Ah yes, the classic donkey and carrot — except in this case, the carrot is moldy, the stick is broken, and the donkey has already walked halfway across the desert. At some point, it’s not motivation — it’s mockery.
Hi @Aleem123,
I have just asked my Rep. Yesteday and she said "due to there were the high volume of the GCMS ordering when we placed the order so this would cause the delay"
Will keep all of my updates as soon as receipt of my GCMS notes
Cheers

Hi @Dint & @Aleem123
Thank you very much for your kind shares.
It is very hard to be 100% fully understand the notes which the IRCC officers mentioned in the GCMS notes. As you said "The four members who received their GCMS notes have been ready for finalization since June 24". In my point of view, there may be a possibility that your 5th Co-founder has been stuck in the "Security check / Screening", I thought. Anyhow, let's wait and see the GCMS notes from him.
- My AOR 2021
-My 1st Medical & Submitted July, 2022 (Passed in Oct 2022)
-My 2nd Medical & Submitted Dec, 2024
-My DO is Prioritized on (Angel - CIAI)
The last updated information from my MP in May 2025 was :
- Security = passed
- Criminality is in process
- Medical is in process
=> I have ordered the GCMS notes since 2nd of June but haven't got it yet.
Honestly, I do not understand why & so tired to wait...!
Wish something news for all of us coming soon in the next coming months...sbs told me it may be Sept or Oct.
Good luck for all of us
Let keep in touch
Cheers

Hi,
For your further information about my SUV team:
- There are 3 PAs
- We are outland
1) I am a 1st PA (Founder):
=> Eligibility, criminality & medicals in process (MER & submitted in Dec 2024); security has passed. My 2nd Medical request came late and about 9 months after comparing with my Co-founders as below.
2) 2nd PA (Co-founder):
=>Eligibility, criminality & security in process; medicals passed (MER & submtted in April 2024).
3) 3rd PA (Co-founder):
=>Medical (MER & submitted in April 2024)., security & Criminalilty passed; eligibility in process.
My file has been running around and making my brain become crazy! To be honest, I don't understand I don't know how an application to become a "Fully Eligible" for SUV even it woud look likely very simple to understand in theoretically!
I hope to receive some valuable advice from experienced SUV in this forum.
Cheers

SUV Processing time increased today to 4.33 year from 4.25 years .....!!!!! its expected to increase more in the future ,,, what do you think?
My gut feel and wild guess is in coming 2-3 months it may increase by another month or two and then it will fall below 40 months, the assumption is that they will clear the 2020 and 2021 backlog in coming 3 months, the decisions may go both ways, approved and not approved to bring down the numbers
The Math doesn’t support this….to see drop in processing time you can do either of 2:
- Increase quota
- halt mew intakes and increase quota
With only 1000 shared spots how can you see drop in processing time with estimated number of applications (greater than 13000)
Got your point.
With ~6 years of inventory, the drop will depend on both approvals and rejections. My sense is higher rejections, the 10-applications-per-DO limit, and Priority DO processing could all accelerate the decline.
Let’s see how the numbers play out once decisions start flowing.
We are all trying to pacify and convince ourselves that good days will come, otherwise we all would take back our applications after such a long wait
Left with no choice but to be optimistic
Hi,
Without increasing the quota, the processing time will remain high for several years before it starts to decline.
I got access to this document from my incubator slack channel and thought of sharing it here for everyone to look at SUV approval and refusal data - https://meurrensonimmigration.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/SUV-Stats.pdf
Hi @nanoxide ,
That's a very helpful shared information of you! Many thanks!
It makes us to understand and to explore why most of the SUV application files have been likely blocked and not moving forward at all from Jan 2025 so far.
Let make a calcaultation for the data from Jan-April 2025:
1) Angel =>Approval rate = 15%
2) Business In. =>Approval rate = 27%
3) Venture C. =>Approval rate = 85%
=> The average approval rate of the 1st half 2025= 42%.
With the total of processed applications were only = 265 Applications
=> 265 x 42% = 112 (Approved Applications) !
Basing on the target of 2025 is around 2000 applications for SUV.
I don't know what will happen next and wonder why the processing speed is too slow!
Furthermore, I am so confused the calculating unit here e.g whether the posted number 265 & 2000 applications is only for PAs or for the whole number of dependents?
Wish IRCC will speed up to process for our SUV application and do hope we all will have a good news or udpated soonest
Cheers
