understanding GCMS notes

[zaina02]

Oh, and one more thing -
if I understand correctly, the Activity section in the GCMS notes should be read from the last to no.1 activity, meaning that the no.1. is the most recent activity/status/stage.
Here is what Activity section looks like in our notes, and please take notice that in No. 1 Selection-EE Econ new value is cancelled!?
What is this regarding, does that mean the application is cancelled, or some further action is cancelled, what would be that activity? Is further investigation regarding the review required status cancelled? What is going on - I'm trying to be positive, but there is no similar situation info on this forum, and I am losing hope.

Here's the GCMS content:
Throughout Activity 1-7 sections Created Date, Created by, Update Date, Updated by are left blank.

At the beginning of the notes (generated end of Feb) there is also this:
App. Assignment: Assigned To: RC-2710, Assigned By: (code), Due Date: mid 2019/03.
Plus bare in mind that the App. was last updated (by Case Analyst) beginning of 2019/02.

Would anyone please comment, I'm deep in spiral of doubt and worry.
Thanks for understanding and your time!!

Good luck to everybody.

Hi,

DId you get your pr yet?? My gcms notes say the same thing.

 

[ipaykwai]

Hello I received my requested gcms notes with regards of my PR application. and here's the note from the officer:
"created Date: 2019/10/15
updated date: 2019/10/15
office: Manila

Officer review: PNC was valid at time of DOA. Eligibility passed. IDs and relp between PA and accompanying spouse are established. Both declared no dependent children. Integrated search indicated both have been in CDA and had stayed without status for a period of time. Aside from WP and ext refusals, there appears to be no adverse info. Returned to the PHL in Feb 2019. Medical passed. all fees paid. Pending- Crim"

Through gcms notes, I also read that my security check has been completed. my questions are:
1. Does that mean a positive decision on my application?
2. Does that mean my application is already here in my home country and the decision still takes a while or sooner? I submitted my application last june 2019.
3. Does this mean my application is approved-in-principle (AIP)?

Thank you so much and have a blessed day.

 

[ipaykwai]

That I can't answer. The notes are from a junior analyst. My guess is they don't have power to either approve or refuse an application. they just make a recommendation. It is still possible a senior visa officer makes a favorable decision on your file.

Having said that as per requirements of CIC a simple LOE is not enough for employment reference letter. If you can obtain a letter in required format you should upload it proactively.

Hi, how we will know if the one who made a review, an update on our files is a senior officer, a junior, or an agent one? Thanks

from what I have read...it may mean groups:0 assessment not started groups:1 assessment passed....sometimes people say it is groups:0 assessment not reqd groups:1 assessment required... people who have written about these are themselves confused as to what it exactly means
in either case, it does not mean anything 'bad'..
security as a whole is difficult to comprehend from notes, because most of the information is blanked out...its very difficult to decipher what exactly they are doing...
I believe you are pretty close to getting PPR as you must be from Feb thread(don't remember exactly)...so I am quoting a OP called expressentryqueen for you...she was kind enough to order her notes and post on this thread for our reference...she ordered it the day (a few days prior) she got the PPR and on her notes...groups are 1...hope this helps! and I quote-

"As a follow-up to my initial post on my GCMS notes, i thought that it might benefit everyone if i shared my GCMS notes once my application was approved to give us a clearer picture of the application process. Each application may vary depending on the applicant's circumstances though. In my case, i'm a single person, graduated from a Canadian university's masters program, with about 3 years work experience from my country, so i was invited under the FSW category.

My BG check went into progess on June 18th and i got the RFV mail on the 20th. I then applied for the GCMS notes that same day but it was not printed until June 28th, the same day that MyCIC changed to Approved. On the First page of the GCMS notes, it looks like this:

I believe it's because you worked for only 8 months.

PA: Not in Status - This means that your visa may have been expired. So IRCC will conduct a Field Operations Support System (FOSS) search to know your status in Canada if you are on a visa or have any immigration violations in the past.

Thanks,

A35/A37 this refers to the corresponding section of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations, which state:

A35: Inadmissibility on grounds of human or international rights violations


A37: Inadmissibility on grounds of organized criminality

@legalfalcon and other experts...could you please help deciphering these notes for me? It seems that there is a RR on POF but there are no further details given. I had the POF well above the required funds and all through valid source (salary). no gift deeds or FDs. I have no clue on why there would be a RR and getting worried now. AOR 2nd Oct 2019.

jus to add on.. u have RR for employment as well (employment letter).. did u provide an affidavit for ur job duties instead of letterhead ?

RR on POF can be anything.. requirement is just not about funds above the requirement... the case analyst is not satisfied by ur source.. left to the officer..
if u have done everything possible.. just wait...
