Hi @caipsnotes

Once we pay the GCMS fee on getgcms.com website, do they send us a pre-filled form that you need to sign?

It looks like this getgcms.com and related websites are essentially a scam. They charge you $20 or more (basic option), and then turn around and file a free online request to IRCC.

If you are present in Canada, you can order these notes yourself at this link: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/.

If not, you can have a friend fill out the IRCC ATIP Consent Form and do the same. (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...acy/forms/request-5744/new-constent-form.html).

Service Canada is calling those who have been waiting the longest to give their biometrics, based on

the date their application was submitted to us
where they live
If you’re in a region where there are a lot of people waiting to give their biometrics, like the Greater Toronto Area, it may take longer for Service Canada to call you. They will contact you as soon as they can.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I didn't notice any updates yet since I applied so I guess it is still untouched.

HI, any one who got approval status in IP1 or IP2 is showing the progress bar in their IRCC profile?

I know these used to be the case in 2019, not sure it is showing up, mine for some reason not moved past

I sent my employer my AOR and submission letter for BOWP along with a link to IRCC's website where it says we can work on implied status they were fine with it. But yeah you are right some sort of written confirmation would be nice. (My PGWP expired on 17th of July)
