Express Entry - e-APR Submitted in November 2016

[rd160309]

Hi Raj and other group members,

medicals passed after a loooong wait. As I posted earlier now they required RCMP fingerprints for my wife.
The status is as follows:
Application/profile status Open
Review of eligibility Review in Progress
Review of medical results Passed
Review of submitted documents We need an additional document from the applicant
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
A background check is needed In Progress
Final decision Not Started

My case is exactly the same. And my question is also the same.

Is there any other November 24 candidate left (CEC/Inland) to get the 1st update (Med/etc)? May be I am the only one

 

[rd160309]

Is it $5? I chose the Privacy Act, and it didn't ask for any payment.

I think when you want to see the updates and officers notes on your applications, then you have to choose the other option. If you just need to see your information (your communication with IRCC), then you choose Privacy act. It is clearly written on the website when you proceed to order notes.

I am sure you will see an update. I did not get any email. Just check your profile after some time.

Crap, I'm going to put a new order in then. It's only $5 anyways.

why do they require your wife to submit an RCMP report ?

has she been living in Canada ?

But then again, IRCC can conduct their own background check.

Did you receive emails about your updates? or need to check MYCIC? I am still waiting for first update

No update mail for medical pass or other status change, I just checked my application.
Only for additional docs I received email.

Guys, has anyone of you ordered the GCMS notes? I don't think the 3 months rule actually true all the time, as depends on each application, we will have different timeline. I think we can order the notes one or two weeks after the Background checks changed to In Progress. Plus, it's free so why not? I just ordered mine 30 mins ago.

I think it is 5$ if a Canadian Citizen orders and more if anyone from outside does (not sure how much), if my understanding is wrong than please post the link on the forum as well, everyone would like to take benefit by getting free GCMS notes

I just ordered GCMS notes after about 2 months. It is $5 for people living in Canada.

You CAN order it under the PRIVACY ACT for no cost!!

If you are ordering for yourself AND you are in Canada, then you order it under the Privacy Act and it is free of cost.

If someone else (friend/relative) is ordering it for you from Canada, then they have to order under the Access to Information act and it costs CAD 5.

If you go through an agency, it costs anywhere between CAD 25 to CAD 40.
