We finally received our notes and honestly it's a relief to know what's happening with the file. I would highly recommend if you haven't ordered the GCMS notes. I was hoping someone could help me in interpreting some things though. Under assessment it says eligibility is in progress and security and criminality has not started. I read somewhere else on here that even though it says not started they have actually started it. Is that true? Secondly under application assignment, it has a due date of 08/18/2017 which is today. What does that mean?

I just recently ordered my notes too. Nothing had started on our file, but some people were nice enough to help us understand them. The things you wanna look for is the info on the first page. Update date is the last update on your file. Group # if blank then awesome if not it is possible you may be requested to come in for an interview. The Notes section on the last couple of pages are also very important. From the notes of the officer you can get a good idea of how they perceive your relationship to be (genuine or not etc). Check out the due dates assigned to Eligibility, criminality, and security. This just gives you an idea of what their internal deadlines are, they are not set in stone and work can be wrapped up before these due dates so not to worry.
Yes even though security and criminality appear to not have been started, the truth is they don't write anything there, so they might be happening simultaneously. It sounds very promising what you have described, so all the best
