Looking the other posts here for June 3rd, it would appear our GCMS requests are processed in batches
So mine came today and will review and reporting anything interesting.
Also received was a request for clarification. As mentioned before, our application is for 4 souls and two of us are adult dependents, 18-21 years old. They have previously indicated they did not intend to immigrate to Canada. But, as we all know, they must be included in our application nevertheless.
Absent any CIC directives in the instructions for the CIC application packet regarding immediate family members who do not intend to immigrate, what forms/fees to provide and what not to, the two young family members have completed their medicals anyway as well as their fees paid in the interest of moving our application along without delay.
This approach appears to have "bitten us in the ars" so to speak as they now request written clarification as to whether they will actually join us on arrival as we have indicated on the original application form "No" as to whether they will accompany.
So I will contact our two cheribs for this clarification. If they have changed their mind and want to join us, then CIC requests an updated General Application IMM0008.
So I suspect this will delay things another monthly cycle while I respond to CIC and then they will then review and continue processing.
Hopefully soon, we will at least see a "In Process" on the ECAS status page. It still says AR.
