We just received our GCMS notes which were generated after we learned we were in queue for an interview. We ordered these to see what were the reasons they wanted the interview. However, tater carefully examining them, we still cannot find any comments about what exactly they are concerned...

Kind of annoying that they do that! I wonder if because I had to resend the consent form that they will be generated after they receive my new consent form rather than closer to the date that I ordered them??

I think you need ARC for your husband right? Is this one of the main reasons for the interview? I suppose they might ask this question to find out if you have thought about contingency plans in case you are refused. It's like a general question such as "Tell me about your relationship and...

Long time is right! I am not going to make any more predictions about when this is going to end. I will keep chugging along and keep pestering the VO and my MP when it seems appropriate. I don't know what else to do. We'll see if the GCMS notes say about this interview business. My...

A big problem with some cases like mine was that it got passed around to different officers and there was a lot of inactivity whilst it was being passed around. I know this as I could see it in the 3 sets of GCMS notes I ordered over the last 6 months. They finished doing RCMP checks...

So sorry to hear that your app is still "in progress". I share your frustration. I hope by getting those military records to the IRCC, they can wrap up your app soon, if this was the hold up. At least you could do something about it yourself, although why didn't they ask for these things...

Thanks for asking! There are some very nice people on this forum, of which you are one of them! I wish I could say that some miraculously joyous event happened with our app, but absolutely nothing has happened as usual. In fact anytime I have gotten information from this VO since May 26...

Hello all, I was wondering for those of you who applied under the new application package after December 7, 2016 and who have not gotten DM, have you taken any steps to try to expedite the processing of your applications? I realize that every case is individual and that some cases require...

I guess we should just forget about the 31 day rule ... it seems people from all immigration streams are ordering their notes more frequently. There seem to be people that order them every month now, because they can. We will be at one year in the processing mark in 10 days. I was hoping to...

You do not actually have to submit a declaration of common-law union anymore (I believe this is the case at least when we submitted our application). Yes, it does provide stronger evidence that you are committed to each other. Your start date of your common-law relationship is that date when...

Thanks so much! This is good to know!

Congrats on the arrival of your baby! :)

Anyone know if they ask you to resend your consent form again, do you go back to the bottom of the pile again and have to wait 31 days again until they send your notes? They gave me until February 9 to get the new consent form in.

EE is Express Entry PNP is Provincial Nominee program You can read about those programs on the IRCC website somewhere For Hotel managers I am not sure if he qualifies for any programs I too can't move away from Canada as my son is here and I don't have full custody of him, otherwise I would...

If you are planning to sponsor your partner/boyfriend under the family sponsorship route and don't or can't get married, you can sponsor him as your common-law partner if you can live with him for a minimal period of 1 year, consecutively. Otherwise, you need to get married, so you will have...

Congratulations! So happy for you!

This has not been the case for us. They extended our medical Results last May for another year before they even started our eligibility check. Some people said to me it was a good sign and that we should not have a long processing timeline. It is now almost 8 months later and still being...

Nope, today is day 32. I sent another email this morning and got an automated reply again saying they are receiving more than usual number of requests and because of this are not able to comply with completing requests in the stated timeframe. In September when my notes came late, (36 days)...

Hoping that these security checks come to an end for all of us soon. Maybe it's taking long time cause we went to 6 different countries in Western Europe one year, but only for a month ... how much damage do they think my partner could have caused there? Otherwise can't figure out why else it...

I can't see my MP's office as being one of those who would do much more than just email IRCC. Would it be of more use to try to call IRCC call centre myself? That too it seems is hit or miss in getting through to an agent who will maybe go out of their way to maybe flag your file. My main...
