A li'l update:

I just got our GCMS notes today, July 25 2012. I sent the request on June 26, 2012.

Doesn't really contain much except that I confirmed that they received my hubby's passport the day after he sent it. Eligibility, security and criminality assessment not started.

What's exciting is the last four pages under NOTES where you can see the "flow" of the process so far, and I'm also glad to see initial screening has been done even if ecas still says "appliaction received".
Also, GCMS were generated on June 28, so nice to know that there is a possibility that this is not the most updated status of our application.
Hello, I got our second GCMS today (not that it matters now ;D ) but I just want to share , might be useful info for some.

Since the last time I received the GCMS (generated 6/28) this time its generated 7/30, Eligibility, security and criminality assessment was not started still. Only thing I see that's new is it looks like the VO requested for copies of IMM1283 (financial eval form) and IMM1344A (SA & Undertaking) from CPC-M, and of course my first GCMS request was also indicated there.

That's it, no other update for 1 whole month, so it looks like whatever assessments they finished and whatever finalization they did on our application was done between July 31 to August 16 when the visa was issued (roughly 3 weeks). What I can conclude from this is that applications can just sit there for months (waiting for results of security check perhaps or the next bring forward date) but once they start working on it it just takes a few weeks to finalize.

Uy Xavier, musta?? hows life in Canada? Fully adjusted ka na ba? may work na? hehe.. dami mo na namiss, nasa FB group na kami halos lahat, dun na nagchchikahan.
Si Maksi, nakahide muna, baka kasi inactive na rin siya, ive been trying to contact her kasi for updates and parang wala na sya dito sa forum kasi di ko na masearch ung username nya if I try to PM her.
