HI,

Has anyone requested GCMS notes from IRCC to check the application status? My application status changed to IP on Oct 25th. I called IRCC and they told me that my file was sent to the local office (Mississauga) on December 2nd and they have to allocate a test center and date. Do you think GCMS note will provide some update on what is pending? One more thing, I live Uptown (North York) and I am not sure why my file was sent to Mississauga. Shouldn't it be St Clair? I really appreciate if someone can shed some light on this!

All GTA applicants are processed in either Scarborough or Mississauga. St. Clair office is dealing with FP and RQ applicants.

Hello,

We had interview on Jan 11 and DM on Jan 12. I sent this info before (on this Forum) but for some reason the spreadsheet isn’t showing that.

Still no news on Ecas. Last line on Ecas is “Decision Made”. Do you think we should call CIC? It’s a painful waiting experience, eh?

  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on October 6, 2017.
  3. We started processing your application on October 30, 2017.
  4. We sent you a notice on January 13, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on January 30, 2018 at 3:45 PM. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment. If you have not received this notice prior to the date of your scheduled appointment, please contact us.
  5. We sent you a notice on February 8, 2018 to appear and take the oath of citizenship at the citizenship ceremony to be held on March 1, 2018 at 9:30 AM.
