February 2014 PNP applicant that already submitted their application to NS CIO

GCMS Notes is just a 'system' print. You have the right under the Privacy Act of requesting your information as many times as you want.

The $5 is just a processing fee.

GCMS notes is not a service provided by CIC, it's just your information and you have the right of having it.

Absolutely. I ordered mine once again last week. If you check Privacy Act, you don't even have to pay 5 bucks.

you are asking the question in worst place since we are waiting to do that in last 2~3 months lol. just kidding

to your question, yes it's correct applicants who are from visa exempt countries only have to send copy of passport not actual passport.
and once they check everything they send you a document called "COPR (confirmation of permanent residency, I believe)"

and then we go boarder to land with that document. When the officer confirms that document, and then we are finally done..

Thanks for the info and good luck to all you guys. I really want every Feb-Mar-Apr applicant to get PPR as soon as possible so we (May applicants) can start moving too. . I try to read everything and follow up and no to get too anxious...

To add to what Diaboluce said,
There has been couple of incidences where CIC requested Passport for applicants from visa exempt countries instead of requesting "copy of passport" and sending them direct COPRs. Having said that in most cases they requested only copy of passport.

Thanks for the info

Hi Japy77
As much as i feel your pain, the safe bet for you is to not do anything. If you do not want to complicate your application any further, you might as well just wait. Although CIC is very unpredictable, it is high time now and if you are feb applicant there are high chances that you might be getting your PPR anytime now. So, although it is very sad that there is a chance that you might not be able to make it to the wedding, i would say just wait and watch. Stay put. You might get your PPR by Jan and who knows you might be flying back in a short notice and you would still make it to the wedding. Just saying. Of course the decision is yours. If you really want to apply for multiple entry, apply after this week. They will return your passport in 2 weeks anyways and even if you get PPR you will still have 30days - 2weeks to turn in your passport. Good Luck!!!!

Thanks for reply prprpr
Problem is that my file was recieved in march ie 24 march and in process since 16 October. What should I do now. Thanks for help

hello friends,

does anyone know, if CIC sends out an email to applicants once their status changes? Waiting for DM and was wandering if I should check every 5 minutes or just wait for an email...

Thanks!

ok it makes sense, and if my status changes before the passport request email?

 

[Diaboluce]

it actually doesn't matter,if you see DM first, then you will wait PPR.
nobody knows when the PPR comes whether you have DM or not
some people wait for PPR for a month after they see DM on ECAS and some people directly gets PPR without DM.

so once you get into IP, what matters is PPR not DM..
Some people even jumped to PPR even without IP
