Hi legalfalcom,

How do I know when my security screening was started. My GCMS notes only show security screening one time under admisibilities section. It does not show any date there? Where do I need to check if it has started or not and at what date?
You will need to contact CSIS and CBSA for it.

Dear @legalfalcon,

I have got my second set of GCMS notes and Eligibility, medical and criminality all passed. But I got worried about the following:

1. s19.1 written at the top of many pages :((( I saw you wrote about s15.1, which is also present in my notes, bu I could not find anything on 19.1. Should I be worried?
S19 is for the personal information hidden, when you do not get your spouse to sign the consent from, so the dependents spouse's info is all hidden.


19 Personal Information

Marginal note:personal information
  • 19 (1) Subject to subsection (2), the head of a government institution shall refuse to disclose any record requested under this Act that contains personal information as defined in section 3 of the Privacy Act.
Where disclosure authorized
(2) The head of a government institution may disclose any record requested under this Act that contains personal information if

  • (a) the individual to whom it relates consents to the disclosure;

  • (b) the information is publicly available; or

  • (c) the disclosure is in accordance with section 8 of the Privacy Act

2. My case is with LVO for a month or so. I have already received 3 requests for additional docs from LVO and submitted what they asked. The part against security is blank, but I guess my application is in Security check now, right?
3. Almost all info about my daughter, who is 16 years old is with 15.1 /16.1 or 19.1 marks and hidden... I am kind of confused why is that? Should have I got her consent for GCMS notes?
S19 is for the personal information hidden, when you do not signor a release of dependent child's info, the information is hidden. Either of the parents have to sign section D of the consent.

4. Under activity type i can see "Non compliance" with status: not started which is freaking me out... Id doesnt sound like a good thing, and I could not find a lot of people with the same thing in their GCMS notes. What do you think this can be in reference to?
Can you share a snapshot of it?

5. My husband`s security status is: security screening :( is it the status that everybody is afraid of? and the one that can take quite long to process? :(
If it is SS, then yes.

I would appreciate greatly if you could shed some light on any of the questions.

thanks in advance

Legalfalcon, could you please share your thoughts about my situation?

According to gcms notes generated on July 25 my file was transferred to Warsaw vo on May 29. On August 10 I crossed 6 months and contacted Warsaw vo to ask the status of my file. They answered:"Please contact visa office in Sydney". After that I raised cse, e-mailed Ottawa (cause I don't have any contacts of Sydney vo), but received no answer. Finally I called IRCC and they informed me that they can't provide any info on my file cause it is in Warsaw vo! I have ordered gcms notes again but right now I can't figure out what's going on with my file.

Is it possible that it was sent from Warsaw back to Sydney? Why would they do it? And if so why IRCC told me that it is in Warsaw?

P.S. There is one more applicant from Warsaw vo who was also told to contact Sydney (same situation as mine).
It does not matter where the file is as long as it is progressing. Focus on the stages, not on office. When a file is transferred, it has to be accepted by VO and a notification sent. If that has not been sent, then the transfer is not complete, that could be the case.

Ok, thank you for your reply! I hope gcms will clarify the issue and I hope the file is progressing.

@legalfalcon,

thanks a lot for clarifying on 19.1. It is strange coz my husband did sign the Consent form. As for the daughter, I did not, but somehow my first set of notes were perfectly ok and my daughter`s info was not hidden. But I will keep it in mind when ordering GCMS notes next time, thank you!

As for the Non-compiance, it appears two times in two different places almost at the end of the GCMS notes

@legalfalcon could you please help.:
In our GCMS it says, Eligibilty -passed, Medical-passed, criminality-passed, Final: Approved. then there is Assignment to DM16340 by DM16340 and Due Date: 107/09/16. Does it mean they will send the PPR on 16th Sep or could they send it sooner than that. Also in the following pages there is a section called "Notes 1" dated August 17th 2017 which goes something like this :
"Officer review -Please send PPT Letter and request RPRF eligibility passed, criminality passed, medical passed, rprf pending, meds valid to 12/31/2017."

When do you think we can get our PPR?

Your application will have a final review and you will get the PPR in the next batch. The due date is irrelevant and most PPRs are sent before that.

Thank you!
The above sub activities are for the eligibility, and based on whether your are FSW, PNP or CEC this will differ.

thank you! If my Eligibility is written as Passed, can I assume that "non-compliance" note is not relevant anymore? Oh and I am FSW Outland
Though it is very strange, seems my Eligibility passed several days before they asked more additional documents from me (for the third time actually)...

If your eligibility has passed, and there are no concerns in the note, no need to worry.
