Hi everyone.

I requested my GCMS and here's what I can see on it:

1. Security: Not started
2. Admissibility: Not started
3. Medical examination: Not started
4.Criminality: ongoing
Under criminality I can see the following:
- Biographical: Done, nothing to report
- RCMP: Done, nothing to report

Just to let you know guys, here's my stats:
APP: 05.03.2018
AOR: 06.27.2018

Is it normal that I have such long delay on the criminal check?

I can also see the due date on security, admissibility, medical examination and criminality is 06.27.2019, so 1 year after my AOR. The office is Ottawa. What do you think guys? :)
How did u request for gcms ntoes. Could u share the link?
 
Think about what you want not want you don't want.
I was in this journey since July 2011, and I am waiting for my passport to come back from Canadian embassy.
Enjoy the waiting time and think about your plans once you are there.
I feel you will be sharing some good news very soon. I hope so really
I am an inland applicant. I just wanted to receive my pr asap to leave quebec.

I found this on another thread I constantly keep seeing many people asking how to order gcms notes; although it's been answered hundreds of times on this forum. This is courtesy of Kinza_Bee and many other contributors on how to order GCMS NOTES!

How to apply GCMS / ATIP notes.
Only a person who is in Canada can request the notes. Get your sponsor to request on PA'S behalf!

If principal applicant is in Canada, he/she can request for himself and apply for free under Privacy Act.

If sponsor is requesting it on behalf of Principal applicant, you need consent form from PA and $5 fee. You can receive consent form from spouse via email and upload it. Apply under Access to Information Act.

It takes about 30 days to receive by email. It is a ~30 pages document (can be more than 30 pages)

Consent form:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5744.asp

Section A - Principal Applicant details
Section B - Sponsor's details
Section C - Sponsor's details

Any good news regarding your Visa?
