Hope you are in best of your health and spirit!

My AOR is 29th January 2020. I am in process for applying the gcms notes.
My brother is in Canada on student visa and I am making him designated representative (imm 5744).

Query:
For address column of representative, do I have to enter his Canada Address (current) or home address, as mentioned in his passport.

Assuming you did request your GCMS notes on September 7, the 30 days processing started on Sept 8 and would expire on

Hi Guys, I ordered GCMS notes in the first week of September but still haven't received them. Any idea what might be going on?
Section 7 of the Access to Information Act:

7 Where access to a record is requested under this Part, the head of the government institution to which the request is made shall, subject to sections 8 and 9, within 30 days after the request is received,

September 7 was a statutory holiday for labor day, and October 12 is a statutory holiday for Thanksgiving. When there are statutory holidays, delays of a few days can happen.

PR application submitted Sept 2019. GCMS notes requested sept 2020.
Current status per GCMS:
ASSESSMENTS:
Elig: Passed
Security: blank
HIRV: blank
Criminality: Passed
Org crime: blank
Medical: passed
Misrep.: blank
Info. sharing: Complete
Other reqs: blank
Final: blank

+ There is Security: 1 and Security: 2 (spouse) text with just basic information under 'SECURTIY' section (redacted)

'EE Eligibility: passed' was in Mar 2020. No progress since then.

Given those facts, can you help me understand what stage my application is? Is this in sec check?
Somewhere in those 210 pages of GCMS notes i did see some COVID related comment. Unable to recall where exactly. Any idea which section does that show in? I wish 'search' / 'find' feature worked on this pdf.

Raghu.

Based on your GCMS notes, your security is in progress. Make your your eligibility is passed. See my previous post on this here: #2,521

Since your security is blank, it most likely should be in progress. Security related info is always redacted under s15. to read on s 15 see https://bit.ly/34XEoM5

To read on security and the security screening manual see https://bit.ly/2H1gQh8

Not all GCMS notes have COVID pace.

Thanks for the response.
Eligibility does read 'Office review' so I guess we are good there. Do you know what section can I find Covid Pace thing? I did read it in my notes but just unable to locate again. Also covid pace with security screening being in progress would essentially mean we just don't know the lead time from here? Eligibility was cleared in Mar 2020.
