Service Canada attempted to phone me today, I was on another phone call for work so I didn't pick up. They phoned my brother because he's the alternative number to schedule the biometrics appointment. I couldn't schedule an appointment, so I will have to wait for their second phone call.

Their phone number is private, so make sure your phone is not set up to block private numbers.

Not the best system there is to make an appointment to be honest. Email would have been much better. But I'll take what I get at this point.

Completely agree. Not sure who came up with this idea. :(

Hello everyone, need a suggestion.
My WP is expiring mid December, my AOR is March 20th. Should I apply for a bridging WP (BOWP) or should I wait for PR application update as biometrics have started to open?
I am in a similar situation and I am applying for BOWP, even though biometrics have started but it could still take some time to process the application. Mind you its taking long to process the work permit extensions as well.

This is great news! I received my GCMS notes yesterday and my eligibility hasn't started yet (application was last reviewed in April), but hopefully this means things are moving again.
on what page does it say when you application was lastly reviewed ? (GCMS are so large it's hard to get lost in it)

Review the last few pages of your GCMS notes under the “Notes” section. These “Notes” are numbered and dated from the most recent to the oldest. Another tip, you can convert your GCMS to an OCR format and then search as well.

The three simple steps to read your GCMS notes:

1. Verify that they are your notes by checking your application number, your name and date of birth on page 1.

2. See page 2 for the assessments. This is the overview of your application stages. To read on stages, see https://bit.ly/35xhKw6

3. Then flip to the last 3-5 pages, this is where the notes entered by the immigration officers are and will provide you with the details.

Once done, you will have a clear grip of your application and then you can read in details about the assessments and calculations and the incoming and outgoing documents which will be in the middle of your notes.
