    GCMS - RC-8090

    Oh I once said IRCC just use it as arbitrary as they want, and someone came at me with pitchforks saying it's not...like how is it not when half the time when IRCC can't even tell you why is it non-routine.

    Vancouver office- Citizenship

    May be I am getting a little tunnel visioned, but I seem to see the Vancouver office slowly turning into RC-8090 with some people's experience of delays

    March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    AH! That I have experience with. I think it was around late 2023 I still didn't see any movement with my BG, so I requested GCMS notes and saw CBSA completed their check very early. Then I saw someone saying you can request for CSIS notes to see if the security check actually proceeded. I am not...

    I must have posted this link like 5 times in the last few days, but there's an actual definition of "non-routine citizenship application": Link.

    June 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Do you mind to share your timeline so may be someone can provide more help? My file is also with the Vancouver Processing Office and it's really not getting anywhere. Side note, have you applied for GCMS or CSIS notes? If you have, when and what do they say?

    April 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    1) Does the agent want to put in a reminder for you all depends on who picks up your call. I think I called 4 times and one time the agent was willing to do it. So, it's really by luck, but keep trying. 2) They use the "non-routine" excuse way too often. There's an actual definition of...

    March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    I think your MP office is just telling you whatever IRCC is telling them. Something similar happened to me when IRCC told my MP office that IRCC needs more time to look into my file, when the reality is the GCMS notes showed the tasks either completed or not started. So, how can they know they...

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    For my MP, yes. Once I sent them the email asking for help, they sent me a form to authorize them to contract IRCC on my behalf.

    PGP - New Interest to Sponsor Form - Reopen??

    They tried the first come first serve system before and that resulted in people paying homeless and organized groups to go camp and line-up for days and weeks. That prevented people who are honest and really in need for these programs to reunite with their families. Please oh please don't go...

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    My sig said most of it. On top of that, the first response IRCC gave to my MP's office was tell the client be patient, but my MP's office expects another update from IRCC by late May, so we'll see about that. Another thing was one of the recent calls I made to IRCC I got one of the handful of...

    PGP - New Interest to Sponsor Form - Reopen??

    I think half-measure is the right term, but honestly I couldn't care less for the people who didn't get picked in the 2020 pool - it's a lottery and has been described as such, it doesn't mean everyone will get picked. As I have mentioned before (may be in the PGP2024 thread), if IRCC had been...

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    January 2023 applicant here, just decided to check some other early 2023 threads. IRCC has a definition of "non-routine" citizenship applications: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1169&top=5 However, I don't think they actually follow their own definition half the time...

    PGP - New Interest to Sponsor Form - Reopen??

    I agree with the points about asking the country to bear the health care and welfare for population that's likely not going to contribute to the society via GDP and taxes is not all that reasonable. However, I think the system should be either everyone has access to the lottery (eg. not only the...
