I would give them a call and just ask if they can give you some information as you haven’t heard anything. Are you in Canada?
November 2018 Outland Applicants (Spousal Sponsorship)
- Thread starter rissy1
- Start date
I have been sending email through WebForum, everytime i get the standard response saying its in process, but once they replied saying eligibility check is in process.Hey, sorry for this delay...where is your file though? Was it transfer yet? I am November 7 applicant. Aor- January 16. And medical came in February. Did you try calling cic? Checked your ecas??
I have tried calling them, but it never goes through, i have ordered ATIP request, waiting for it to arrive.
Really frustrated at this point.
Yes, i am in canada. But i always get the standard response as saying it is in progress. really desperate to get a reply from them
It’s like you have to be so fast at putting in those numbers to get through to an agent. Once I dial and listen to that first little bit of the recording i then hit that 2 1 0 so fast so the system can barely keep up. I called today and spoke with a really nice lady. Even though she couldn’t tell me much she was able to tell a little which helped. I would keep trying to get through to someone and if you’re not satisfied with their answers try again. Although I understand that getting through to them is not the easiest and that hold time can seem like forever
All the best to you!! I know you will hear something soon ... praying for you and yours.Thanks Santiago, i hope i get something, Also, just wondering how much would GCMS notes help. I have sent a request for ATIP, Is requesting GCMS notes better than ATIP?It’s like you have to be so fast at putting in those numbers to get through to an agent.

I have already checked my ecas, all i have is "We received your application for permanent residence on November 16, 2018".
Hopefully i will get something soon.
Thanks
As one of the members mentioned earlier, you will probably get medicals request after the file is transferred. To be honest, it is good if you get the medical requests at the later stage of the application because once you get the COPR you have to land before your medicals expire (a year from when you get it done). And if for some reason, they take longer to process your application, you will have to either redo the medicals or pack up and leave in a rush to be able to land just in time. Not only is it expensive to get the medicals redone but also you are once again put through the stress of the results.
Quite a few of us here are stuck in a limbo atm, so don't worry, you are not alone in it. Fingers crossed, there should be good news following soon for all of us who are waiting
I am in a position, where i am scrapping at the bottom of the barrel for some information. During such a session, I discovered that the message in the GCKEY changed from "You may not hear from us" to "Make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you to. This will help move the application process along." This is exactly 6 months into the process (to the day). I realize that this has happened to several people and is automated on the website. Too bad it is not an indicator of anything.
Short update on my side:
Submitted our additional docs, I needed to send two emails, I went a bit crazy with the photos lol The amended schedule A was physically mailed.
No updates in ECAS or GCKey. Not even that they requested the additional docs. I’m guessing Rabat just doesn’t update the system.
I ordered our notes today cause I’m just nosey AF and it was only $5 lol. It’ll give me something to read while we wait the remaining 5 months hearing nothing. I’m also curious to see if they have recommend interview indicated. It’s be nice to have a heads up if they do!

Most of the processing happens between the 6-12 month mark, it's an indication that you can expect some form of communication from them in the coming months. It seems that by 7-9 months, most people have heard something from them. At 7 months, we received interview request, so just keep an eye on your email.

GCMS are requested under ATIP (ACT) that is the most accurate info of the application. It takes 30 days to get the notes .
Honestly, I haven’t looked into requesting notes but maybe someone else can help! Anyone know the answer about requesting notes???

You can read about GCMS notes here https://getgcmsnotesbuddy.com/faqs-2/
Useless in my case. 40+ pages of repetitive BS.
