I'm a may applicant and got GCMS..
It says second review required. The reason is lame though.

I had 2 jobs and for my other part time job, i didnt declare any previous experience related to the same industry.

Anyone who gets their GCMS, please share..it'll help all fellow applicants to get an idea.
my situation is very similar as yours, I'm a March applicant, got file number in March, ordered GCMS notes in November saying that they want to review my previous work experience prior to the JOB I USED to apply CEC, but those previous jobs are not eligible for applying CEC, I really dont understand why they want to review that. And it has been 11 months now since I sent my application, NO UPDATES.

Maybe they just want to see if you were working with status.

In my GCMS it says January 15th but i guess that wasn't correct or it has been postponed..I ordered the notes on January 5th..Since i havent heard anything from them..i'm guessing its postponed..I've ordered another set of GCMS now..
Yeah most probably they have postponed it as it was the first due date for ur second review . Same thing was done in my case. Hopefully this time second review date will not be postponed again.
Thanks

I posted this on May 2014 thread already but i wanted to repost here since it's more specific to 2nd review.

I just received my GCMS notes and it's horrifying!
1) I applied as Executive Assistant from May 27 2013 to May 28 2014. First VO reviewed said based on date calculation, it appears that i'm not qualify for 1 yr work experience. I have no idea why. Within this year, i took 3 weeks vacation and got paid and no more vacation. I checked with Payroll and they said i got paid full 40 hours/week whole 2013-2014. I found a mistake (i think) 1st VO said work experience May 27 2013 to APril 28 2014, but I claimed may 27 2013 until MAY 28 2014. Maybe he used wrong timeline to calculate?
2) I answers "Yes" to "Have you ever been denied admission, or order to leave, Canada or other country" and I gave explanation that because i forgot my I-94 and wasn't able to enter the US. It's also a question to CIC to.

Can you guys suggest what i should do? Is the 1st review always done by a junior officer who goes by the book and if anything is out of line, they pass it to 2nd officer? Due date for 2nd review was Feb 25 2015 but ive heard nothing back.

Thanks

Oh my god . you make me scared Bro :(
I also have not submitted my Employment letter as my employer don't provide one, but my GCMS shows "recommed passed"

My Q to you
1) When your first application got rejected? I mean after how many months after application submission ?
2) For your first application did you ever ordered GCMS , if yes what VO note said in that ? review required etc.?
3) did you got MR request for your first application before it got rejected

Sorry for many Q but you can understand why I am asking all these
Thanks in advance

My Q to you

2) For your first application did you ever ordered GCMS , if yes what VO note said in that ? review required etc.? VO officer mentioned that there are no letters of reference to prove employment in Canada - for eligibility (It was worded differently, but that's what the VO meant)
3) did you got MR request for your first application before it got rejected. No I did not get a MR

Sorry for many Q but you can understand why I am asking all these

If 1st VO reviewed your file and said not satisfied with your job duties, should I send in another letter with more details or should i wait for them to contact me?
