Hey All:
I just received my GCMS notes today and have a few questions:
- Under "assessments" what is "security"? - Mine shows not started.
- and what does "due date" mean?
Also what does security entail? how is it different to criminality?
thank you all.
1. security is usually done after medical received. It's part of the background check. It will review other than criminal--political, social, economical etc. Most people have nothing to be alarmed, but some has, such as civil servants, ex-law enforcement, veterans. In the old days, security and criminal reviewed at the same time after MR; being like that, MR was so fast at that time. Now CIC do criminal first and MR, and so the rest...
2. the due date is literally "due date." Each review section has due date, mostly the same tho. It's been set at the first time with approx. time to process. For us, it would be 15-16 mos. So, yes, it will be the date to approve our PR, BUT that is misnomer at the same time. Whole process speed of CIC may be slow down for any reason, and the "due date" doesn't count that. In short, your (or our) PR may be delayed after the due date. One good thing about this is, you can call the call-center and ask about your process details after this due date passed.
This is my suggestion about the reading GCMS note. Do not care too much about what has not been done. Care about what outcome you got. You may have got criminal and potentially medical. See what you got. Find if anything can stop your process in the final review. Find some keyword like adverse, concern, or so. Also it would be good to read last couple pages, which is real progress of your application, and real note from the "officers".
