Okay. Then follow up with them. Luckily my both notes arrived on time. But there have been many cases in recent times when notes have been delayed.

Hi Everyone,

I just received my 2nd GCMS notes which I had applied on 17 Dec and they were generated on 18 Dec (So 2 days early!!).

Anyways, the notes almost same as my first set. Even in the second set Criminality and Security had not started. But, there is one change.

See the screenshots below. In my first notes, in Application Assignment the application was assigned to RC-2710 which is basically the code for Montreal VO. The due date was 06 Sep which of course was not followed. In the second set of notes, I think some VO officer picked the file and assigned it to himself. I guess this was done on 28 Nov based on the due date. He did miss his deadline but luckily for me not more than 10 days.

@richa1987 and @Nishika22 and all others who have their recent set of notes check whether your assignment still shows some VO code or an agent code.

Edit: Editing to add one more interesting detail. The page where analyst has comments and set my eligibility as recommend passed has S.16(1)(c) on top right of the page. So, I guess mere presence of this thing doesn't indicate SS.

My notes should arrive in 5 days. I'll look out for interesting info especially pertaining to security checks because I know they were done at the time the notes were ordered.

I am yet to recieve my notes which was raised on 13 Dec... Even the notes are delayed....

Mine is also delayed. My representative submitted the request on 3 Dec 2018 through ATIP. However no GCMS has received yet.

yeah.. did a followup, yesterday got a reply that it hasnt been released by CIC and they expect it to land this week. lets see. What I expect is to get the PPR land before the notes do !!

Just noticed that CIC has raised the POF requirement for this year. Now its CAD 15772 (up by CAD 432) for 2 and 12669 for Single. Just FYI , though it should not impact those who have filed already.

Don't worry. As I said, I don't like W groups so I'll be here and I'll keep the list.

Congrats for ppr .... The list is really helpful So please continue it.

Thank you, friend! My travels to the Middle East (Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey) were all before the Arab Spring (Spring of 2011), so while those countries may be of interest in general, the region was not yet in turmoil. But, yes, your gut tells you that travel to troubled regions is going to add to your processing time.

The theory I was floating earlier is that the more you have traveled, the richer the international info sharing on you, which should add more confidence to your profile. Of course, it's hard to prove any of these things, but I was glad to learn that your timeline doesn't seem to have been affected by extensive travel! I would happily take 4.5 months!

I has an extensive travel history as well (37 countries) I had 80 odd trips. My spouse had 19 countries and 40 odd trips. But nothing to Middle East. Only to US, Europe, Asia (incl China), Pacific and Latam. Both of us had 3 PCC’s (India, US and SG). We got out PPR in around 4.5 months.

The number of countries and count of trips does not matter. As long as you don’t have much exposure to Middle East you should be fine. Also I think having a PCC from Us, UK helps bcoz these countries has already done work on your background earlier and they share data with Canada.

Yeah it's for applicant with January 2019 AOR.

Yup..

 

[derkdsou]

Yes, and it is a very mild increase over last year -- just 1.55%, which I think is in line with past increases as well.

Yeah it's for applicant with January 2019 AOR.

Hi. Can you please tell me in which page number can i see next review date. I am not able to find in my 100 page report

 

[derkdsou]

Good luck, and please keep sharing your updates with us!

Guys, my file was approved in October and I’m yet to receive PPR. (AOR June 8)

I think I’ve done what people have been doing: call IRCC (agent told me file is still in Sydney, a second note was dropped but no one knows when Sydney will react), raise CSE, email Ottawa, NDVO and my LVO.

Specifically, I raised webform and email those three VOs more than a week ago, and not a single reply (well apart from the automatic ones). Is getting no reply AT ALL imply something wrong? The agent reassured me this Tuesday that everything is fine. But people who contacted, either via webform or email, at least got some reply (even though some may not be helpful). The fact that no one even bother to reply me and my file seem to be stuck in Sydney really gets my nerve...

Looks like no PPR batch was released this week. Next week should be affirmative for those who're waiting for some movement.
