You don't have to send anything to CHC-Islamabad, for stage 1 you have to send your file to CIC-Mississagua

GCMS = "Global Case Management System". (Allows you to acess your personal file and see what kind of work has been done by visa officers)

AOR = Acknowledgement of Receipt (Since ottawa came in the picture, many people didn't get AOR)

Best time to request them would probably around 12-14 months of application filed. Basic information is included in them. (what has been completed what has yet to be completed ex: background checks, medicals, thoughts)

Wasn't there a whole debate that if one received an email from Mississauga about file being transferred to ISB, then indeed it was in ISB otherwise if email was from OTT then regardless of them stating file being transferred to ISB, it was still transferred to OTT.

Please clarify.

Thanks.

In AOR they indicate which office to contact if there is a need (email, address and fax) so that is how you can where you file went, no matter what they say in text

That is incorrect, When I got my stage 1 approval, they stated to contact ISB for any furthur questions. When I did, I got a reply my file isn't in ISB. Confused, i went back to cic to find out about Ottawa. AOR said ISB in reality was CPP-O.
