..I recently ordered GCMS notes for TRV and Spousal Application

Today I received notes for TRV, but it also has my spousal application # under associated app.

my question is would I get another set of notes for my Spousal application? As I did do two application for GCMS and paid 10$ for two separate application

Moving on:

My GCMS is something like this

Eligibility Assessment: Recommend interview

Criminality- Passed-Bio

( does this mean criminality is cleared?)

Security (blank)

File sharing- Complete

Misrepresentation (blank)

Biometrics- Received NRT

also it means officer has concern about application and relationship.

( I applied for TRV to do family visit to see my spouse)

Do they do interviews for TRV?

another thing, when I asked about my visit visa application couple weeks ago they responded with pending officer review.

please any insight or someone with similar experiences share some insight??

So you made two ATIP requests and received one set of files?

Did the email explain to you which request the file was responsive to? It seems like you have the spousal application at the moment.

well, yes, because it's an associated application - any time you have an ongoing application, they are aware.

If that's what the covering letter says, you haven't got the GCMS notes for your spousal application. Only the TRV

I have never seen anyone with TRV application getting recommended interview. Have you seen any cases such as this

I thought its mostly refusal or approved in cases of TRV

It occasionally happens.

But without actually seeing your GCMS notes, no one here can tell you what they are in reference to.

Also helps to understand what country you are in to tell more.

Additionally, some statuses are set in error. If you see "recommended interview" but nowhere else in the notes is there a recommendation for an interview, it's either (a) security or criminality related, thus removed from the notes, or (b) an error in the status.

Again, it's not entirely clear if the notes are from the spousal application or the TRV application. It is possible, given the directions around COVID-19 and family reunification, that a relationship concern may lead to an interview for a TRV.

Well I mean the email does mention it is for temporary residence and correspondence with them only shows the inquiry I have made for TRV and responses they have given me for that particular application.
No activity or correspondence was shown in GCMS that mentioned the spousal application accept in associated application.

Just very odd that they have recommended interview for TRV and I am also stuck with no passport as I have submitted my original passport with my TRV application.

So because Canada is creating opportunities for spouses to be in Canada even when they may not have been allowed in, in the past, they have to be satisfied that you are genuinely the spouse of a Canadian. Given the public policies around COVID, it's not surprising that this may be happening.

What are the concerns raised in what must be your TRV notes then?

Because it should say something like:

"Having reviewed all documentation provided by the Applicant, I am of the opinion that the Applicant's relationship to NAME, spouse in Canada, may not be genuine given that the Applicant is actually purple reptilian kitten eater from outer space. Recommend interview."
