Forgot to let you guys know. I finally received my second set of GCMS notes on Friday 27th May. Had ordered it on 27th April (5.5 month mark). It is completely identical to the first set of notes! :mad: :mad: :mad: No change whatsoever except the record showing that I ordered GCMS. They still haven't even touched my file since they transferred to the local office on Dec 4th, 2015. I want to know what the heck these guys do during working hours from Monday to Friday if they are not working on our applications?!?!??

Seriously, what do these guys do if not processing our applications? Seems like full time government job only - no obligations, whatsoever!

I dont understand few things, may be its my lack of knowledge. You mention your file was transferred to LVO, does that mean its in ready for visa status?

For me agent told that processing is happening at Ottawa and decision is pending, rest all is done. Once done then they will get in touch with LVO to send me passport request.

Question is - Is every file transferred to LVO? If so, how many times and at what stages?

Your guess is as good as mine. I have no idea. The last 2 times I spoke to an agent in Ottawa, they told me "Your file has been transferred to Pretoria. Everything Ottawa needed to do is done. Now you'll have to contact the Pretoria office." So I asked, is everything done? Is security check done? Then they simply repeat the same thing that I must contact Pretoria for further action. These idiots have no intention to actually help the applicant!

Seems there is no concrete info available. All we can do is rely on CIC agent and then wait (I know this is the least favorable option but this is the only one available).

As far as your case is concerned what does Pretoria office say about your application? Why not send them a detailed email with quotes from call with CIC? May be its really done at Ottawa and now your LVO is taking its own sweet time?

Maybe you should consider doing that too if that will also help Pretoria VO wake up on your file. :p Do you know from your GCMS notes if Security has been completed yet? Entry should be blank and have a number at the upper right corner.

@ chiyakam, taekwondo, r_mittal86, Thanks too guys, wishing you the best! It will come, it has to!

From what I have observed, transfer to LVO usually means preliminary checks have been done in Sydney & Ottawa, will simply wait for security checks to be completed, and then when the security check comes in, the final eligibility check will be done by LVO before RFV/PPR...I have also seen cases where Manila VO called applicants' employers to confirm some information and then they got PPR a few days after the calls. I have also seen another compatriot get his PPR directly from Ottawa (his file wasn't transferred to Manila).

Dont know if my case is identical to the 1st or last example which you are quoting.

I have been told by the CIC agent that all (medical, eligibility, security and criminality) has been done and the file is at Ottawa awaiting decision. Once decision is made then the request of passport will be sent to me by LVO. Unsure if final eligibility check is pending for me and file is yet to come to LVO or as agent said all is done.

One size doesn't fit all, criterion for selection of path which the file will follow remains unknown.

Hopefully these clouds of ambiguity will clear up soon.

I have already sent 2 emails to the Pretoria VO so far. They sent an auto response stating that they will respond in 30 days. It has been past 30 days and they haven't even responded to one of those emails. Bloody crooks!

Congrats bro. Now I will just wait for my decision to be made (will call CIC everyday to check) and will chase them for email as soon as decision is made. Won't wait for them to send mail on their own.

I received my GCMS notes yesterday. Nothing has moved since last notes. There is one addition security activity, but again, cannot see what it is. In the agent notes from March 8 it says Ready to finalize, yet when I got in touch with IRCC, they said they are still working on my background check. There is a due date of May 5, but again nothing happened.

I am so hesitant to get in touch with them again, as I don't want to annoy them, but how much longer can I possibly wait???

Btw, does anyone know what CLP documents stands for? In one note it says they've received CLP documents, and I have no idea what that is. I didn't send anything like that.

Congrats chiyakam! So, this URGENT thing works. I hope their email doesn't get flooded with URGENT messages now. Will lose its meaning! :p

ToCanadawego, I suggest you get a bit more aggressive in questioning them like adin.blr has done. Not saying annoy them but simply be firm and persistent yet polite. These people are sending some imaginary PPR emails into cyberspace and have no clue whether it is reaching us paying customers or not!! The system should be renamed as Haphazard Random Entry.
