Today I have ordered GCMS notes on the getgcms site.
Hope that I would have some update on my application.
My only concern is that order could slow down my application.

Nothing else just this word in the text field of most latest note. Text says " case on hold "
And type is redacted with s15.1
I have explained s15 on the first page of the thread, check it. IRCC is waiting for some documents or verification and your file has been put on hold. It could be an information from a partner country like UK, US, or Australia, or a PCC, or a verification of a document your submitted. In some cases, if you have has prior immigration or criminal cases in other countries, IRCC will enquire into that too.

is it worth ordering these if my partner is waiting for a second x-ray to be complete?
Ordering is a personal choice, if you think it will help you, you should. No once can predict your application without knowing the details.

Ordering gCMS does not slow down the processing of your application, on the contrary in some cases people have seen that stuck application have moved. AITP requests are handled by AITP staff, which is different from IRCC, and it has no impact on the processing of your application.

As per IRCC:

All family members must be examined as part of the e-APR, whether they are accompanying the principal applicant or not. Family members can be added to the application at any time during the process, including after the visa is issued, but prior to obtaining permanent resident status. Applicants are instructed to inform IRCC immediately if their family composition has changed (e.g., birth of a child, marriage, divorce).

Pursuant to subsection R4(1), the principal applicant may not include a spouse or common-law partner in their application if their relationship was entered into primarily to acquire any status or privilege under the Act or is not genuine. Similarly, in accordance with subsection R4(2), the principal applicant may not include an adopted child in their application if the adoption was entered into primarily to obtain any status or privilege under the Act or if it did not create a genuine parent–child relationship.

Section A11.2 does not apply when an applicant adds a family member to their application after the e-APR; however, the family member will have to be assessed, and the principal applicant must provide IRCC with the Additional Family Information form [IMM 5406 (PDF, 570.00 KB)] and pay the applicable fees online.

<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp>

You have to send your passport within the stipulated time and will have to land before your vis expires. However, if you can obtain the documents before you land, you can add your spouse to your application, which will take some time.

Before you can add your spouse, you will need the following documents:

1. PCC from from the country of residence
2. PCC from all countries where she stayed for 6 or more months cumulative or at a stretch.
3. Marriage Certificate
4. Scanned Copy of All Pages of Passport
5. Medical Exam Report.
6. Updated Proof of Funds to be adequate for two people.
7. Additional Family Information form IMM 5406 (PDF, 570.00 KB)

You should get these documents ready ASAP. Only after your marriage, can you add your spouse to your file.

No i dnt think so they are waiting for any thing except it can be result of security screening because some details of security screening show they have not sent anything to partners
Perhaps they put on hold to wait for security screening results

Hi,

I received my updated GCMS notes today. My eligibility was previously "Passed" in my March 207 GCMS notes.
But in my current GCMS notes 11.2 EE MI has been cancelled as of May 2017 and now by eligibility is marked as "Review Required".

Does anyone know what cause 11.2 EE MI to be cancelled and restarted?
