Thanks for the nice words! I got my third set of notes today. No delay this time, but what was annoying was that they generated the notes a day after I ordered them on Oct 4. So really, from the last set of notes which was generated on August 28, only a month has elapsed between the two sets. Essentially there is nothing new. Since our file has been transferred, it is now with a third officer, yet nothing has been done except that eligibility review was started on July 25 and up until Oct 5, It has only been looked at on August 15. Maybe, they might have looked at it between October 5 and today, who knows. The due date assignment to the new officer is November 30, but apparently this date doesn't necessarily mean anything will be done before or by then.
I am going back to my MP next week to ask them to see if they can find out the status of our background check since I cannot tell if they did anything with that since GCKey account has been saying that our background check has been in progress since February 22 (more than 8 months ago). I am just annoyed that they haven't even passed our criminality after all this time. If they had done anything with his background check, they should be asking for a new PCC as the PCC from Chile will be expired in 10 days. I am also going to tell them that my partner is thinking of coming to Canada under dual intent to see if he can wait out the rest of the process here, so we really would like to know if he still needs to go for an interview before he leaves Chile. Not sure if they can find out anything useful. However, it's worth a shot.
I hope you hear something soon too! It seems that there is only a few of us left that applied at the beginning of this year and that everyone else is done!
