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

[andyding13]

From the two times I ordered I noticed that the notes are generated 15-20 days after your request reaches them. And it takes another 10-15 days to get to you.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You’re welcome.

And to answer your other question. I’d suggest order your first notes roughly 3 weeks after your AOR. And if you plan to order additional notes order them Atleast 10-15 days after you receive your first one.

May I ask why 3 weeks after AOR? Is it because that this date is near MEP?
Also, may I ask what's the rationale for waiting 10-15 days? Can I have more than one GCMS request in processing? For example, if I order the 1st set on day 1 and the 2nd set on day 20.

Thanks again.

The GCMS process is entirely different from your file. When you order your notes through GET GCMS, your GCMS notes are released to GET GCMS and they transmit it to you at the email you provided. It has no bearing on your application and there is no communication between your rep and IRCC. This is also a way to make sure that your representative is doing his/her job and giving your the right info.

Oh, thank you so much for your prompt reply!

May I ask when will the GCMS note be generated after submitting a GCMS request? On the same day? Several days later? Or close to the 30-day deadline? Thanks!

Also, when do you recommend ordering GCMS notes? Right after MEP? In NA2? If I would like to order multiple sets of notes, when will be the appropriate times?

The first set of notes should be ordered 30-45 post AoR. That will help you know what stage your application is. The notes are generated 15-20 days after the request is placed. To see the stages of an application, see https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

The NA, IP is just speculation and has no bearing on what stage the application is.

#0-25 days post AoR, your R10 and maybe medicals are passed. Before that you may not see anything and the whole process may just go waste.

You can definitely have more than 1 application request processing, but it does not make sense. GCMS is to track your application. So when you receive the notes, see what has happened, and then if needed order another set.

The first notes should be ordered 30-45 days post AoR. Based on what stage your application is and what all has passed, you can order more sets.

since my aor2 and meds are passed my bgc is already in process as well do u think it is a good time to request gcms? what should i see there by then? just requested gcms yesterday.

If your eligibility is passed or not, that is the main concern. In most cases, only after eligibility is the BGC starts. So it will help you know if your application is stuck in eligibility or somewhere else.

eligibility is in process as well... hmm would there be changes after 30 days? just wondering if the gcms i ordered would indicate anything this early.

Hey @legalfalcon. How you doing?

I need to clarify something.

My last gcms notes were raised on 1st September. It mentions “letter sent and print queue changed to Delhi” on the 9th of August. And “Secondary office assigned Delhi” on 11th of August. And nothing after that. So shouldn’t Delhi be sending me an email after they’ve been assigned my case? And hence there should be an activity after the 11th. But, there isn’t any. 11th August is the last activity.

I called them again yesterday to clear the confusion. He said Ottawa had instructed Delhi to send the email. They don’t know whether or not delhi has sent it. He said when I called last week they had asked Delhi for clarification but haven’t received a response. They have 30 days to respond. Asked me to call back after 15 days.

My last notes were generated on 1st September. If Delhi had sent me the email before the 1st of September would it be mentioned in the notes?

Hi @legalfalcon
That`s a commend that I often see around the threads. Does it mean that if eligibility is "passed"(along with Med and Criminality) by an officer we can have some peace of mind because the chances of refusal after that at BGC(Security) gets significantly lower than before?
Thanks once again!

Eligibility is the most important stage. This is where your program requirements are matched, NOC checked, reference letters are checked and if you clear this, you are out of the woods!
