Dear Qorax,
Hope you are doing good, My Ecas got updated and it says ' We started processing your application on 7 June' 2012' .
Does it mean that VO is satisfied and all Background checks, Security checks done? Am I cleared to issue MR? Please advise on this. It will be appreciated. Thank you.

Regards
No. It means ur file is out of the wait-queue and reprocessing has commenced. It could take 3-5 months hereon for meds.

Dear Qorax,

In case if you haven't find my post, here are the details: i got GCMS yesterday but i am unable to make conclusion.. can you please provide your valuable input based on following information, i will really appreciate that:


here are the notes in descending order (most recent first)

1. 2012/05/08: Email address corrected
2. 2012/05/08: Request for status (i sent email to Catherine on this date, she said my file will go to Ottawa for Background check).
3. 2011/12/12: Label:Adm (cutted off text) and Text field is blank.
4. 2012/12/03: Pakistan PC for subject;no record (I was missing my wife's Police Clearance certificate and i sent them back in Nov: 2011)
5. 2011/11/25: Received check (RPRF).
6. 2011/10/12: Passed Eligibility.
7. 2011/10/11: Additional document; spouse PC required.

That's all for notes. I already paid RPRF so i don't see that note or something like ready for visa.

Paper File History
--------------------

The file is physically at Ottawa-CPP and they received this file electronically from Buffalo on 2012/05/09 (after a day when i sent email to Catherine) and file was physically transferred to Ottawa on 2012/05/16.

Activity (same order as in GCMS)

1. Security screening for my wife, status:blank, updated date:blank
2. Security for my wife, status:blank, updated date:blank
3. Security Screening for me, status:Not Started, updated date:2011/12/12
4. Security for me, status:blank, updated date:blank
5. Security for me, status:Not Started, updated date:2011/12/12
6. Security for my wife, status:blank, updated date:blank
7. Security for my wife, status:blank, updated date:blank
8. Criminality for my wife, status:blank, updated date:blank
9. Criminality for me, status:passed, updated date:2011/12/12
10. Security for me, status:passed, updated date:2011/12/12
11. Eligibility for me, status: Passed, updated date:2011/10/12
12. Medical for my wife, status:blank, updated date:blank.
13. Medical for me, status: Passed, updated: 2011/10/05
14.RCMP Screening for me, status: No Reportable Trace, updated: 2011/06/17

Do you notice, repetition and no:11 says Security Passed for myslef where as all other related activities above it for myself regarding security are blank. Did you got kind of same GCMS

I am unable to conclude from GCSM, what do you say.

Thanks.

Ok no worries sir, to sum up my GCMS shows security: passed, criminality: passed, medical: passed, eligiblity: passed but all thes field are empty under my wife's section.. does that mean they haven't started? even medical field under her section is blank, however we did medical together and I am principal applicant. Last month they transferred my case to Ottawa-CPP from buffalo they said its because they will do background check... Does above GCMS means they are done with background check? Even under my activity section i find couple of security and security screenig sections and most of them are blank except one which says PASSED. Today i got a reply from Ottawa-CPP: that's what they replied:

"Please note that your case has been transferred from Buffalo to the CPP-Ottawa office and is currently in the process of being reviewed by an officer.
Our office will communicate with you, should further information be required. "

Any idea what kind of review they are talking about? I will really appreciate your input.

Thanks.

Ur b/g & security seems to be cleared, while ur spouse's might be ongoing or they haven't yet logged. That response from CPP suggests ur file is 'in queue'... pls give it some more time... u r almost there.

Thanks Qorax, i really appreciate your response. It has been 18months i have filled my application and from GCMS it looks like they didn't touch my file after Decembere 2011. They started working on my file again when i sent an email to Program Manager at Buffalo on May 8, 2012. So do you think is it good to approach Minister, i have already approached Minister and they got almost same resposne as on my GCMS plus Minister office asked me to approach them again if I don't hear anything from CPP until end of June. I am only worried about my Medical which are valid until July 18,2012.

Here is my ecas:

Application received: 7th December 2010
We started processing your application: 12th October 2012
Medical results have been received.


Thanks.

Sorry its 12th October 2011, i am under Economic class and queue period when applied in Buffalo from Canada is 15 months (on average) so my application is already 3 months late based on average time specified. Plus i see one Assignment section on my GCMS with the due date of 1st March 2012. Folks on forums says this the best date of finalizing the application, is it correct?

Thanks.
