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!

I know the feeling. I’m only in my 7th Monty though but I have been in the same spot for most of those 7 months! Feels like it is taking forever, but I hope soon we can just look back on all of this!

I have that and s.19 and s.15. Ive been curious as well
If you read the email that came with the notes, it says 17 is a security check code which concerns the "safety of individuals", 19 (1) concerns "personal information" and 15 is about "the detection, prevention or suppression of subversive or hostile activities". However, I have no idea what it means still. I guess different categories of security checks and it seems they don't do it for everyone, because I didn't see 19 or 15 in my notes, only 17 and 16(1) (c).

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! :(

God is so F@$^... frustrating, I just saw people from March that got passport request and yet we hear nothing from the VO. I understand how you feel,

I am sorry you got not much info from your notes, where was your file transfer from and to? I don't get why your criminality hasn't been done by now, so annoying... let us know how it goes with your MP and if you get a response from the VO.

I am now wondering what day would my notes be generated I am supposed to received them by the 25 of Nov. but since I haven't applied for them since April (if i remember correctly generated on June6 and received June9) I expect to see something new, at least security or eligibility started. I am praying that they extend my husband medicals (expired October 18), I am running out savings and desperately need my husband to come and help, in the mean time still stuck because i have not received my daughter birth certificate and Vital Statistics say they sent a request for more documentation in order to add her dad's info to her birth certificate, so that is adding waiting time and more frustration as I don't have a date yet to fly to Mexico. Fight tickets go up like crazy near the holidays and I am still unable to even plan a date... will see how this story ends...

My heart goes out to you ... a lot of stress trying to get your daughter's birth certificate so you can get a passport and book flights just so your husband can see his baby. I sure hope you can get all that arranged. I know how expensive it is to fly. Last year when my partner came during the holidays, he said the cheapest day to fly were Christmas Day (not ideal). He ended up spending Christmas with his family back home, however, he managed to come on New Year's Eve ... that must have been a cheaper day too (or the 30th).

This time, my notes were generated a day after I ordered them, which wasn't what I was hoping for as the longer it takes, then you can see with the extra time if they have done anything constructive. It is again annoying that they generate the notes and then wait 1 month before they send it off to you. Last 2 sets of notes were generated 2-3 weeks after I ordered them, so I thought the same thing would happen.

I think they are still doing security checks on our file, as there was a new security code listed on a few pages and the location of our file has been blanked out instead of having the officer's name on it.

I will go ahead and submit a request for the MP to check with IRCC to see if anything new has transpired in the last month. I doubt it. Then after this, I am going to just wait ... at least I will get to see my partner at the end of the month and forget about this for a while. If it takes past December, I think he is going to quit his job and come to Canada under dual intent. We shall see what happens.

Hoping things turn out OK for you with all the paperwork with your daughter so you can spend the holidays with your husband!

Is it normal for notes to say “police certicates : multiple” ?

My gcms notes say this, but when I call cic they say I don’t need to send anything in and that I have nothing outstanding.

My background check has not started and I’m a March 29 applicant. I wonder if they gave me wrong info at the call centre

June 9th Mississauga applicant here. We requested notes on October 6th and received them today. My eligibility check, security check, and criminality check has not started .However, our notes were generated the same day we requested them i.e. October 6th. Now that one month has passed since then, I really hope that at least one of the three checks has started.

do you guys even know what "not started" means? read the first post of this thread. if you don't want to, then it just means that they have already begun your checks. for security, most of the time it is finished and just waiting for eligibility to finish before they mark it.

Is this same with criminality?
