I have a question to guys who recieved gcms recently,did you recieve your gcms notes generated close to your notes delivery dates or not
As of now the GCMS notes are generated apps. 2 weeks before they are released, and not the day on which they are requested.

Hi Legalfalcon,
I claimed two years Canadian work experience. The case analyst didn't give me any point for that probably because my job duties are in a separate document. My eligibility is "review required" in this GCMS notes. I submitted additional document like NOA, T4 as additonal proof of work experience through CSE after I received this GCMS notes. Do you think the officer will reconsider my case, or should I create a new EE profile into the pool again in case this application is rejected?
Thanks.

Based on these GCMS you should raise another CSE and address, and give specific reference to the note and mention the date. T4 and IT returns are not mandatory documents. I don't think there is a need to create another profile yet.

No i dnt think so they are waiting for any thing except it can be result of security screening because some details of security screening show they have not sent anything to partners
Perhaps they put on hold to wait for security screening results
Plz comment on it

Hello, could somebody please help me interpret this:

**Officer’s review** GCMS/FOSS: no adverse information FAMILY COMPOSITION SINGLE No prior relationship or dependents declared Identity established via provided documents. Experience -Under review Employment documents reviewed R75 (2) MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS- Under review R76 (1) SELECTION CRITERIA- POINTS- Under review SETTLEMENT FUNDS-Under review A11.2 & SELECTION PASSED ADMISSIBILITY:
Criminality: PA: All police certificates on application received: NRT Meds passed and valid RPRF Paid

Everything looks under review but at the same time, it seems to say A11.2 passed. I thought it couldn't be both.

My timeline:

FSW Outland
AOR 25th January
Visa Office: London
Status: Interview Scheduled

Hello Legalfalcon,
I got my new notes generated on 29 June, thanks for Get GCMS!
My situation has moved forward and I am happy with that given I am 7.5 months in the process. I have a question regarding one of the notes which is added by LVO.

Here is the status:
Eligibility: Passed
Security: Not Started (although on 12 July my profile BG status changed to "we are processing your background checks")
Criminality: Passed
Medical: Passed

In one of the notes, the following is written:
Dependents: the applicant has not identified any qualifying dependents for examination, other than those noted on Imm8/Imm5406. Should additional dependants be sponsorsed at a later date they will be excluded as per 117(9)(d).

1. What does the above mean?
2. My medical was taken on 4 December 2016. Given we are in July, and I expect that the PPR will come later in August or September (hopefully), do you think another medical will be required?

thanks.

See the last few pages of your notes for the notes from the agent. From your status, everything seems to be on tracks. Your eligibility has been recommended passed, and after an agent reviews it, it will change to passed after which your Security (BGC) will start.

If you would like, you can order another set of notes in a few weeks which should have the update on eligibility

From your documents the A11.2 is passed, but there seems to be something that IRCC is concerned about and that is why you have "interview scheduled" Once you are through with it, you will most likely get the PPR.

1. What does the above mean?
You have not declares any dependants in your application except those on the additional family information form. If you have any other dependants, you will not be able to sponsor them later.

2. My medical was taken on 4 December 2016. Given we are in July, and I expect that the PPR will come later in August or September (hopefully), do you think another medical will be required?
In many cases an extension is given to most people. When you reach the 1 year mark, send a CSE and inform that 1 year has passed and you would like to request for an extension.

thanks.

Hello, please I would like to find out if there is a specific time security check starts i.e. is it only when eligibility is passed that security begins

In most cases yes, but for some PNP applicants, it starts early.

Hi legalfalcon,

I have got a request for additional docs (nothing connected to NOC, just schedule A and 5604 form) from the local visa office. Does it mean that my NOC has been verified? I was worried about the relevance of the NOC I chose. Just wondering whether the fact that my case is in the local visa office give me a good sign... though I am ready to order the next set of GCMS notes to check my status in more details, your thoughts would me much appreciated.

Thanks
