    GCMS Notes and the Curious Case of Section(s) 16(1)(c)

    Thanks for the feedback, Aquakitty! I'm married (and not a criminal ;) ) , so that redacted section makes zero sense to me. My first set of notes were released in their entirety and contained no disclaimer regarding Section 16, so that's why I was curious.

    GCMS Notes and the Curious Case of Section(s) 16(1)(c)

    I received my notes this morning and the email contained the following language: "The processing of your request is now complete and I am pleased to enclose the documents requested. Certain information qualifies for exemption pursuant to section(s) 16(1)(c) injurious to the enforcement of any...

    extremely negative rant.. consider yourself warned!

    At least some agents have access to our GCMS files. I have an entry from a Montreal Call Center agent in my GCMS notes. They have the information available to them, it's just a matter of finding an agent that is willing to give case-specific assistance. As earlier posters have said...

    At least it's unique! You really would think that they would deliver it with a trackable service. It is the "golden ticket" after all.

    Ottawa for me. Congratulations again! Please add/update your information on the 2015 spreadsheet if you haven't already done so. It really helps everyone to gauge processing times! :)

    I think ChellyCat means that she's already landed with her COPR, but she's worried that she won't be at her current Canadian address to receive her PR card because she will have moved to another address in Canada.

    MAY 2015 Spouse Application OUTLAND

    Let's hope that you hear something soon! I don't follow the London VO thread, so I don't know if or when London sends a batch email. The batch email is sort of a recent trend with Ottawa anyway. Keep us posted!

    OLD IN PROCESS VS NEW IN PROCESS ON ECAS EXPLAINED

    If anyone is interested, consider checking out the many publications and bulletins that CIC provides on their website. It's not certain how closely CIC VO's follow these procedural manuals, and some of them haven't been updated for a while, but they are still helpful and interesting. I've...

    MAY 2015 Spouse Application OUTLAND

    My eCAS changed to "In Process" on August 6 and on or around August 25th eCAS added a line stating that they started processing my application on July 14, 2015, however, they messed up and didn't send me an SA letter until August 12. It also showed that medical results were received since my...

    MAY 2015 Spouse Application OUTLAND

    Hey, we do have a very similar timeline! Have you received a generic email from the London VO? My file is being processed in Ottawa, and the latest consensus is that Ottawa applicants could expect DM after maybe ~2 months from receiving the batch email. I suggest that you keep an eye on the...

    I received the same batch email this morning! Honestly, I'm relieved that I got anything addressed to me, even if it's a batch email.

    So someone previously mentioned that according to their MP, Ottawa had a pile of apps that would supposedly be finalized by mid-October. Where are all of those shiny DMs?! On a side note, is the Ottawa spreadsheet still popular, or are Ottawa applicants mainly utilizing the 2015 Outland...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Absolutely, there is a lot of contradicting information out there. However, I was referencing this video posted by CIC on Youtube. CIC states not to send documents that weren't requested at around 7:15 in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j92dQnfXyAU You can find this same video and...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    It's funny that you ask that, because I was just watching one of those CIC videos about sending in a complete application and they explicitly said not to send any documentation that was not requested.
