I have seen posts where people have mentioned that CIO Sydney is slow. Is it True? How long are they taking in issuing PPR?
Unfortunately yes, CIO is the slowest.
What does it mean that my application has not yet been transferred to a local visa office? I am based out of India. Will it be transferred to NDVO? or it can be sent to Ottawa also?
Analyst will check and clear your file and than it will be transferred to NDVO. IMO, your PPR will take at least 2 months from here.
Timelines:
ITA :17th Apr
AOR: 11th July
Medical Passed : 25th July
BG: NA (since 25th July)

No further updates.

GCMS stands for Global Case Management. It is basically what Canadian Immigration and Citizenship department of Canada is currently using the following computer systems for processing immigration / visa applications.
In simpler terms, these notes clearly reflect what stage your file has reached & what all has been checked till date.

There are several options to order these notes, I ordered mine from www.getgcms.com. It takes 30-35 days to be delivered in your inbox.

A phone call would be the best option.

Thanks.

Dear Friends,

This is my First Post, but i have been following this forum for last 1 month. Need you help:

I just checked from CPC-CTD-Ottawa on Visa office where my application is getting processed. Reply is pasted below:

"
Dear Sir/Madam,



Please note that your application is currently at the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia and has not yet been transferred to a local visa office.



Please submit any inquiries via our web form and your inquiry will be redirected to the correct office.

Regards,



Gisele

What is the criteria for assigning cases to a particular visa office. Is it Random?

I have seen most cases getting processed at Ottawa, then why our cases are in CIO Sydney?

I really wish there would have been some clarity on how Cic works.

Do you have a previous Visa rejection (any country)?

There have been cases and CIO can finalize & issue PPR. Expect it be within 15-20 days.

Hi All,

I've been stuck at NA2 since 22nd July. I emailed CPC-Ottawa and came to know my file is with them. Below is my timeline:
AOR - 4th july
IP1 - 20th July
NA2 - 22nd July

Should I order GCMS notes? It takes 30-35 to get delivered so I'm not sure if I should order or not.
