Hello Guys,
It has been more than 6 weeks since I applied for PR but i haven't receive PER yet ? should I be concerned about it? My application status in eCAS is " In process"

Thanks

Same thing happened in my case. But I received PER before 6 weeks. I got PER after 4 days they updated my status in eCAS to "In Process". When did they update the status in ecAS? If it is long ago, you can email them to send PER. Sometimes they forget it or it might have hit your junk mailbox.

But I found they put the date in my GCMS exactly one year after my application submission. 20th June 2012 i have submitted the application and assessment date is 20th June 2013.

You are right. They put a date as the deadline which is one year after PER. However, the real assessment date may be different. For me, the assessment date on GCMS notes was May1, 2013 but my file was assessed on May 29 while I had update my work experience reference letter on May14.

My application arrive Sydney on April 19, 2013, charged on May 6. No further information since then. The online status is in process. Finger cross.

Have you not received PER email? You can email them as the timeline crossed 6 weeks.

This is interesting, I think Zorroo is unfortunate then, who knows I also could be (( although I updated my reference letter May24th but assesment due date is on June20th, way before the deadline. Really stressed these days

In my first GCMS notes that I got in April, my selection factor was not done yet. I ordered a new one on May 22, and will probably get it soon. I'll let you know once I receive it.

If your updated letter includes the lead statement and matches the NOC duties you are fine.
Don't be stressed
