Just got my first round of GCMS notes that I ordered back on May 3, so just a few days over the 30 day mark probably because we had a holiday a few weeks ago. The date on it was June 1 even though I just got the email tonight. Didn’t really tell me much more then what I already know. Basically everything is “in progress”, it’s at the Montréal office, and it hasn’t been looked at in awhile.

So I applied for my PR card renewal today given it expires in 6 months and there's no chance of becoming a citizen by then. Hopefully they process this on time.

I believe things might be moving on your end. As I got my GCMS notes and eveything was "Not started", so if yours say "In process", that might mean they have started doing something at least.

Yes, I made a mistake the GCMS notes say "not started", my online tracker says it's "in progress". I was able to speak with an IRCC agent and they confirmed it hasn't been started yet, which makes me a little sad and upset, but what can I do.

They sent me on June 1st the notification that my test should happen between June 10 and 30. I am still waiting for that letter with instructions they mentioned on that note

Just recived my GCMS notes and surprise surprise... Nothing has been started. As well, I believe my application is still in Sydney. It states "Primary Office: CPC Sydney" & "Secondary Office: Mississauga IRCC". Oh well, nothing to do but be patient I suppose.

Do you guys know if changing address would have any impact on the processing time? Would it go back in the queue and extend the timeline further? Also any idea which one is the processing office for Oakville, ON residents? Would it be Mississauga or Hamilton?
