Currently there are delays in he processing and outland FSW / PNP applications are almost on hold with very little processing.

If your eligibility is review required, did you check what is the reason. If there is nothing specifically pointed out, then do not be concerned. As long as you have submitted your complete application and you meet the criteria, you will be fine.
My AOR is from April 17th, 2020 and my application is through EE with provincial nomination. I thought I was supposed to be under CEC? and I have not gotten my PR update until now, biometrics on October 1st, 2020 and not a single update so far. I ordered a GCMS note last week but it also has not arrived yet. how did you get this information that PNP and FSW are on delay?

Se page 1 for status. If it is open then your PPR has not been sent and you will have to wait. There are many applications in a similar state where all stages are passed, application approved, and pending a COPR / PPR.

Hi @legalfalcon , I recently git my gcms notes. On the page before and after the blank out pages have 16(2) (c). My eligibility is passed. Criminality is in progress and security has not started. Should I be worried about anything? It has been 26 months since I applied. My medical was extended In December 2020. My dependent criminality has been passed, and the info sharing for my dependent is also passed. My criminality has been stucked In process for a long time.
I need your response ASAP. Thanks.

Hello

I got my Copr on 15 March 2021 and cbsa notes on 16 march

i am bit confused about a situation it wont effect me now but information would be helpful to others

as per the online update my background verification was completed on OCT 20 2020 same day as I gave my biometrics , and PR Confirmed March 13 2021

but as per the gcms notes my criminality was passed pending biometrics on Sep 9 2020 and they opened my file again on Nov 20 2020 approved the application and on Nov 27 2020 they issued me COPR but few minutes later they differed my copr saying pending criminality( Gcms note generated Dec 8 2020)

Applied for CBSA again in Feb 2021 and on March 1 called Ircc call center they guy over the phone said he has requested for clarification his comments as per notes """ircc van note nov 27 2020 indicates that PA was landed by alternate measure , however we can see PA was not landed as copr not Confirmed can you please clarify"""
( Cbsa Notes generated March 8)

Hello @leagalfalcon can you please declutter this information why are they posting date in online account when they didn't finish background verification or the dates are for the namesake

Hi @legalfalcon

More score at ITA was 493 (cutoff score was 475).
When I submitted my application my birthday had passed so I lost 5 points but I gained 48 points cause I added the French test results as a second language so my score at e-APR was 536.
Would my age changing between ITA & e-APR in this case be an issue?

Guys need help. @legalfalcon as I just received 90 days extension for my GCMS notes ordered last month from getgcms.com. I am trying to understand why am I receiving this extension:

1, Could it be because my security is in process? Or it’s just pure bad luck ?

2, Let’s say when I do receive my GCMS notes 3 months later. The date when the notes will be captured would still be February (a few days after the date I initially ordered) or a way later capture date, say late April or even May?

Thank you very much for your input! Cheers!

Most request filed with IRCC have been receiving extensions. This has nothing to dow with the processing of your application as such. All you can do is wait or request your GCMS notes from CBSA and hope that CBSA does not seek an extension. See https://bit.ly/38O9ysd

As per IRCC's 2019-2020 report 49% of all requests filed were delayed and 6% took longer than 120 days to be released.

The GCMS notes are generated a few days after the request is filed, so even if there is an extension and you receive the GCMS notes 3 months later, it will have the information when your request for GCMS notes was filed.

Thank you Legalfalcon!

So I’ll have to wait for 4 months just to receive a 4 months old set of notes.

What’s the sense here? IRCC is a joke.

The extension does not mean it will take the entire 120 days. It can be released anytime from now until the extension runs out.
