I applied for Physical file for my friend on october 7th and yesterday I received letter from authorities that they want extension usually its 30 days but they will take 50 more days after 30 days.

so may be around 2 more months delay because they have too many requests for GCMS for physical file.
we also had the same case..they too asked for 50 days extension..for physical files..they have to actually pull out our application package and scan it..so it takes tym..

Not sure but by google search ECU means Electronic commerce unit and RFV stands for ready for visa issuance. I guess you are very near of getting visa....good luck..

checking your time line, when did you get passport request ? is it 30-07-2013 or 30-08-2013 ?

hi dear forum members i have a questions to those who ordered gcms notes and received thier notes.
actually i ordered gcms notes as physical file and today i received a cd from ottawa having 188 pages all these pages are the scaned copies of my forms and documents nothing else.
i want to know that why didn't they send me any work on my file information like when my file transferred to islamabad and security checks and the expected due dates as the other forum members received this kind of information on their notes plz help me thanks
Electronic file is the right option to select. Re-order them and select electronic files..

Hi,

Life is good so far. Is it 21(1a), 21(1b) or ?

here is what section 21 means

http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/A-1/page-12.html

21. (1) The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any record requested under this Act that contains
(a) advice or recommendations developed by or for a government institution or a minister of the Crown,
(b) an account of consultations or deliberations in which directors, officers or employees of a government institution, a minister of the Crown or the staff of a minister participate,
(c) positions or plans developed for the purpose of negotiations carried on or to be carried on by or on behalf of the Government of Canada and considerations relating thereto, or
(d) plans relating to the management of personnel or the administration of a government institution that have not yet been put into operation,
if the record came into existence less than twenty years prior to the request.



it is more or less similar to section S(15) I guess.

Regarding your son write exactly what you have that you only have a birth certificate and doctor report is available and you have lost the rest of documents. If possible also provide an affidavit with this information written on it.

Good luck

AS FOR AS MY UNDERSTANDINGS

ECU = ECONOMIC CLASS UNIT OR SOME TIME CALLED, CRU = COST RECOVERY UNIT (IT IS A UNIT IN CHC WHICH DEALS RPRF RECOVERY MATTERS)
RFV = REFER FOR VERIFICATION

WHICH MEANS THAT IN YOUR OLD GCMS THE PROCESS ABOUT YOUR RPRF WERE PENDING
AND NOW IN YOUR NEW GCMS THE PROCESS IS COMPLETED AFTER VERIFCATION,
SO AFTER THIS PROCESS YOUR VERY NEAR TO RECEIVE PPR LETTER.
REGARDS,
