Hello,

Try reading the GCMS as a regular information letter.

The CAIPS codes do not apply to GCMS notes.

Hi!

GCMS is different from CAIPS. I tell you what to do. First check on page 2, assessments like eligibility, criminality, medical, security etc if they are blank, passed, not started etc then under assessments check application assignment due date (this is your BFD). Then in the end check the notes of visa officer from 1 to last at the end of notes. They will give you an idea what has been going on with your application. Thanks

Any body pls commenst positive or negative?

They definitely are positive. Your paper screening was passed on 15/11/2011 and selection was passed on 9/5/12. Please share more details. Don't you have any thing like this PSDEC or SELDEC etc. I think being an old applicant this may be different for you. Can you see any notes / comments of visa officer any where about your file. Thanks

In page 3, there is Client Details under which, all i can find is my personal details but one thing which is confusing is, 'Counterfoil Reqd: Yes'. What does this mean? Similarly, in pg. 4, there is HIRV (What does it mean?). Under it, CRIMINALITY: PASSED, MEDICAL:NOT STARTED, MISREPRESENTATION: (blank), Min Relief: Security, Min Relief: HIRV, Min Relief: Org Crime, Marital Status: Married etc. included (what do they signify?), NOTES1 Created: 2012-06-06 TEXT: FOLLOWING EMAIL RECD. FM APP FWDD TO EN/ZB IN MPR (Plz, kindly explain these acronyms) ====The email i had sent in the past written in response to the demand of the documents (my family status configuration) which i had already submitted at the VO once earlier has been included as it is). NOTES2 Created: 2012-05-25 Text:*****Fax received from PA in response to the request letter we sent on 9th March for her spouse's docs.Since the spouse is already a PR of Canada, she wants to know if these documents are really required.***** Letter sent to MPR for Officer's review. (Plz let me know What is this MPR?), NOTES 3:On 2012-05-09: Text: RCVD letter on 26 April 2012 from PA along with updated IMM8, PCC1, Copy of marriage certificate, Copy of PR card and other supporting documents. Same PA'ED IN MPR SLOT FOR FORWARDING IT TO MPR. NOTES 4 on 2012-05-09, Text: REQUEST SENT ON How TO ADD A SPOUSE, NOTES 5 on 2012-05-07 Text: Eligibility passed, funds met, crim pending. Note that spouse is to be added. ECD: PLZ Contact PA to follow up on info/fees for spouse prior to being able to issue medical. There are such 14 NOTES which contain my CSI and other updates in the descending order of the dates down to the date when application was filed. Now, plz tell me has my spouse been added there? Otherwise, why the Marital status became Married in my personal details in pg 4? Plz going through above informations, inform me the possible status of my case.

Hi dear friends,

received my CAIPS notes today.on head of first page it is written as
CASE STATUS SELECTION
PSDEC 1(23.02.12) the date my case went in process
SELDEC 1(23.02.12)
BDEC (nothing before this field it is blank)
MEDDEC 0
OREQ 0
FINDEC 0

ECD Please issue meds*1 and request:
Indian PCC
RPRF's
ppt's

there is written like this-
FAMILY MEMBERS CLIENT ID DATE OF BIRTH STATUS MEDICAL
Navneet Kaur 63242152 (HERE MY DOB IS WRITTEN) SEC CRIM 3 STAGE VALIDITY


Friends my question is this why my name is written in family member's list name.
and does this means that still my criminality checks are pending? yaar 5 months gone still not done...quite confused, as till date i have not crossed the boarders of my motherland and i am really all very much clear with my criminal records(yaar aaj tak ek makhi tak te mari nahi, banda ke marna.... }
under criminality check how long they can take for a person like me.

So please clear my this confusion.
thanks.

Navneeta Sis
Ur CAIPS and mine is exactly the same. BDEC which is blank means Background Decision is more related to security decision is not done yet. But i m confused my STATUS SEC CRIM is 1 but U write 3. My name is also written in the family information eventhough i am Principal Applicant.​

hi there can you answer my few question so that i can conclude something,
1. have they written somewhere that they will request updated PCC when medicals will be asked for?as in my caips it is clearly mentioned that CRIM PENDING UPDATED PCCs so it means that when i will hand over undated pcc to them then my crim will posses 1 before it
2. You have any travel history or not?
