Now if I look back, I think it makes more sense that it depends on which category you are. If you are FSW outland which usually have their applications moves faster than CEC/FSW/PNP inland, you can try order it after 2-3 weeks or a month from AOR. If you are CEC/PNP inland, I would suggest wait at least till the 6th week of your application or when you back ground status changed from not start/in progress back to not needed at this time assume it doesn't get stuck forever. Otherwise you won't be able to find many information that is truly helpful to understand the progress and status of your application if you order it too soon.
If u r in Canada, feel free to order it whenever you want, since it's free and you don't need a third party to get it for you, but u will know what I mean when you get it.

Have you received yours?
There's really not much useful information or notes showing up on mine. I'd order it again when my application is 6 - 8 weeks old.

Each minor to minor activity in ur application gets recorded in GCMS notes and you can order one to see progress in your application.

If you have friend/relative in Canada you can have there details and order GCMS. Alternatively there are 3rd party organizations in Canada who offer there service to order GCMS on your behalf, off-course with extra charge.

It's because my foreign PCC did not cover up to the last day of my stay in that country, I was fooled by the agent who handled my PCC request and did not even realize the problem since I moved to Canada on 2008 but had lots of short term travels afterwords (like 2 - 3 weeks each). Anyhow learned from it and got the correct one 2nd time.

I am sorry about that. Did you say you only went back for visits and not live there? My spouse had a similar issue, I almost wanted to ignore my instincts and just use the old PCC, but we applied for a new FBI report and included that we have applied for a new one but still attached the old one, since we were not sure if it was still valid. Yesterday, I got a request for an updated FBI. I think CIC should change the PCC rules to the last you visited the country and not last time lived. To live in is different from visiting. Thanks for sharing, best wishes!

Same boat here. My first PR app was rejected due to FBI PCC out of date (it was issued in May but I stayed in USA till August in 2012).
