Oh yes, and the free baseball games by just looking out of the windows!
canadapeach, I don't see you on the Buffalo spreadsheet so I added you. Please let me know if you want me to take you off.
No problem, that's cool! Thanks for looking out.  |

Sounds promising, nhl1011!
From my GCMS, they requested IMS for my meds results and IMS came back after 2 weeks.
They might have received then, since they requested on march 23rd  Thanks for letting me know. |

Just that may be I'll share what I found in my GCMS notes...
Note: My GCMS request was mailed on 19Mar (at the same time I sent in my FBI). The request date shown on the GCMS notes was 22Mar, and they emailed me the notes on 20Apr. I got my PPR on 11Apr.
Processing Time:
1) Sponsor Eligibility assessment - 1 day
2) PA Criminality assessment (RCMP screening) - 1 day
3) PA Eligibility assessment (Relationship is genuine) - 1 week
5) PA Security assessment (FBI, other police certs) - 1 day+?
6) PA Medical assessment - 1 day
7) 'Wait-time':
a) From CPC-M receiving the application to first opening the application - 3 months
b) File transfer between CPC-M & Buffalo - 3.5 weeks
c) File transfer between Buffalo & NY - 2.5 weeks (noted as "TFR-Workload (re-)distribution" in GCMS).
d) From completing PA eligibility assessment to emailing PA for additional documents - 3 weeks (GCMS not showing anything done in between)
e) From requesting IMS for Medical results to results coming back - 2 weeks
f) Waiting for additional documents from PA - 4 weeks+ (not VO's problem. And Hong Kong Police would not process the cert until receiving a formal letter from VO)
Note: They didn't seem to work according to 'assessment due dates', but more on 'triggers', eg, my notes says:
- "when PCs come in, file to SEH for crim"
- "when meds come in and RPRF paid in Cda, ready for FDRL"
Regarding PA's Eligibility assessment:
The GCMS mentions PA's background, Sponsor's marriage history, how and when PA/Sponsor met, the dates (year) the relationship started/engaged/married, which family members attended the wedding, proofs that show ongoing relationship (travels & photos in my case).
Hope this gives some insights on what they're looking for, and helps on setting our expectations.
My eligibility is passed and they put a comment as well...relationship is genuine and these are done 1 month ago... |

To love is to share life together
to build special plans just for two
then smile with pride
as one by one, dreams all come true.

Dang I forgot about the 4 month long Spring Buffalo Wing and Beer Fling. Of course it all makes sense now. You can't type CORPs and PPRs and the rest when you hands are slick with sauce.

Does anyone know which boxes you check on the GCMS form? I am a bit confused because all of the guides appear to be for people outside of Canada and I don't want this check to be intrusive on the file where it causes delays.
Section A
I checked Privacy Act, English, Email, and Yes.
Section B
I am not sure if I should check Electronic file or physical, and then after that I am not sure if I should check status of application or Permanent Residence under Immigration File in Canada or both?
I know if you check the wrong things it can delay your file, so does anyone know which boxes that I shouldn't be checking also?
