what is going on with it.

People keep talking about notes. What are these notes about?

these notes (GCMS or Global Case Management System) you can order them and it's like the skeleton info of your application. i.e. it's what the immigrations officers use to put their own physical notes attached to your file for communication purposes since not always a single officer does one application. It can give you insight into why your application is at a standstill.

Oh ok interesting thanks for letting me know!

Bit of an update: called them up to ask if they received my wifes Schedule A and FBI report that we've submitted through the webform. The lady said she confirmed that they received them, but nobody has looked at them yet, and that we're just waiting for them to look at it and send it to some visa office. I guess the next email we should get is from the visa office they send it to, is how I understood it.

My wife still hasn't ever gotten the actual request to send her schedule A, we just sent it through the webform because we knew they would ask for it at some point.
