Status: approved in GCMS notes

[josh_1982]

Hi all,

I just got my GCMS notes and it is written this in the Assessments:

- Eligibility: Passed
- Security:
- Criminality: Passed
- Medical: Passed
- Final: Approved

And at the very end of the notes it is written file approved and RFV (I guess this means ready for visa).

The status of the application is still open ('In progress'). And in my ECAS the status changed to DM just the weekend of the COVID lockdown, so not PPR yet. I would like to ask for the experience of the experts in the forum. Does this means that the residence has been approved and the file is still open because not PPR or CoPR has been given yet?

yes

file will be closed once the visa is stamped

ok thanks!

 

[phoenix_vishal]

ok thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you. My final says "approved". My first note right at the end of the document says "**OFFICER REVIEW** APPROVED. All requirements met. Approved." How about you? I want to be sure before celebrating!

That means it is approved. In my case I also have at the end, Application approved and RFV (Ready for Visa). That was written by March, 13th....

lovely! I'm so excited. In your Finalize Application section do you have counterfoil and COPR? Usually this section isnt populated, but mine is (and im assuming yours is too)

 

[josh_1982]

I have COPR (printed in queue and with expiring date: 11/2020), but I do not see counterfoil..

I have the same. You're probably from a country that doesn't require a counterfoil, dont worry

 

[josh_1982]

Yup, I am from a VISA exempt country.. So you are still waiting since March,12th?

March 19 was my COPR date, so yeah around then

 

[josh_1982]

Ok, it seems it is taking ages. Let's see when they restart to send the COPRs...

I got the same status. Mine was approved on 13th March and the copr and counterfoil was generated the same day.

It also mentions of some kit, application form in the outgoing section which I didn't get, don't know what that is.

Any idea how soon can we get ppr email?

I'm pretty sure the kit and application form were simply transferred from one agent to another owing to COVID (I also have these items in my notes). It'll be a while before we get the mail imho, the CAN-USA border isnt even open. 3 months, give or take (THIS IS MY OPINION).

Hey dude, just one more question. In your finalized application section, under COPR, does it say "Status: Not started"? My agent says this means that the COPR has not begun and my application is still being processed (which I don't buy, why would the date of my final note be the same as my COPR generation date?)

Sorry, one more thing. On the first page of the notes, does it say App status: Open, App status reason: In progress?
