so we are getting close to the one year mark and not many files are done. I am not sure if my file made it to the VO yet but fingerprints and Medical done. does anyone recommend doing a webform or GCMS notes request to see where the file is?

hi there, I have got my "decision made" on Jan 05, 2021 but there is nothing since then.

Anyone of you have experience such a delay in getting COPR?

My application date is on Feb 27, 2020 and my case is at the Ottawa VO, is this visa office usually that slow?

Same situation as you until Jan 21st, when our app was moved to LVO. GCMS notes suggested it hadn’t been touched until then.

Now waiting for it to change to application received in ECAS and maybe, at some point, back to in progress for AOR2 (finally!).

Recommend ordering your notes at this point if you haven’t already?
Congrats to you!
Did your ECAS get updated now?

Also, your GCMS notes showed no update but app was recieved in LVO? so GCMS notes doesnt really show updated actions on our files?

GCMS notes are generated few days after the request is filed and are a few weeks old when they are released. Not always the most recent information.

I am in teh same position as you. I did submit GCSM request and even called, but it hasnt moved at all since last year.

I will be submitting another GCMS notes again.

did you call them on their toll free number and was the call made during their office hours ? because I know people say they call them mostly in the early morning
I did call them on their toll free number and it was in the afternoon during office hours.

Any particular reason to call them in the morning instead?
