Ordered GCMS notes twice already, no movement. at the end of the day, I think it really depends on your local VO. I am not inclined to think that local VOs are forced to peek at your pile if GCMS requests are processed within Canada, as they just pull out records and don't necessarily signal local VOs for any action item.

Maybe the evidences of successful movements after ordering notes are just circumstantial, and not really directly correlated.

We have a similar timeline. I'm AOR 12th Nov 2015. I have also ordered a second set of GCMS recently. Still waiting for the report. Unfortunately I'm dreading getting a carbon copy of my previous notes because the local VO has likely done nothing since then. But let's see what happens.

Where are you from? Are you also in a country who's VO is as lousy as Pretoria, South Africa?
 
Another thing, guys...

Has anyone posting here heard of anybody getting another PCC request this late in the game? Somebody posted in a South Africa thread here that they got asked for PCC in Feb 2016 (even though their submitted PCCs were still valid) and they had submitted their application back in Oct 2015 or something.

I'm seriously dreading the possibility of such a PCC request because getting yet another US FBI PCC will delay this wait by another 4 months!!

But maybe this doesn't happen in most cases and I'm worrying unnecessarily. Thoughts?
 
I'm handled by SGVO. Last activity was Dec 2015 when my file was transferred to local VO. After that, complete dead silence and 2nd GCMS requested even on 5th month was exact copy (carbon if you will), of my first one.

So yeah, I'll leave my local VO's reputation at that.

Is that Singapore VO?

You know what... our cases are strikingly similar. Even for me, there is no activity whatsoever since Dec 2015 when my file was supposedly transferred from Ottawa to the local VO in Pretoria. A couple of days back I called Ottawa and they accessed my file and told me that it had been transferred to Pretoria back in Dec 2015. But they said that Pretoria didn't acknowledge receipt of it or something weird like that. I'm worried if this is not some system glitch that neither Ottawa nor the local VO is realizing and the person waiting and suffering is the candidate. What do you think?

One November AOR, zfraitis, was requested for a UK PCC for an accumulated stay of more than 6 months, but has since gotten PPR recently.

i got a PCC request for saudi arabia PCC , i initially submitted the saudi PCC but they wanted to have the original one (my gcms says saudi pcc for VO review) hence they asked me for a original one and i sent on 17th april through courier to abu dhabi office.
 
Any news for anyone here?
7 months and 4 days for me.
I remember my friends who went through the old system telling me they got their PR in 9 months. How is this Express Entry then? It makes no sense. Getting so frustrated.
 
Hey Guys,

By God's Grace I got my PPR email yesterday May 09, 2016...So happy.....Sorry for the late update. It took 6 months and two weeks to get PPR.

Hang in there. Hopefully all of you guys will receive your ppr's as soon as possible. My Prayers are with you guys.
Oh Lord! All Glory and Honour is Yours, Now and Forever.

Reached 7 months now, don't know what the hell is going on. :/

I've left my job as well and am sitting at home, waiting for the PPR....
I had a government job and because of the time they take for all the procedures, I thought I will get my visa within 6 months and resigning in time would be better because I didn't want to face any unwanted delays after getting my visa.

It's getting really frustrating... :(
 
Anything in your file that may have delayed processing? Eg. multiple travels, nature of job, country of origin?
