Hehe...let’s keep IRCC busy in any case! If they’re not processing our applications, let them work on our notes :P

Completely agreed. Files with late Oct IP2 are all getting delayed. It is not a specific issue with our files but a general issue with the whole batch being processed on those dates. ‘Awaiting results of internal processing / waiting for results of additional verifications’ are all phrases for...

As @richa1987 mentions, she got the same response! God alone knows what they mean by it. To my mind, the agents are simply refreshing their template and giving all candidates the impression that files are being worked upon - though I suspect we are all victims of systemic apathy. Our files have...

Agreed! God seems to be the only recourse as the timelines are currently inexplicable - so stretched for June cases, yet CIC persists with its '80% applications are approved in 6 months' spiel!

None whatsoever :( Stopped checking immitracker as it's disappointing to see slow movement across - looks like the process may have (in)formally stretched to ten months as advised to some candidates by call center agents ('Check back in April' said they) when asked for an update on their...

There's a 10 digit (alphanumeric) verification ID that the institution must include in their response to WES. Guide your institute to use that unique reference number (ONLY mentioned in the mail they have received from WES) in their response to WES as well. This number is not known to us as our...

I don't quite get what you mean by 'no influence on processing' may have nothing to do with the timelines. I mean, cmon! Their language cannot be quite so complex that processing refers to eventual outcome and not the process itself (IELTS anyone?) At the end of the day, it's our legal right to...

Agreed. My only contention is that it's our legal right to order notes - and no call center agent has the right to infringe on ours! If call center agents have no influence either on the processing of an application, who are they to say the other mode of information we have at our disposal (GCMS...

Agreed! Calling is more case specific any day!!! But I got a call agent going through a bad hair day so she really sounded like a replica of the agents responding to my CSEs and emails to CPC-CDT-Ottawa ;) Let's hope we get some clarity soon on why security is taking so long to start...

Thanks for the brilliant job of compiling this exhaustive list! Updated my details inline :)

Let's do it! Considering they are clearly sending us generic replies, let's send them a templated request of our own :p Poetic justice :D

@cansha and @ts270890 : Thanks for sharing this tweet and commenting on it respectively! The image is appended here for the reference of all concerned who are not sure if ordering GCMS notes helps or hinders their application (NOTE: Yes, I am a firm advocate of these nifty notes!!!)...

@tobs and @ts270890 : My CSE and email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa have gone unanswered so far. It’s not been the mandated 10 working days though, so I will keep you guys posted on how things shape up next week...

Amen and fingers crossed! :) I do hope we both get our approvals together - and our PPRs soon :cool:

Hmmm, change of VO might account for slower processing :( I’m still at Ottawa according to my latest notes and call with an agent yesterday, but there’s no saying it might not be in queue to be transferred to CIO Sydney! Security doesn’t appear to be an issue, mine was also not started with a...

Hehe...definitely sounds like CIC’s style of functioning :P My file has been lying untouched since 26Oct18 (when Criminality was passed) so can’t fault your logic one bit!!!

My security hasn’t started @navinball - so no real redaction needed for mine. The agent herself (howsoever difficult it was to drag information out of her) confirmed that security hasn’t started since Eligibility is still at MET. She said once Eligibility is set to passed, security would start...

I second you. So this makes 2 of us... Please continue the count friends...

Amen! It IS thankless speaking to dozens of disillusioned souls and I don’t envy them their job, I really and truly don’t!!! We need more sensible souls like you. Yes, good God yes, ordering GCMS notes does not slow down the process! As @cansha and @tobs have pointed out in the past, these are...

Some call agents think it’s their job to put us down! As if they don’t realise how helpless we feel on this side of the fence - guess empathy is not the strongest suit for some! I’ve spoken to my fair share of helpful souls in the past, so I won’t generalise. That being said, discouraging words...
