Hi, have you received your GCMS note. I got mine one 2 days ago. Nothing new on the note, my last update in the note is the Pre-Arrival Preparation Letter was being sent
Hong Kong timeline
- Thread starter FranFran
- Start date
It looks like we all got stuck at BGC stage.Another week passed, no news
007 is on vacation and we have to wait until he is back.
LOL!!! We are waiting too... I somehow got the feeling that the decision might come before the GCMS note arrives in my email......It looks like we all got stuck at BGC stage.
Most of us got sent to Hong Kong. like west mountain said, it is mostly because of the need of background check... honestly, timeline is not comparable in most cases as applications are unique on their own. you might be able to hear something from IRCC after 8 months starting from the date they received your file. but there is no guarantee that this is gonna happen to everyone. The longest timeline is 1 year. so hope the best, prep for the worst...
today marks our applications 7 months into the process... RD on March 28, transferred to Hong Kong on Jun 10, and receiving Pre-arrival letter on Aug 7.
Thank you for the response. I have read on other boards after PRE HKVO will determine whether interview or not. if no need for interview then DM right away.
I hope your case will wrap up and approved soon then it will shed some light in our application.
You are right! The next step would be interview or, if lucky, directly DM. I certainly hope that whatever the next step is comes sooner as my wife starts to get unhappy about being separated from me... lol Thanks and good luck to you too!
Oct 3 will be marking 10 months after our application was received. For all Chinese applications, there will 7 days delay due to the national day holidays. Canadian embassy and consulates will celebrate as well
Wait... I checked their schedule and on their website, they are only off on 1st, 7th, and 14th of October... did I get it wrong??Oct 3 will be marking 10 months after our application was received.

I'm sure the Consulate officers in HK will be celebrating with their gas masks ready?
Maybe a good time to work some extra hours

I have mixed feeling with the thing happening in HK... the idea is good but the mean is too overwhelming and might slow down our cases, especially given that Canadian IRCC officers are known for their resemblance of Lightning the Sloth...I'm sure the Consulate officers in HK will be celebrating with their gas masks ready?

Seems like many are stuck in background check so it may not have anything to do with the case workers.
Wonder if it's something to do with the 3rd party BGC company being more cautious regarding the HK issues?
Or maybe the ' sloths ' focus has changed to other workloads. Who knows, many possibilities.
All you can do is wait.
