IF you ordered your notes from GET GCMS <http://getgcms.com/> they will follow up on their own and keep you notified. When my notes were delayed, I sent an email to GET GCMS and asked them about what was happening. All my emails were replied and I was informed of when they had sent follow up emails to IRCC. As per what they informed me, they contacted IRCC, and when there was no response they sent emails to the corporate division of IRCC. I don't have their emails, but this is from what GET GCMS guys informed me.

You can contact them and see if they can help you. They are very helpful and usually revert within a few hours.
Thanks. But I think my representative applied from ATIP for me, not from GET GCMS.

Dear @ legalfalcon, I know that both my spouse and I are under SS. Today, I just got my gcms notes, and I noticed that on the second page, under "assessment" section, it shows "info sharing: complete" which is not shown in any previous notes. What does it mean? Could you please advise? Thank you.

Hi All

I received my GCMS notes, stating

Eligibility : Passed
Security :
HIRV :
Criminality :
Passed
Org Crime :
Medicals : Passed
Misrepresentation :
Other reqs:
Final :


My status on my profile is as follows,

Application status : We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility : We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Medical : Passed
Review of additional documents : We need more documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details.
Interview: You do not need an interview. We will let you know if this changes.
Biometrics : We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check : We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision : Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

I was asked for certain additional documents in August 2017, which I submitted in August 2017 (before the date required). These included details of my old passports, copy of letter of UK visa refusal (I was refused a visit visa to UK in Jan 2017 - I had clearly stated this in my application) and whether I had ever applied for a US visa (which I never have). I never received any further requests for additional documents after this.

Also important to note is that I had informed Canadian Immigration that I was expecting a new addition to the family by November 2017. My baby arrived this month and I am processing her paperwork (birth certificates, ID card, passport and visa as I reside in Dubai and need a residence visa here).

My AOR is 28-Feb-2018 and I am worried that my application is stuck. I understand that even if I do get an approval, I shall have to land before my medical expires (which is in early March 2018).

Can someone please help me out by telling me what my status is and what seems to be the delay.

If you have travelled to any partner nation like UK, US, NZ, Australia IRCC will share info to get your details. This is info sharing. Most often it is seen for US.

Based on your GCMS, your security is underway.

Most likely your application is stuck. That is when the GCMS notes are not released. Happened with me too. I ordered through GET GCMS and for once thought that they had some issues. But they ended up providing all information, all status requests they had filed. Eventually got to know that I was in SS, and IRCC does not even respond to status requests.

See if you can request GET GCMS to file a complaint with the Information Commissioner of Canada. Though its not covered in your fee you paid them, but in my case they were gracious enough to do it. That is how I got to know the SS and got my notes to after almost 100 days of filing. IRCC just sucks.

With my experience I can say that most GCMS notes are delayed because of IRCC not releasing it. There was a thread where an applicant never received her GCMS notes, even after 120 days. The best would be to work with GET GCMS and see what will be the best strategy. Filing a complaint with ICC is also an option and see if they can do it for you. It won't get you any immediate results, but no harm in trying.

Hope you get your notes soon.
