I have never seen any express entry applicant having -security screening- in their notes. i only observed security. I might be wrong though.

I have looked through my notes, only screening I have is RCMP which is Canadian police, but the major category should be security check under admissibilities

This is an old unclassified document :

Got my GCMS note today. I have been guided by many people from this forum, hope this can help.

Assessments
Eligibility: Passed;
Security: not Started
HIRV:
Criminality: Not Started;
Org Crime:
Medical: Passed

I am PNP outlander with AOR Feb 14. Reading the note, it seems that local VO does review everything which secondary office already reviews such work experience, language, etc. And local VO makes the final decision regarding the eligibility, at lease in my case.

Second, it seems that my delayed PCC does not affect much CPC-Ottawa office review process.

Besides all that, I have a feeling that the overall process is slowing down. It seems that my last update is Jun 14 and no movement since then.

I have security screening in my notes, but sadly i don't know the difference between the two either. I am only assuming security screening refers to a more in depth check by an outside agency, as opposed to a regular usual security check for most applicants.

On the second page, I can see the status as below -

Eligibility: Met

Criminality: Passed

Medical: Passed
Misrepresentation:
Other Reqs:
Final:
After that nothing till date.

My queries are as below -

  • It seems to me that R10 and 11.2 checks are done and over with. Is my reading of this correct?
  • It doesn't seem to mention anywhere about a transfer to NDVO. What does that mean? Does it mean that my application could be delayed further than the July-September timeline I was looking at?
  • It also does not seem to mention anything specific about PoF. Can I assume that passed as well since 11.2 says "Met"?
  • My proof of funds was a little touch-and-go at the time of submission. Do I need to pre-emptively submit a new PoF to them since the CAD-INR exchange rate has depreciated since I submitted my application (assuming that my interpretation is wrong and they've not looked at PoF yet)?

Thanks in advance.

I believe so

look for paper file transfer, if it is not there then yet to be transferred

  • It also does not seem to mention anything specific about PoF. Can I assume that passed as well since 11.2 says "Met"?
pof will be checked by a more senior ranking officer Analyst / Visa Officer in the next stage most probably at LVO

  • My proof of funds was a little touch-and-go at the time of submission. Do I need to pre-emptively submit a new PoF to them since the CAD-INR exchange rate has depreciated since I submitted my application (assuming that my interpretation is wrong and they've not looked at PoF yet)?
Usually they will follow the lock-in date rate but it is always better to have some buffer, if you are very concerned you can resubmit via CSE


Thanks in advance.

Dear Seniors & Friends,

Can we order a new GCMS Note while another is in-progress? Actually I ordered my 2nd GCMS Note on 20th June but due to some confusion at IRCC end they put my request on hold, although I have replied to their e-mail with desired information but I assume my this (2nd) GCMS Note will take more then normal time.

Please advise should I order my 3rd GCMS on 20 July (One month after my 2nd GCMS Note)?
