Well congratulations. Really happy for you and your family. We actually applied February 9 2016 as well but our São Paulo VO is taking a little longer processing.

Enjoy your life in Canada - all the very best

Kind regards,
John (Toronto)

Hi Minnie

Hope your well. We expect to hear from São Paulo VO by late Sept early Oct. We fully expect my wife to have landed in Toronto by November at the latest as that places us at 9 months processing. I'm waiting to receive our second set of GCMS notes too.

Think you applied around the same time right? Hang in there be positive and this whole process will have a happy ending for all of us.
Cheers,
John (Toronto)

We actually haven't heard a thing from our VO at all - as in zero communication. It's a little frustrating but apparently no news is good news lol

Have you ordered GCMS notes?

No, but I did email them some time back asking about any missing document. They replied by saying they would contact us should anything be missing from the application. They also said not to contact them until the end of september. I sbmitted new PCC's in June. I just find it hard to accept that they have had those PCC's since then and still no change on ECAS or on MyCic....reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy frustrating

I would definitely order GCMS notes as soon as possible if I were you. You will have a clear understanding as to where your file is in the process. Your notes will contain some valuable information on the last page with notes from the VO regarding their thoughts on your file and commenting on how they feel about your marriage being genuine etc. You'll definitely be able to see that they received your PPC's - when and the dates your file will be looked at again. Most likely at this stage your security/criminality will show 'not started' but that's normal until those are completed anyway. Eligibility comments as well .... just think about it.

So your in Brazil? my wife is in downtown Sao Paulo - where in Canada will you be living?

Hey JJ 628, You were supposed to get your GCMS notes on 2nd Sept, did you get? And what additional info did you get in there which can help us understand how the process works? Like is it really that you asking those notes helped, and if they had already started to process the file while waiting for the PCCs.
Thanks.

Hi All I was going to apply for GCMS notes and I have a confusion.
I am the sponsor in Canada and my spouse being sponsored is outside of Canada and does not have PR of course.
So, in section A of the form 5744 i should fill in my spouse's details? Section B i leave blank. Section C, i think is for me as I would receive the information and am the one being authorized, but won't it make me fill out the use of representative form too?
Or long story short, please explain the process:( i searched on this forum and on net but could not find a suitable article.

Yes your correct - in section C simply leave out the representative portion - leave it blank. I left it blanks and received notes without any issues. Good luck

Strange because lately many requests are delayed due to the lack of a signature that doesn't necessary means a representative as a lawyer or immigration consultant but the sponsor who asks for the notes.
I signed my form as sponsor and it was fine. So I am not sure whether depends on the person who works on your request or it's random selection which makes no sense.

Don't worry, it means just a very late update by CIC. My ecas says exact same thing, it was in progress yesterday, today - decision made which was taken 5 months ago.

Hey truthprev, we haven't received them. I guess that they thought we wouldn't need them after we received PPR.
I really doubt that they will send it, I'll let you know if they do.
Sorry I wasn't able to give you any feedback to our notes.
