understanding GCMS notes

[PavS]

I got my GCMS notes..

It says NRT FBI Clearance: Not on file RCMP:
NRT Criminality Pending FBI*2

Next notes say that:
Request Letter sent for FBI.

I didnt submit my PCC during the initial submission. Later I had submitted my USA PCC.
I didnt receive any letter from CIC.

What does "Request Letter Sent for FBI" means? Do they request any clearance from FBI directly?

Oh..Ok. Thanks. Even if it is related to criminal activity how come so many post here link it to the job verification.
Also they asked me for my RCMP on May 1 which i submitted same day. Could this be related to that request as the notes were printed April 24.

This is not security. Security investigations come under s15. S16 is related to criminal investigations.

For how long are you stuck on ip2. Its been a month and a week for me on ip1 (ip2 dont apply to me as i am an outland)

I've been on IP2 since end of March. Also just like your notes I could see info sharing with USA, however that part of the process was completed quickly with NLT completed by early April.

How many entries have you got for security screening in activities section

 

[rg74]

CEC, AOR - 14 FEB, Medical pass & IP1 since Mar 12 , RCMP submitted - May 1. After that no progress in account.

Finally got off from call to CIC
Today's status
Eligibility - Recommended Pass
Medical - Pass
Criminality- In progress
Security- Not started

Any idea regarding recommended pass ??

The GCMS notes created on 24 April had Eligibility as Not Started and no mention on R10 & 11.2 on agents notes in the end of the report.

Just wanted some clarity on recommended pass for eligibility.

Thanks for replying, G.

Actually i have no such background. I have three activities pertaining to security screening apart from the one security related activity.

In the first security screening activity status was not started (and it was not redacted.) The next two are hidden under s15.

Lastly do you know what officer implies by saying this: 'employment documents reviewed but not verified'. He ''passed'' my eligibility and ''Selection'' from ''recommended pass''.

I understand Recommend Pass is normal if security is still pending (as you can only pass eligibility if security is OK)... No idea what they mean the it was reviewed but not verified, perhaps they're also investigating your work experience but at the time the officer made his comment the investigation was still pending.

Well I have passed it as per my notes on 13th april. Officer who passed it made the observation I quoted.
Please note my recommended pass came in midfeb.

And my security screening was triggered the same day when my case officer "passed" my eligibility(13 april ).

Hey Guys,

I ordered my GCMS notes and the last notes mentions this. what does it mean aside from requiring the RCMP PCC.

**OFFICER REVIEW** -APPLICATION: <deleted application number> FOSS/GCMS NAI FAMILY COMPOSITION: Married (M/C on
file) - No prior relationships/children declared Proof of relationship reviewed. Satisfied PA and Spouse are in a
bonafide relationship. No concerns. Identity established via provided documents *****ADMISSIBILITY*****
CRIMINALITY: PA: PASSED, NRT - All
required PCs/RCMP Screening *** RCMP Screening Fingerprints
required***

 

[shaheerjaved]

And my security screening was triggered the same day.

@g126
On a sidenote I have s16 since my fist gcms notes which were generated on 23rf of feb in the same place as yours in addition to where program analyst notes are. But after 7 days to the notes which i presumes are from program analyst, case analyst allotted me a recommended pass.

Not true. My eligibility status is passed, but security pending.

How many entries have you got for security screening in activities section

I see 3 activities for Security screening. First one was "Not started". The 2x since then are blanked out.

Hi

According to my latest notes, there is one alarming thing: Under security, which obviously is reacted by virtue of s15, i have another sub-activity with the name of security screening going on. In activities section, this sub-activity has three entries (all redacted) along with the usual security stuff.

I have googled it and found very few cases with this sort of security check, and those who have it in their notes have been wating or had to wait for a year before they got hold of the PPR. Can somebody explain the significance and implications of security screening in terms of processing of pr.

I saw this post, makes for gloomy reading:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/aor-july-2016-join-here.432787/page-81#post-5793326

I have security screening - and here is my understanding after extensive research:

Applicants with a particularly concerning background (such as a specific natural origin, or a military background, or frequent travel to certain countries) usually warrants the visa officer to request a security screening to be performed. This means that in addition to a quick security database check, the applicant's entire file gets sent to several security agencies in Canada (CSIS, CBSA, and RCMP) and the applicant's profile undergoes an in-depth check with includes getting in touch with the applicant's country of origin, and any other countries the applicant has lived in. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but from my experience (and of others, that I know of,) this is an unusually long process, that, in most cases, is stretching beyond a year (I know of many people who have security screening, and have been waiting for longer than a year in Express Entry.)

It is also my understanding, that CSIS is usually the quickest to return the results of these queries to IRCC, with the delay being mostly due to CBSA taking an extremely long time.

I wish I had better news - but that's how it is!

Cheers and good luck to all,
msf

Anybody here with fresh GCMS notes can tell me whats the trend for R10 passing for FSW Outland? How many days since AOR?

 

[shaheerjaved]

In January 2017, it took 15_25 days for fsw outlands with no pnp. Now it will take I guess a bit more owing to huge amounts of it itas issued in last 4 months.
