Hey folks!! So I received my GCMS notes and they are kindda confusing!! Few questions:
1) The secondary office is stated as CPC Ottawa. The agent told me my CIO was Sydney. So does this mean my file moved to Ottawa from Sydney? Where can I find the date when it was moved?
2) Also the dates on notes are from July. Where can I find when the file was last updated?
3) and the status of security is not started- what does security involve? Work, travel?
TIA for any responses!!
It's very common for several offices to be involved in the processing of your application - this doesn't imply anything. My own application was approved exactly 2 months after AOR, and on my GCMS Notes there were CPC-Ottawa, CPC-Vegreville, IRCC Winnipeg and Immigration Vancouver.
At the bottom you have all the notes from the Analyst/Officer - these are the latest "touches" they made on your application. If the last "touch" dates from July, they may need some additional time for some steps (which doesn't need to be negative news).
Security - this is handled by CSIS, and not much is known about it, other than that it's a thorough analysis on someone's background, in which they also request information from other (foreign) authorities such as Interpol. They conduct this step for everyone. Security is usually the most time-intensive step, but it depends on the response rate of other authorities that they need to collaborate with for the information exchange.
