Hi Everyone!

So great reading the stories of how everyone met! I love a good love story!

Quick question...what are "notes" that people keep talking about and sending for them?

I couldn't wait to get home to read through everyone's posts. What a great atmosphere!

Thanks a bunch!

Good evening cblgr!

Yes, this forum is very addictive and it's always great to read what has happened throughout the day especially when someone gets good news.

You can order GCMS notes and they will/may have information of what is happening with your file. The link Chickie posted earlier today tells you how to go about ordering and paying for them. I have ordered my notes twice and there hasn't been a lot of information in them; however, some people get them and are happy with the results. For example, some of the information in them can be/is:

- when your application transferred from Canada to Kingston
- the statuses of the background checks
- notes from the vo about your relationship
- any emails you have sent to Kingston inquiring about your application
- etc, etc, etc, etc.

It's very important to remember that although there may not be anything in your notes it does not mean they are not working on your application. I was devastated when I ordered mine and there wasn't anything in them. Other members on this thread have said there was no information in their notes until the final decision was made and their spouses had already landed in Canada.

If you want to read more about GCMS notes, just do a search on the forum and a bunch of threads will pop up.

2 important notes:

1) your spouse has to sign the consent form (it can be emailed or faxed, you don't need the original) each time you order the notes. I had my hubby sign 12 of them - one for each month of the year so I can order them whenever I feel like it.

2) order the electronic file. (If you order the paper file someone in Kingston has to pull your application, make a copy, and then send you the notes.)

Thank you so much for the welcomes its so nice to meet you all!!

All our stories are so similar I filed my application on April 2 2012 and had my file transferred to Kingston on July 9 2012. I as of yet have heard nothing ecas still says application was received and nothing else Sad My husband and I meet threw mutual friends and have been together for seven years now and married for four this August I've been praying we would be able to spend this anniversary in Canada with my family since we have spent the last three in Jamaica with his but it's not looking good so far.

We're happy to have you join our family and we're here to support you through thick and thin. Keep your spirits up and you just may be spending your anniversary together in Canada this year. Fingers crossed.

If it makes you feel any better, it looks like we applied around the same time and the only reason I heard from Kingston is because I emailed them. Sometimes no news is good news!

I'm glad your friend told you about this forum. The more the merrier!

Maddants, they more than likely don't want you to do them before your interview. Since they haven't scheduled an interview date for you yet, they probably don't want to risk having them expire again. I know it's hard to be patient, especially when you've already been waiting so long...

i know that what they are doing sis.....i just think that they will ask for them by next month..im still praying for a ppr though but if the interview come first that good also...i just hope it will be soon though so i can get to my wife in canada....i miss her too much right now....but she soon will be coming down to see me by may sometimes..

[Maddants]

I have a question....I am just finishing up my applications, marriage certificate should arrive by fed ex tomorrow and just realized that hubby didn't sign the police certificates. Will they return our application for this? Should I send it back to him to sign and send back to me? What a pain, but I want to get it done right the first time! Any thoughts?

i did not signed my police record at all and they did not send back anything to my wife....but i know when i do it over i will sure sign it though so i dont have any delay at all..when i was looking at my application copy that my wife made fore me i saw that i did not signed it at all and i told my wife about it though..but she was already approve to sponsor me though.....so it up to you on what you wanna do
