I have submitted my express entry online application on 20th March 2018. It has been more than 9 months, but there is no update on my application. Only medical step was cleared on 1st week of April 2018, after that no update/ communication. As per the IRCC inquiry team, my application is still in process and processing time may vary with each case.
I don't know how much time I need to wait, it has been a frustrating period for me.
Can someone advise me in this regard.

Can you please tell me the process to order GCMS notes?
If you're in Canada, you can apply for them yourself.
If not, you can either ask someone in Canada to apply on your behalf, or use the services of getgcms. Notes usually take 30-45 days and are the only way to know the status of your application.

its long time. but it looks like quite a lot of delays in processing. I am May applicant - no updates from medical pass. GCMS notes didn't help me too much - just gave information that the last time my file were touched on July 2018 and also that from the very beginning they want to check work background and travelling history - these notes were made in June. nothing since than

Hi

I applied my file on January 10,2019.
File still stuck on review eligibility.
Applied gcms on august 11 that shows MI3 officer review required. But file was not touched after march 16.
Again applied for gcms on July 11 but now they did not send my notes even after 50 days this time. I have even replied to Atip email still no response. Generated the CSE but no response.
Online and customer service still say file is under review eligibility.
Only 2 months of work permit left.

Any advice
Thanks

Hi

Just want to share my PR journey.

Applied express entry : sep 3, 2018
Rejection: Nov 10

Did not get any procedural fairness.
Waited for GCMS ( We don’t think you are working as a NOC B job. Due to balance of probabilities we reject your file.)

Second time applied: January 10, 2019 with exact same documents
Medical cleared: Feb 15
March 10 : Eligibility review required

Applied GCMS in June
Waited for 2 months no response

Applied GCMS again in September
Received after 45 days which showed March 10 : Eligibility review required

Contacted MP office same response Eligibility review required
Received my GCMS which i applied earlier in June.

File was not touched for about 10 months. Despite
Applied gcms 2 times .
MP office called on my behalf.
I contacted cic severel times.
Same response every time Eligibility review required we will contact you if an update is made on your file.

Then on November 10 received email which said we are not satisfied with your Eligibility because your wage is low as compared to other same position jobs. You have 7 days to clarify. Then responded with the help of a lawyer with a letter.

December 10 received email of approval and Appointment at Vancouver office On jan 6, 2020.
Received PR card on Jan 15
Work permit was due to expire on Jan 29,2020

So Second File applied was approved in exactly 12 months.

Calling cic
Applying gcms
MP office Calling
None of these moved my file.
