I just received my 2nd GCMS Notes today ordered on May 5th.

Nothing has changed since my 1st GCMS which I filed on April 4th.
Security has not been started though it crossed the due date of April 29.

My Understanding :
1. Due dates don't mean anything on the GCMS Notes.
2. ONCE the file is with CPC office they do not touch it and that is what takes the most time.
3. Our assumption that security checks takes the most time is incorrect as my file was transfered to CPC on Feb 29 and since than nothing has been done: Neither in Activity or in INcoming/Outgoing.
4. Only added entry is the ATIP i raised which clears another theory that VO works on our ATIP case. VO is requested information from ATIP dept. and they just forwards the complete file nothing else.

Hey I am in same situation

AoR - 16th Feb
Category - PNP Ontario
Received GCMS notes last week with
Medicals - Passed
Criminality - Passed
Eligibility - Not Started
Security - Not Started
Due Date - 11th July

Does it mean that my file will be opened on or after 11th July?

What does your A11.2 status says ?
nothing is mentioned about A11.2 so I assume it is not started yet. Notes were prepared on 27th Apr, 70 days after AoR.

Thanks

Look for "Paper File Transfer History" somewhere above the Notes section.
Thanks for the reply bellaluna.
My paper file transfer history shows transfer from CIO to CPC-Ottawa and nothing more. But my "activity" history shows addition of new secondary office (which is my local VO) on the same day of my GCMS notes population.

That makes me think agent worked on my application only after my GCMS notes request. So, my application should be with my local VO now?

That is normal. They are transfering files from CIO to CPC which is fine. REad the activity below they will have updated from primary office as well.
GCMS notes have nothing to do with the file movement. Many have explained that in the previous posts.
They are completely different departments. ATIP requests the files and VO send the complete file and ATIP office removes unecessary information and sends you teh final document.

If you spouse is non-accompanying or you did not claim points for your spouse's education, then its fine. There should not be any issue.

But for your education equivalency, there seems some mismatch between degrees you claimed to CIC and ECA report.

Ok, so it looks like your file will be transferred to local VO after CPC-Ottawa completes the R10 and A11.2 checks. You can find out from your Notes if they have been done.

A11.2 is the section number in the IRCC regulations for Express Entry. You need to pass that in order to get through CIO.
It should be mentioned in NOtes. If it has not been completed yet, means you ordered your notes a little early.
