Any idea about the above notes guys?
Hi Vijay,
Is there any indications in your GCMS notes that they have actually started the Eligibility, Criminality and Security? When I ordered mine, it stated NOT STARTED beside each of those.

Hi All,
I am going to see the MP today. I was wondering is it a good idea to tell the visa officer that we have seen the GCMS regarding our case and on it stated pending interview and it has been almost 5 months we have no received any correspondence? I am not sure if we should tell them that or not mention about the GCMS notes and just ask them what's causing the delay through the MP?

hi Lav,

No indication of that but last update on note says montreal offfice informed to mp office that criminality and security check is started.

But on status on my application shows both not started... still confused y montreal office told that to mp office

Oh ok thanks Vijay. I read in other thread that sometimes they update the status once everything is completed. How come Montreal office responded to the MP's inquiry instead of the colombo visa office? MP didn't get a direct response from the Colombo visa office? Also, how long it took for the MP office to receive response? I am going to see the MP today and will order GCMS again in two weeks and see if there is any progress. On the previous GCMS it stated interview pending it has been almost 5 dates no correspondance from them so lets wait and see what happens

Hi lav,any notifications from mp??
Hi Saina, MP office contacted the immigration in Canada and they said my husband is in queue for interview and they are doing the background check. They will contact us when they are ready for the interview. They didn't give us a timeframe, just said they can't tell how long it will take...we just have to wait.
