She ordered the electronic notes !!!

but as per your GCMS notes you mentioned before .. they have still to do alot of work and they did not start eligiblity and security which is strange ..
how they did not start all that since they have your case ..

Yes, that is the most curious part of the notes to me. That Criminality was completed first. Presume completion of Criminality was the result of receiving a complete set of PCCs. As for the Eligibility, perhaps they were waiting for all of the Schedule A Background Information, including our 18 year old?

Still curious what the difference between Security and Criminality is.

I applied for these notes by a paper application through the post on March 11. Only after I posted the request in the mail did I discover another set of instructions on the forum about the ability to apply electronically. Wish there was a single instruction post at the top of the forum with simple details on how to do it and instructions for each line on the form. I found only a scatter of references across dozens of posts. Seldom complete.

So I will submit electronically for a new set on the 1st of each month to watch for changes in the notes and some indication as to where we are at. I'm assuming given our family size, this is going to take a while to get through.

Thanks. Do you remember, when she applied?

hi evan ,
can you pls tell me how to get these notes ?

Instructions on how to order GCMS for your application
Two general methods:
1. Complete a paper form IMM5563E and mail it
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf

2. Submit a request on-line:
https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/

3. If someone else is applying, you must grant your consent for them to apply on your behalf using form IMM5744
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5744.asp

There are two different ways to request the notes, each are provided under separate provisions of Candian law:

Privacy Act- Requesting notes under this law is free but can be done only by someone physically present in Canada.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp

Access to Information Act (ATIA)- Requesting notes under this law is subject to a CA$5.00 application fee but can be applied for either inside or outside of Canada.

It is unclear to me whether someone can apply on your behalf under either of the two laws or only under ATIA.

Comments?

I just found this interesting post elsewhere on the forum. Very detailed information as to how the process proceeds:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/security-background-check-long-wait-after-medical-cec-t102642.0.html;msg1416955#msg1416955

From reading that post, it seems they don't begin the Security check until the Eligibility passes.
I still presume the Criminality passed based on the submitted PCCs.

Wonder what the criteria is for Eligibility to pass? It seems it is beyond the basic qualification criteria to apply.

I guess the reason it is taking so long for you is because CIC is/was waiting for a complete set of PCC's but you submitted in pieces, and reason for the "eligibility" thing the CIC is/was waiting for the Schedule "A" form of your 18 years old

If you are in Canada, file your request under the Privacy Act.
If you are outside Canada, file your request under the ATIA and pay CA$5.

Im in Canada and I ordered the Notes under Access to information Act... privacy act Is different.

If in Canada, I understand you can choose either Act. It's just that requests under Privacy Act are free.

The Access to Information Act gives every Canadian citizen, permanent resident, individual or corporation in Canada the right to request access to records that are under the control of federal government institutions, regardless of their format.

The purpose of the Privacy Act is to protect the privacy of individuals with respect to their personal information. This Act governs the federal government’s collection, retention, use and disclosure of that information. It also provides individuals with a right of access to their personal information.

Yes, this is possible. However, they received the remaining documents back in December. Do they really take this long to register them? But since the Criminality check shows "passed" it seemed to me that it wasn't the PCCs.

Waiting for the last Schedule A Background form seemed like the likely candidate reason why they have not completed the Eligibility- but even after receiving it in December???

I look forward to next month's peek at the notes.

Thanks.

Yea, maybe this month's gonna bring some good news because this really is too much of a waiting most applicants here are "in process" since December and in next 2/3 months their medicals gonna expire and CIC will have to call for the passport before that. I know of few applicants in the past who had to redo their medicals but the ratio is 5:50. I hope this month's gonna bring some positive update to all of us.
