Those who Waiting EXPRESS ENTRY in Six Months and not finalized!!!!

[prcand]

congrats legalfalcon! glad to hear that you finally made it. btw, when you said be proactive.... how proactive can we get? was thinking that our hands are tied until such time that local VOs get back to us.

Thank you so much for your kind wishes. I am aware that this thread is for applicants who are still waiting and I know the pain. I do not in anyway wanted to let mock you guys, but just wanted to update you and ask you to be patient and pro active.

If you may have any questions with which I could help you, feel free to post them here or PM me.

All the best!

Don't worry. You are almost there. Did you try ordering the GCMS notes recently?

Ordered them a month ago. They should have arrived yesterday, but still no news on that either.

Here is my suggestions. I may be wrong, but I might be right. In my view, your should order another set of GCMS notes today or tomorrow. Your BGC went in progress on March 5. It takes less than a month for the BGC in most cases until there is something really wrong. The only issue I can see which might delay your PPR is that the application might have been sent to the LVO for the final BGC. LVOs are poorly staffed and have other work to do too. But I strongly feel that ordering GCMS will help. If your BGC is complete, an agent will have to open your file, and since he will be looking at your file, he will just move it ahead with the BGC completed update.

Has anyone been able to get to a CIC agent recently? I have been trying for a couple of days and after going through the menu options it always ends up in "we're currently experiencing a high volume of calls" and hang-up.

Today, just as I get to 11 months of waiting, I got a ghost email that my file has been updated while there wasn't any changes when I logged in.

I also noticed last week that my medical status has changed from "passed" to "not needed at this time".

Thanks! I think I'll just wait to receive the GCMS that I ordered a month ago. They should tell me what's happening as I ordered them on the day my background went in progress. I have a government job in my personal history, and I am suspecting they are doing a thorough security check for that, and it might be why the whole thing is taking so long. Once I get the notes, hopefully I can see if there is any comment on that and then plan my next step.
I just hope it won't take too long. I was hoping to land in July, but let's see how things work out.

Hi friends,

Yesterday, my application has completed 6 months

What should I do now.

Calling them, Raising a CSE to OTTAWA or Raising the CSE to LVO?

I'll definitely let you know, once I receive my GCMS. Even that is turning out to be a long wait.
I also sent an email to Ottawa to inquire about the status of my application. I have not heard back yet.

i'm not sure whether you need to send CSE to Ottawa as based from your profile, your LVO is Abu Dhabi.... if you are not sure though, you can send the CSE to the generic link, so they will auto-route for you.

Hi all,

May I ask why government job will make the security check longer than other jobs?
My husband is police man, I wonder if it's bcs of his job that takes our case so long.

Thanks,

The GCMS dots don't say anything with regard to security. It's only passed or they write a concern, which too is removed then the notes are sent to you. But waiting for a day or two is not bad. I requested GCMS notes when I received my last notes and my BGC went in progress. Then I waiting for a month and ordered a new set, received the ghost mail and the PPR was here.

Based on my experience I suggested you about the GCMS but will leave it to your best judgment. A government job does not necessarily creat issues. Even I had one and in my case it was a top security clearance required job. But it dos not create any issues, just took a little longer than usual.

Well, I received my GCMS notes so I got to know from these notes that my LVO is ABU DHABI

Is there any harm to send CSE to both ABU DHABI and OTTAWA? or better to send to Abu Dhabi only?
