It’s been a month since the status of my husband’s application got changed to “Decision Made”. I checked the tracker to see the other applicants’ timeline and some received their Passport Requests in less than a month. Should I follow up? I tried calling the contact centre, got directed to the automated system and the message was they’re still doing the background check.
Decision Made-Outland Application

Hi, I agree. I phoned the CIC contact centre and spoke with an agent this morning. I was told that the instruction for passport request has been forwarded to the Visa Office in Manila on May 11th, that’s the date the status was changed to “decision made”. I should’ve had received the email but I told them I didn’t get anything. Checked spam/junk mails, nothing. So the agent told me that he will send a request to follow up. Hopefully, this will be it! I recommend you do the same. Goodluck to us! 
Congradulation! I'm still waiting for further info. The GCMS notes got delayed, 4 months at most. Have rang the contact center, got the same reply, ie., my case is still in process and is pending for final review. It's been 16 months since IRCC received my application.
Same here. Got my DM in Feb or March and nothing from them. Any advice to find out what’s going on?
So what is the point of requesting GSMS notes if they dont explain what decision was made? I am confused.

You asked a question and you were advised of the best way to go about finding out more information. No one promised you finding out the decision. When notes are ordered sometimes you find out what might be holding it up. Sometimes you don't. Either way it's an option.
Hope you are less confused.
I suggest you contact CIC call center. I did that and I think somehow it helped speed up the process. I found out that the paper file was already forwarded to the visa office in my country since May, that’s when the status changed to “decision made”. We got his passport request last July 6 and Visa Approval last July 28. His flight to Canada is already scheduled for next month.
i did couple of times and got also the GCMS once. All they say no further requirements and have to wait for them. My DM is since Feb
By status change, do you mean the status on ECAS changed from in process to decision made?
As for my husband’s file we applied in sept2020 as of niw we have completed the biometrics and medical and whenever I tried calling the cic the automated message say that they are doing the background check. Will I get the decision made once the background check is completed?

What I understood from the agent today on the phone if the decision is made no further requirements occur. It is either approval or rejection. If the officer needs further requirements he is free to do so until the décision is made
