Does anyone know if GCMS notes would show the details of both primary and secondary applicants when the request is initiated by the primary applicant???

A consent form is needed of all applicants for information to be released in GCMS, for any missing consent corresponding information may be redacted (removed) and not shown.
 
Hello,
Yesterday when I logged in to my account, I read "Application/Profile Updated" and again It goes to normal "Your action is required" (as I need to provide Biometric)
Aor- 5 July
Med pass and BIL - 25 Aug

what the status "Application/Profile Updated" means?
 
Hi,
Did anyone wrote to the local MPs , just curious , If yes what is the reply?

Local MP can contact IRCC on your behalf and the response from IRCC may look something like this

We can provide you with the following details about the status of your constituent’s application for permanent residence:

  • The application was received at xxx Office on xxx.
  • The eligibility requirements assessment was finalized on xxx.
  • The medical examination results are on file and valid until xxx.
  • The criminality verifications are in process.
  • The security verifications are in process.
  • A letter requesting biometrics was sent on xxx.
As per our current processing times, it may take up to 6 months to finalize the application. However, processing times indicated on our website are approximate, and can vary with each individual case.

Thanks, but I was talking about biometrics maybe they can ask service canada to open for biometrics

This is the statement from IRCC

Please note that even though some Service Canada offices have reopened, the biometrics collection services remain unavailable until further notice. For now, there is no public policy for permanent residence applicants that exempts them for the biometric requirements.”

You can visit your local MP and request them to seek info on your application. Many applicants have done it, but doing it before the average processing time of 6 months has expired makes no sense.

IRCC is obligated to release the information to the MP under the Privacy Act within 48 hours under the Privacy Act.


Disclosure of personal information

  • 8 (1) Personal information under the control of a government institution shall not, without the consent of the individual to whom it relates, be disclosed by the institution except in accordance with this section.
    (2) Subject to any other Act of Parliament, personal information under the control of a government institution may be disclosed
    • (g) to a member of Parliament for the purpose of assisting the individual to whom the information relates in resolving a problem;

The information provide to the MP is way more accurate and precise than what you get in response to your webform. Many applicants have done it and usually the info you get is as follows:


We can provide you with the following details about the status of your constituent’s application for permanent residence [FSW / CEC etc,]:

  • The application was received at the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney (CIO), Nova Scotia on MONTH XX, 2020.
  • The eligibility requirements assessment was finalized on [•], 2020.
  • The medical examination results are on file and valid until [•], 2021.
  • The criminality verifications are in process .
  • The security verifications are in process.
  • A letter requesting biometrics was sent on [•], 2020.
  • As per our current processing times, it may take up to 6 months to finalize the application. However, processing times indicated on our website are approximate, and can vary with each individual case.
Please note that even though some Service Canada offices have reopened, the biometrics collection services remain unavailable until further notice. For now, there is no public policy for permanent residence applicants that exempts them for the biometric requirements.”

Although, getting info from your MP is much faster and accurate than webform.

That's good. Applicants are seeing in their Gcms Notes that Criminality is not passed even though it has actually been passed and that's due to the fact that Biometrics are outstanding.

Or will they continue processing eligibility and security/criminality meanwhile?

Hi a quick question, as you passed your eligibility did you receive any GU or email update?
Also, did you see any changes in your cic account?
