Hi pari_p,

The problem isn't that they're lazy. The problem is the strike. CIC has moved resources from processing PRs to processing visas, in order to make sure that essential services are not disrupted. As a consequence, the processing of PR applications has slowed down considerably. Read this article here: http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1187123/media-advisory-canada-s-foreign-service-officers-announce-additional-pickets-in-ottawa-and-escalated-service-withdrawals


GRRRRRRRR!!!! Oh well.... I am sure they have valid reasons for strike...... BUT send me my GCMS notes atleast :'( need to know if I pass eligibility >:(

Hi Dilli,

Yep, same guy. Do you have any recommendations regarding taking advance medicals?

I would say go for it!. I did well in advance even when I didnt know if I will pass Eligibility. Atleast now you know your eligibility is passed, I would recommend go for medicals and save those extra time waiting.

Hi guys,

Just received my GCMS notes. After almost 10 months of radio silence from CIC, this comes as a huge relief:

Eligibility: in progress, recommend passed
Criminality: in progress
Security: not started
Medical: not started

A quick question: do you think it's worth it for me to do advance medicals, or should I wait until CIC requests it? Given that this whole ordeal is taking forever, I'm just wondering if advance medicals might speed things up a little bit...

Could you please confirm the procedure / process for requesting the GCMS Notes ?
Really appreciate that..!

Just applied for my GCMS notes. With this strike on and no real movement forward with any of us in the September 2012 group I figured "what the hell, for $5 I might as well try." Who knows I may receive my MR before the end of the month but I'm not holding my breath :(

Bummer! SO will I get the same information or is it totally different if I didn't choose privacy act??

I applied under the Information Act as well yesterday. We can see how long it takes since we applied on the same date.

The information is the same regardless under which option you apply.
