This is most absurd thing I have heard. Requesting GCMS is your right and just because you requested, it will slow the processing, why? The files are stored electronically, and what about those who see progress when they order GCMS.
Not sure who said this to you.

Hi guys,
I have a query for my friend, he has paper based application with IRCC and its been 08 months, by this time we were expecting medical, but meanwhile we received a letter saying that application is likely to be refused as visa officer isn't satisfied with the IELTS Score. Below is the IELTS result

Listening: 6.5
Reading: 3.5
Writing: 6.0
Speaking: 6.0

Please: He applied based on the nomination received from SINP (Saskatchewan PNP) on family economy program.

This letter is of 03 pages, the VO mentioned following points in 03 pages letter:
a. VO is not satisfied with the english competency, the candidate applied under the NOC of Lawyer advocate, and such profession requires high english level , e.g CLB 8.0
b. The above mentioned ielts score satisfies the requirement of family nominee program of province, however it is not enough to be able to contribute as potential candidate for the economy of canada.
c. I understand that you have family connection in the province to support you, however, they can't help you much in your professional life to stabilize with the complex legal preceding of a lawyer's job.
d. You've 90 days to submit any document to support your position, else you application is likely to be declined.

So, We left with 35 days more to reply them and thinking on following possibilities: Pls advise
a. we should submit them revised/improved ielts result, equal to CLB 7 or 8.
b. in worst case, on not succeeding in ielts, we can hire some solicitor in canada, as his brother is living there, and they can claim that ielts score meets the PNP requirement, therefore he got the nomination, or any other reason which a local canadian solicitor may assist in.
c. or we can submit a revised ielts, let see whether it gets accepted, in case it is failed, application will get declined, can we high lawyer at that stage?

Thanks for reading and your opinion.

Regards,
Abdul Qayyum

Hi @legalfalcon
On the CIC website, it says Proof of Access rights (work permit, resident card, etc) are optional when ordering GCMS notes.
If I'm ordering GCMS notes for someone other than myself, the only required doc needed is the Consent form. Is that right?

Thank you.

Yes, but these documents can be asked by IRCC. You need not submit them when you apply.

All applicants have 4 security screening. So you are not in the enhanced security screening. You will have another activity of security and then you should be cleared.

Hello, I have been waiting at IP2 since 25th July and have not got the PPR email yet. I ordered GCMS on 14th sept so expecting to receive them by end of next week. Can you please explain how do we know if we are in Security screening ?

That's news to me. Some people claimed the sub activity security screening is an indication of the csis cbsa long wait of more than 6 months.

Not for all applicants. Most applicants who answer yes to being ever employed by the government, or have some enhanced security, they will have this and their application are cleared within 6-8 months.

Only a few will get stuck in there.

Hello @legalfalcon

I received my GCMS notes and I have a similar question. From the above correspondence, what I understand is I am not in security screening (the long, dreadful one) but somehow my security screening requested in August and stalled at some point in the process.

Good to know! I had three security screening already. Hopefully my application will not go to the enhanced one.
