I just got the GCMS notes...some of the sections are withheld :(
Can you tell under what section have they been withheld.

I have seen two major reasons. First, when there is information from a foreign government, and second, when there is an ongoing investigation. If you tell me under what section has the information been withheld, I can let you know what may be happening.

Crazy, Manila VO has already given PPRs to paper-based applicants who sent theirs to CIO in December. :(

Thank you Legalfalcon for still helping. Really appreciate.

The withheld sections are within incoming documents. And that too entry 10, 11, 12; so not new docs.
I am not sure what is happening.

Smaller LVOs have limited resources. I am sure things will work out for you. Have you applied for another set of GCMS?

If you would like I have loo into your notes, but I will need a copy. If you are fine, you can email them and I will get back to you.

They didn't tell me the reason of delay or any time line. My case was simple but still waiting. I never heared such a long delay of seven weeks
I hope you raised a CSE to let them know that your already submitted the passport on 25th March, after receiving the reminder to submit your passport.

Manila VO can't possibly be a small VO as they usually process Express Entry and paper-based PNP applications in 3-4 months. They're also one of the faster VOs to process TRVs (I got PPR for TRV after applying last week). Why JustCanada and I are the exception, I don't know, maybe we got stuck with our security checks somehow.
