ALL ABOUT GCMS - HOW TO ORDER, READ, & GENERAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED

[SidA]

So this is a note from the Program assistant. Now your file is awaiting a final determination from an officer. In most cases if everything looks good, the officer will just go ahead with the program assistant's recommendation and make the eligibility Passed, and then your security will start followed by PPR.

You can request another set of GCMS notes in next few weeks to see the officer's determination. But there are no concerns.

Thanks for your kind words. The note from Program Assistant is dated 9th May and then another on 18th May. No status has changed after that. The online application says that we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements even today. No action on the file for the last 4 months. What to expect? The due date is mentioned as 22nd Oct 2018. Does it hold any significance? So cant do much except waiting..right?

Dear @legalfalcon
I have similar gcms notes, got from Get GCMS. 03/Jul/2018 (note2) program assistant checked ielts,pcc,eca etc. and said R10 OK but Recommendation: review stat questions. This is because I have answered yes to statutory question regarding previous visa rejection from Canada or any other country (i had UK study visa refusal).

Then on 18/July/2018 (note1) Case Analyst put Eligibility recommendation: recommend pass. Analyst wrote details about my file including my experience and said he verified employer(online) and my job description matches with noc. FSW point 69 Ready to Finalize. I also met pof.

My eligibility summary mentions following-

Primary Office: CPC Ottawa
Secondary Office: Centralized Intake Office

Case analyst recommendation in note 1 on 18th July 2018 is recommend passed.

My AOR 12 June and It is almost two months since this note was made.
How long usually it takes to get Officer's confirmation on eligibility after being recommended passed by the Case Analyst?
I would highly appreciate your kind advice.

Still I cannot see the image, i don't know what is the problem.
It seems case analyst is ok with your crs score. Can you put the whole note from Case analyst, then we may understand what is the reason behind the "review required" status. Please remove your personal info.

The status on MyCIC will remain the same that you see now until you send your passport and a visa and COPR is issued. If your eligibility has passed, you are most likely in security.

This is why the GCMS notes are important to track the progress.

If the case analyst has recommended passed, the officer will go along with it and there is nothing to worry. However, after the case analyst recommends and an officer reviews, there can be some delay. Further, it could also be a case where the officer has recommended passed and your file have been sen to for security checks. You will need a new set of not to verify that since you will not have any status change to your MyCIC status.

In my case stat question "review required" was stated by program assistant which was later probably reviewed by Case Analyst as his recommendation was "recommended passed". What your note 1 by Case Analyst says? What is written for eligibility on page two of gcms notes under ASSESSMENT? If it is recommended passed then it should be good, even review required is not a problem as long as your work experience letter and pof are accepted by Case Officer.
Good Luck and please let us know if you get any progress.
