ALL ABOUT GCMS - HOW TO ORDER, READ, & GENERAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED

[Alex Z]

good day,

Please what is your timeline? have you been issued PR? My GCMS notes is exactly same comments as yours

I don't remember the timeline but we received 'ready for visa' emails withing general processing time of 6 months since submission.

I got my GCMS notes today, and it says:
"Criminality: Passed - Bio"

Does this mean criminality is done for good, or is it one of those "fake" passes?

Hi @legalfalcon Thank you so much for answering questions here. You have been really kind and helpful.
I recently received my 1st of notes and under the INFO SHARING section, there are info about fingerprints shared with countries like Australia, New Zealand and USA. The part concerning USA is a bit confusing. Could you kindly help me out with it?

For the biographic part, the status is NRT. But for the biometric part, the status is "Ready to be assessed" and "Complete-not reviewed".
I see some people saying they have the same status because they were once refused a visa from USA, but I was never rejected and got my tourist visa on my first try. So, I'm worried if there is any error? What does this status in the USA section really mean? Thank you for your help.

Will like to order and so far have not seen any one on AIPP

When you request general gcms under ATIP all the details of PNP are added in those notes.

Hi, I have few questions. My case was totally fine until I got landing interview. Our ID address were not matching and I didn’t bring any proof of cohabitation. Then I got sent home, received Procedural Fairness Letter, replied, and got file transferred to Etobicoke ( it was in Mississauga). So:
1. In the part Application (the very first page) it said Interview Lang: Vietnamese and Interpreter required: Yes
-> Does that mean I will have relationship interview?
2. Correspondence: Out going then a blank page “ Page 7 is withheld pursuant to section 29 of the privacy Act”
-> what does that mean.
3. In one Note (after my landing interview failed) says: A file transfer is necessary. File will be transferred to CIC. Final case decision: File transfer required.
-> my file was transferred to etobicoke ( Primary office is Etobicoke and Secondary is Mississauga). Does that mean I will highly be interviewed?
4. Will the note come from mail have more info than from email?
5. I just sent in more proof of cohabitation. Should I order another GCMS note? I want to know if I will have relationship interview or what is happening with my case.
Thank you.

Hello,
I have applied for citizenship in 2017, I have recently ordered GCMS and under the notes section I see that the officer mentioned a note saying “the status have been manually updated to under review as the GCMS glitch prevented the clearance from passing in the system as per the information from partners “

I am trying to understand what this actually means, I am done with my citizenship test last year 2018 and since then the status is in process.

Really appreciate an expert opinion.
Thanks

It is contextual and means exactly what it said. Seems like the officer could not update the status, so did it manually.

No need to be concerned.

You will receive a confirmation of filing and then you will have to wait.

Ready to be assessed and "Complete-not reviewed" simply means that that your information is available and has to be reviewed by an officer to see if you have anything in the system with the US authorities. It has noting to do with visa rejections.
