Hi, wondering how long it took to receive the GCMS notes after you sent your request?
Our application is going through the Paris VO too and we have an interview early in Oct.
Hoping our GCMS notes arrive in time.

I don't know the reason for the interview. They didn't give a specific reason and we haven't received the GCMS notes yet.

why you have an IETLS request? are you the family class? it takes 30 days to receive GCMS.. for those people out here, i suggest you constantly order them.. say once you receive this month, orders that right away to keep it fresh. 5.00 a month subscription. lol. its a cup of your starbucks.

Hi Everyone,

I got notice on September 19 that my file just got transferred to Paris. I have been trying to find reviews, or if people know the average processing time? Any ideas for how long Paris normally takes?

My processing time was between 2 and 3 months after my file was transferred to Paris. My file was transferred in November 2015 to Paris and my application was started on November 23 2015 and I was approved on January 25 2016. I'm a Belgian citizen and my wife is Canadian.

3 months is such good timing! Ok, im slightly less anxious now. I'm a canadian citizen, sponsoring my Libyan husband. I just hope the processing doesn't delay much for applicants not from Europe. Anyone else in the same boat i am?

Sigh...my cousins both had their spouses submit applications in 2014 and 2013 and it got transferred to paris. It took Paris 3-4 months to make a decision. They did outland sponsorship and their spouses were from libya. So Paris was fast back then, i just dont know if they're back logged now.
