idk the activity #. I'm guessing they divide their tasks and instead of naming them, they give a # to it, so its hard for people to decode.

This could be true. Because they review timelines on quarterly basis and not on month to month basis.

We should see the change once Q4 of 2013 is reviewed. I am pretty sure the numbers will change because since September I have seen a surge in processing.

Timeline goes down according to accepted/completed cases. Since sept 1 we saw progression, but not many completion. If it goes down maybe to 30...

Hi there, I got this from a senior member it will help you to read your notes
Breakdown/Guide of GMCS NOTES BY Hubby CHubby

Application section

1) Look at primary office should Islamabad
2) Secondary should be Ottawa (or any other they may have asked help for)
3) Is file number correct? (check for match)
4) *App status* (open/closed)?
5) *App status* (in progress/not started)?
6) Catergory (should be FC1) for spouse sponser. For sub-category (group name {Doc-1-12J7Ti9}
7) Check payments (Complete/incomplete)?
8 ) Check applicant details (Name, DOB, visa potentials)?
9) For Quebec applicants check CSQ (correct file number)??

Sponser details

1) SPR Eligibility (Passed/failed) {Is sponsor even allowed to sponsor??}

Assessment

1) Eligibility (Not started/In progress/passed). {Usually updated after remed}
2) Security/Criminality (Not started/In progress/passed) (Usually after remed or ppr)
3)Medical (expired/passed/failed)

Client details

1) Check Name/ Gender of applicant, DOB (Correct?)
2) Check passport #, NOC #, Tele #, Email, Address (should be correct, ecas in not reliable)

Clients details 2

*Check samething for sponser(Don't worry to much about this rather worry about applicant)

Eligibilty/Criminiality/Security

Under this section, You will see your file being passed on to different officers (ex LM0435 to SM4232) *Look for due date? Good hint regarding when they will open file*

Medical

*Just check Description? (No surveillance required/ Review required).
*By the end should have 2 medicals submitted. (Unless you get visa withing a year)

Correspondence

Outgoing
*This is what they are sending you. (remed, ppr, imm forms request via email or tcs)

Incoming
*This what they have received from you. (If you sent a doc (pcc) check under this section if they have received it)

Attachments

*Bunch of stuff (pics/skype logs/phone calls/docs) that have been scanned and sent to Islamabad via Ottawa or Mississauga.

Fees/payements

*Hopefully they are completely paid Cause they will ask you for sure

Group

Everyone has a group. (I learned this in my third gmcs notes) wasn't shown before. (DOC/1-12JGTC2 group name)

History/Paper file

*Basically, whats being going on in your file. (collecting dust in Islamabad)
*Look for app status? Is it in progress?
*Location?

NOTES!!!!!

This is a BIGGY. This is where you will find out about interview queue (yes or no). This is where they talk to each other (Visa officers). This where they decided if your marriage is genuine. I will give you my example:


FC (spousal case) review. (File number). CSQ info is in file. No adverse info found. ID verified, photocopied. FN's (applicants) first name is ---- DOB is ----. Sponser is ----DOB is----. Sponser is Canadian by birth. Employment history is ----. First marriage for FN and sponsor, Married on ---. Marriage certificate is legal (nikkah nama). Sponser was present at wedding. Both lived together in pak. SPR went back --- (date) Marriage appears genuine. police report issued. Fees paid. Medical passed. Pictures are positive and good. Post wedding picture are positive and post wedding support is positive. Skype logs fb chat logs positive. Case OK. Relationship OK.

SEND FN (applicant) Remed, repcc, Imm forms......

Upon receiving docs forward file to SM09878

SM reviewing file. File reviewed forward file to DOC. (group name?)


GMCS NOTES are all about the final section as you can see.


Good luck and make dua for me....

I need to ask a question to Alberta residents:
I expect our application to be completed in 6 months or so. What does my hubby need to bring from Pakistan, to get a driver's license here easily and fast. Any tips shared would be greatly appreciated.
I thing ppl are mixing the international license and pakistani local license with each other. I just came to calgary three months back. You need international license to drive the car for 90 days after arrival and second thing pakistani license which need verification from Vancouver embassy and submitted to registry for exemption of 1 year learner period of GDL class 7 and 2 year of probationer period of GDL class 5. The older the license more will be chances to get exemption and good deal for insurance per month. If he can give insurance letter showing that his record was good in paksitan this will further decrease his car insurance cost per month.

I hope i have tried my best to answer ur question

Insha Allah u will get in january, Toronto insha Allah
Tcs guys has no concerned with this as they wait for chc to call them for pickup when their is no shipment for pickup. In my opinion Canadian officer are on holiday just pakistani staff are working.

What is ur suggestion sis for best palace to live with family in canada?
You should consider multiple factors not just the family/cost of living factor. One of the biggest distressing factor for new immigrants is the delay in getting back to the profession in which they have worked all their lives in their home country. Ontario and BC may be the ideal places to settle in terms of family/cost of living/Networking (Ontario) and weather (BC) but the unemployment ratio in both provinces is very high and more and more people are moving from Ontario and BC to Alberta in search of job opportunities. The Alberta weather may be harsh but once you stay here for a little longer, you get used to it and summer is generally better and dryer than BC.

So my advise would be to do more research before deciding to move to any of the province
