I guess we should just forget about the 31 day rule ... it seems people from all immigration streams are ordering their notes more frequently. There seem to be people that order them every month now, because they can. We will be at one year in the processing mark in 10 days. I was hoping to get my notes before that point so that I can point out some things about what stage we are at and ask them why certain things are not completed yet if our status has not changed since our last update. We applied for the notes on December 7 and were not sent an email until January 10 saying that we needed to send another consent form. That means they only looked at our request 34 days after, which might not be too bad if we didn't have to resend the consent form. However, it is taking them that long to even first look at your request. Just adding to the info here about how late the notes are going to be. Hopefully some of you will be lucky and get yours not too long after the 31 days.

Got my notes this morning. Generated the same day I ordered them. So they say around for 1 month. That month is not accounted for in my notes.

Kind of annoying that they do that! I wonder if because I had to resend the consent form that they will be generated after they receive my new consent form rather than closer to the date that I ordered them??

In fact mine were also generated 4 days after receiving them. My question is why didn't they check the consent form then and let me know?? Do they generate them and then it goes into some kind of queue and when your file comes up, they check the paperwork? Yet another thing which doesn't make sense to me.

No idea. Its silly. Any updates? Any indicators as to why an interview is required? Does it state interview required??

Yes, this time around, the notes which were generated on December 11, 4 days after I ordered them, had one line in the paper file section under eligibility that Interview was required and then there was a line after that which said "Please place file in interview queue". That was it. On May 26, when our file was opened in Mexico, they did a pre-assessment text on our relationship, you probably got the same thing. Anyways, they summarized our relationship and listed all the proof of relationship evidence we submitted with our application. However, there was no mention of any concerns they had with our relationship (subjective comments like there is a significant age difference between the the sponsor and PA and that our cohabitation period was a few years ago and we didn't apply right away, etc.). This latest set of notes did not contain any of these comments, either, and simply said that an interview was required. We know our red flags, but it is strange how they haven't actually written down what exactly they were concerned about.

I called the IRCC call centre yesterday to ask what I could do when we reach our 12 month mark since our app was received. They told me to send a letter through the IRCC webform to inform the Visa Office once we have reached the 1 year mark and ask what our status is. He didn't say that this would make them flag our app and try to finish it off faster.

I just want to know if they are to give us an interview date or not. This is the thing that is holding up everything. The date on the notes where they said to put us in queue was on November 14. It has been more than 2 months now and I know that Jan applicants have interview dates this month, so this is something I am going to press them about when I send our letter next week. I was planning on doing this anyways. Hopefully before the end of this month I will get a response from the Visa Office on what is going to happen.
