I just got my GCMS notes... And I'm not happy about it.
I filed my application on March 25, 2013 and my husband was approved as a sponsor on April 17.
Eligibility: not started
Security: not started
Criminality: in progress
Medical: passed
The truth is that I don't find the notes helpful at all.
Only new information that I have is that RCMP is doing the security check. And there is no update on that since April 29 (it says RCMP screening - no reportable trace)
Now, my police certificate from Croatia is almost expired (January 29, 2014), do I have to send a new one?
Also, what is the difference between security and criminality? Who performs the security check?
I'm very disappointed because there is no update for my case since April 23, just that RCMP screening. I don't understand that.
Also, RCMP initiated the security check on April 23, so more than 8 months ago. I can not understand why this is taking so long. My husband thinks it is because I went to Tunisia as a visitor for 7 days, but if that is the case, what about people who've traveled all over the world?!
And one more thing. In the notes it says: "Received FCP sponsorship application. No biodata found on the back of at least one passport size photograph. Therefore, no CSC date entered. " Does anyone know what that means? Can that affect anything? I took those pictures in Croatia and there they don't put date and place at the back of the photos. Should I take pictures again in Canada with the date at the back and send them?
