AOR Oct 17. Order GMCS note on April 25, received it today. Eligibility: Recommend Passed; Security: Not Started; Criminality: In progress. VO - Ottawa

1. It appears that they make a mistake. [Police certificate not provided; No letter of explanation/proof of application on file."APPEARS COULD BE A CLERICAL ERROR" Recommendation: Review Required.] I stayed in different countries for the past 10 years, on the document checklist, they ask for Police certificate specifically for England. That's what I submitted, at the same time, I also uploaded police certificate from other countries under optional documents - "client information". This appears to be the reason they put me under review required???

Did you provided pcc of home country?
Did not u scan all pcc in one file and upload them ? Well even if u submitted in loe placeholder it should not be a problem.

On the GCMS note, they are saying I did not provide PC of home country, but I did include in the optional document section. I even put a table of content, saying what documents I attached.

I don't think so they have overlooked ur pcc bcoz if that was the case your application rejected under R10.

Don't worry, because you have more than 1 PCC, the criminality is in progress. If they would need any additional PCC, they would contact you.
Generally, Criminality is cleared before the eligibility if the PCC is from 1 country but in your case as more than one PCCs are involved, criminality is taking time.

How to read the GCMS note? There are 100 pages. ASSESSMENTS on the second page, is that the most recent status?

Check your 3-4 page, that will help you to know about your stage. (Med/Criminality/Eligibility/Security)
After that at the end you will see NOTES - You can check about R10, A11.2 etc.

Hi everyone! I know this is a late post and sorry I don't post much really, but other than to give update on PPR/COPR progress, I want to share our timeline here hopefully to give hope to those still waiting and also to make you aware about what we experienced as we made our queries during the last few weeks while waiting for our golden mail..

So this is our timeline:
EE Profile Created: August 11, 2018 (FSW-O Philippines / CRS: 446 ) /ITA: August 16, 2018
AOR: October 16, 2018 / MEP: November 14, 2018 / IP1: November 15, 2018
ADR: November 27, 2018 (Request to pay RPRF) / RPRF Paid: November 27, 2018
(no updates since)
December 27, 2018 - First GCMS ordered: Eligibility MET, Background check/ Security/ Criminality NOT started
February 8, 2019 - Raised CSE Web Form: "still verifying if eligibility is met"
February 28, 2019 - Second GCMS ordered: (same as 1st GCNS notes) Eligibility MET, Background check/ Security/ Criminality NOT started
Last week of March (2 weeks before 6-month mark) - called IRCC: agent gave me same answers as GCMS notes
April 16, 2019 --> 6th month mark, no updates received!!!
April 26, 2019: Raised second CSE Web Form query: "background verifications are currently in process" (but our online profile still showed IP1 status )
May 8, 2019 (9pm Philippine Time): Raised third CSE Web Form query: "currently verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements. The background verifications are currently NOT in process yet."
May 9, 2019 (9am Philippine Time): PPR MAIL!
May 10, 2019 - submitted Passports personally at VFS Global Manila
May 16, 2019 - COPR!

So if you've noticed sometimes the online profile, GCMS, agents' reports and CSE web form answers do not always seem to reflect the actual status of our application. Like if you based it on our online profile, we were stuck at IP1 the whole time and we never went to IP2 until PPR. But if you based it on the CSE web form answer (April 26), it can be considered IP2. More so when we received the May 8 CSE web form answer that we were back to verifying eligibility and background check not started! I was so sad when i got that mail, only to find out a few hours later that a decision has been made!

So what I want to tell to those who are still waiting, just keep your patience and hold on to it. Pray and leave the rest to God because there's nothing more we can do (unless of course you're asked for ADRs, etc)...otherwise the anxiety will just break you..like it almost did to me had I not strengthened up my faith

So I wish everyone luck and praying that blessings will come your way soon too!
