Also - we did get an update last friday that our uploaded documents were recieved. So maybe thats a good sign??

GCMS seems to suggest it was sent to London but didn’t receive any notification of it.
Our rep just sent us notification that it was sent to London on 21st January. My theory is that when we applied for GCMS notes (which was Jan 4th) someone had to take action on the file to forward them to us, realised that our application hadn’t been touched for 10 months and hence the sudden movement to local VO.

It can't entirely be ruled out, of course, but by most accounts the gcms notes is compiled by different teams just accessing the electronic filing system. So it's more likely it was just a coincidence.

(On the other hand it's nice to think there are humans involved who would notice so things, so if you prefer to think that, by all means)

You’re probably right, just seemed weird that nothing happened for 10 months and then right after we request notes suddenly transferred! I think you’re right and likely it wasn’t human intervention but either way maybe we’ll see some progress now.

Probably going to order notes again in a few weeks to check that things do appear to be moving forward.

Requesting the Gcms Notes does not affect the application process or the outcome in anyway. It's mere coincidence what you experienced, and any IRCC related activity would have happened whether the Gcms Notes were requested or not.

I’m sure you’re right, good to see things moving along either way.
