I got the same. It's one of the standard ones they use, but I don't know why sometimes they send that and sometimes the other...

Yeah sometimes they use a different one... I received the following from CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca 6 days after the agent on the phone sent a reminder:

Good day,

Please be informed that your application is currently in queue for review by an officer. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide you with a date on which your file will be reviewed.

Please be assured that you will be contacted immediately should further information be required or regarding the next steps in your file.

We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

Regards,
Megan

I think there must be a reason why sometimes they use what I received and sometimes they use what you guys received. The "additional verifications" one sounds more like something such as SS or RR might be going on, whereas the other one sounds like it's just waiting for a final approval or something like that. But then again who knows, maybe I'm totally wrong and they don't even mean anything different o_O

I ordered GCMS notes yesterday again. I really hope I get PR before getting the notes though :confused:

I don't know, I called two days before the email and eligibility was recommended pass, so that's not RR. Maybe my security has not started at all and yours is done and just needs the final stamp?

I got one like that back in May! Is there a trend developing here?

I received this response back in May too, when I sent a webform once my 6 months were completed!!! For some reason I had in my head that this kind of response was given to webforms, whereas the other ones we mentioned earlier were from notifications sent by the officer on the phone... but don't take my word for it cause I really have no idea about how they do this. Was this response to a webform or to a notification sent by an agent on the phone??

Yeah yours can't be RR then... I don't think it has to do with security starting or not because until last time I called and the officer sent the reminder, my security hadn't started either. Sounds like our cases have pretty much the same status, so my theory about the different answers received after the notification was sent to the officers doesn't work :confused:
