Yes I did, I will get it soon. Though I think I am going to ask my MP. It won't hurt to ask them or should I just wait until i get my GCMS?

When did you apply for GCMS? If you are getting them soon, you can wait till you get them and then ask for an update from MP!

Got a response from MP today. It was transferred to Ottawa on July 7, 2012.

Same date as yours, sharuu.

They haven't started processing it yet though. Hopefully they will soon.

What is your ECAS Status? If we are in the same boat, as we are in the same group when our file reached Ottawa. Under your GCMS, is there GROUP NAME in the first page?

Even no progress, or no noticeable progress, for PNP applicants, no matter submitted in 2011 or early 2012, CIO never slows down to cash the checks and keep throwing out AOR/MR. The new backlog is building up quickly.

I agree... It's like the CIO stops processing an application once they've received the result of the medical exam.

There is nothing we can do than wait, unfortunately!

I think 2012 applicants are in a better place than us as they are mostly ahead of 2011 applicants in the queue.

Re: BUFFALO APPLICANTS - File transferred to other VO due to Buffalo closing dow

Is there anyone whose status changed to IN PROCESS after file being received at Ottawa and has requested GCMS Notes?

Did your ECAS change to IN PROCESS since the file was received at Ottawa?
