There is no number on my aor2 letter at all that I can find. It was sent to sponsor and simply states my app will be processed in Ottawa (this is before it was sent back to Mississauga)
Did you receive any other correspondences from the VO in Ottawa? That would probably have the same initials. However, maybe they do things differently there. Anyways, I don't think it makes a big difference. It's not like you can talk to this person and try and speed things up, unfortunately.

Is there literally someone’s initials? What do they look like on the notes if you don’t mind me asking

CB18570 has searched my name and my wife’s name in the “client details” section

So would CB18570 be an officers initials?
correct, initials and im assuming some type of ID number... literally someones initials... for example XX988779 is what you would look for

check your assignment due date and see if it is 120 days after when they requested it. I think you might find it is the case!

Cheers
yes, in the first notes they sent the request April 25, and the Due Date on assignment was August 25. I have asked for a second set of gcms notes and expect them at the end of Nov. I am not sure if i will see new info.

In all your different notes have you seen any changes/updates? like in the comments section did they write more or nothing? I believed they extended your medicals so i don't think you'll go through an interview, not confirming just I hope you don't have to... i think you will received good news before the end of this year.

enjoy your vacations!

Thanks for your post.

Between the first and second set of notes, my eligibility review started. I guess that is progress. However, I don't understand why it has been saying that our eligibility was being reviewed ever since March when the notes said eligibility went into progress in July . They have not been doing things in the "usual" order with our application as we also had the validity of our medical results extended back in May when they transferred our file. Yet, almost 6 months later, we still have not received PPR. It's just been very frustrating because they have not really done a whole lot since they transferred our file 6 months ago. I hope after this second assignment due date, that we are getting close to being done.

So when they extend your medicals that means you don't need an interview?

We'll see what it says in Notes #3 next week or the week after.

Did your eligibility say “review required” ?

I want to make sure I have no outstanding documents but I don’t know where to look
As stated in other threads it would be obvious. You can always call the call centre and ask if you are missing anything. Try to relax and stop overanalyzing and trying to put the pieces together. Honestly it is what it is. You have to relax. Let it be

I can't say for sure you won't go to an interview, i just don't think they would extend them and then ask for interview, i believed extending the medicals seems to be good news, but like i read in other post it seems that nothing is consistent, they are doing all things randomly...

I just don't know, but from your case i don't think they will let you wait long time. I believed you send lots of evidence so you should be good.

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! :(

Similar situation happened to my last notes. Generated like 5 days after ordering them and then they sat around for 27 days before I got them. Frustrating to say the least

My last 2 sets were generated 3 and 2.5 weeks after I ordered them. I thought the same would happen ... Maybe it wouldn't have made much of a difference. After ordering 3 sets of notes and not seeing much of any progress, it feels like nothing will ever happen and that I am going to be stuck like this forever!
