Hi Everyone,

Today I received my GCMS note and based on it, nothing but criminality check is started on my file. After 32 months, this is the most disappointing news I could ever receive. The file is transferred on 2012/5/16 to CPP and since then nothing has been done on it.

I was wondering if more experienced users of this forum could give me some tips. My MP is less than useful as she always checks and tells me that it is in progress.

Thanks

Hi there,

Same story here bro!
MP is useless, and we cannot do a damn thing about anything.
Soooo frustrating. :(
Anyways, let's keep our fingers crossed. ;)

Thank you very much Wolvy for your reply.
I have already sold some stocks and am arranging to bring the fund to the US so I have no problem on that. But my trasactions shows that my previous proof of funds has been taken out of my account within 3-10 days in a big chunk (one 9000 in three days and one 9000 in 10 days). Do you think that I have to explain it or they only need to know that this time I have fix amount of settlement fund?

That does look a little strange that you would completely withdraw the money in a little over a week that you would intending to use as settlement funds. You may try to explain it and hopefully it will be ok, but I'm not sure.
 
my two cents.....just a suggestion.....try at your own expense... but I have seen people use it for mortgages etc...

Show everything as it is. For withdrawal add a reference letter saying the money was loaned in cash to friend/relative. Get a check from that friend/relative and deposit to your account. Attach a copy of check/highlight that transaction.

If you have other accounts in your home country that show in your name the required funds than that should work. You could also show, if you have it, the sale of property or other goods in order to get the required funds with documentation. If not then it may cause a problem as you're supposed to have the required funds at your landing. But it was a risk to use your settlement funds as you'll need them for expenses when you're settling into your new life. Good luck.

Hi waterton,

I guess criminality checking is the first and most important background checking. And I hope as CIC is working at a faster rate now a days it will complete your case soon.

I am planning to apply for GCMS notes this week. I have never done this before. In fact, I am researching the method of applying for GCMS notes through this forum. I have found couple of discussions on it.

Would you like to tell the way you followed for applying for the GCMS notes?

Thanks

Hello,

The easiest way to apply for GCMS is through the online website.
You can use the following link:
https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/
It takes one month to receive it. They will send you a PDF file via email.

Good luck.

Hi Mashaikh,
Thanks for your suggestion. I will think about this possible option. The thing is that I have evidence that I own the money but these two transactions have screwed up everything. I did not want to have large balance more than few days in my bank account, also, I did rush to resubmit the documents and created this mess in my history.

HOW ABOUT: close this account and use my the other account which is the original account that initially I submitted to CIC in 2010. Any thoughts?

Hi again Mshaikh, now I am putting thing together and I really like your idea. That was really helpful. Thanks,

Why would you know want to have a large balance in your bank account? I would be very careful in trying to create a money trail in order to satifsy CIC, if it's not the way that it happen, then you're walking into fraud and misrepresentation territory if you are caught. Honesty is the best policy, if you truly don't want to have a large balance and took out the money (and still have it) then just detail that. But it appears to be borrowed money when you put it in then withdraw it soon after showing POF. Good luck

Thanks Wolvy! You are right! It s hard for me to see myself in fraud territory while I own the money. I am going to explain in details to CIC and tell them the rationals behind my withdrawal. I have drafted several letters and tried not to explain the details but there is no other way.

hi honpredictable,

Congratulations.

Your are FSW2. In your bottom line you mentioned about FSW1 and CEC. I was wondering what would be your application category for which you got the documents request.

As I am not very expert in this area, I am really sorry if I am bothering you.

Thanks.
