How long did it take to get the CBSA note and did you order it yourself or through representative? I ordered mine as well.
Then what does it say?

I see, have you tried ordering CSIS notes? maybe that will have some information.

Did you receive your CBSA notes on paper or CD?

Got DM about a week and a half ago, called yesterday to follow up and received an answer that application was indeed approved and I'm just waiting on invitation for PR interview; basically to receive the PR. Took a while but worth the wait . Goodluck to everyone!

I called CIC last week and spoke to a very sincere rep. Surprising, as many of those people with CIC seem to be unfeeling and robotic.
She said that she deals with calls everyday like ours and while some people are very fortunate to get there PR within 12 months, they still see many many applications taking 18 months to process. She says its much more common than we think.
wasn't happy news, but it was positive to hear others are in the same boat and its not because there is something necessarily wrong.

If u keep calling us this is going to be the reason of your file delays.

We applied 4 June 2018 (full timeline in signature). After IRCC cancelled an interview in July, we were again summoned to attend a relationship interview on 13 Sept 2019. The interview went smoothly, although we were there for almost 4 hours. At the end, the officer suggested that there were no issues, but of course we have to wait for a formal letter.

I asked about the status of the other parts of the process (since as far as our GCMS notes indicated, nothing has started). The officer indicated that they no longer do any of the other processing if there is any reason to suspect the relationship. So, now, after almost 15 months, they will *start* the background and security checks. She seemed to hint that we might have to re-do some of the security documentation.

As an aside, after receiving an essentially empty GCMS report in July (ordered on the 1 year anniversary of the application), we ordered a second report on July 16, but have not received a response after two months. Based on my conversation with the agent, there doesn't seem to be much point in pressing for it.

If any of the "seniors" are reading this, it no longer seems like "order your GCMS notes" is useful advice for people receiving interview requests. If what has happened in our case is typical, the file will contain no information, if you even get a response.

Thank you for your update. I hope everything speeds up for you guys now. If you don't mind me asking, what was it that you believe gave them the notion that your relationship could be suspect? We are approaching 15 months now and haven't heard anything since SA in Feb. We are a married couple whom have always cohabited, no time apart since 2017 and are wondering what the heydey is going on.
