Good morning everyone ! I want to keep applying for notes since I got mine 95 days after and they were totally useless. It was basically my app scanned with stamps saying "received" and the dates. There were no comments or whatsoever. I am in Canada as a visitor but my passport wasn't stamped when I crossed the border, is there anyway I can proof I'm here and order them instead of dong it through my sponsor ?
Thanks in advance

What I found strange is that you say "It was basically my app scanned with stamps saying "received" and the dates."... Because when we got our notes there was just lots of sections and officer notes etc., but definitely not a scanned app. Are you sure you order the correct thing? Just in case, here is a thread dedicated to ordering notes: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/how-to-order-gcms-notes-step-by-step-process.513893/

WHY DM is taking time after BGC in process in NDVO.I am march 24 applicant.Its 20 days since my BGC is in process.When will i get DM? Any ideas.
As long as you are within 12 months of processing time, nobody will tell you for sure, immigration take all their time ...there are people from 2016 who didn't get DM yet.

Last night I received notification that my PR was approved (via email notification and logging into GCKey). The return envelope was processed in Ottawa yesterday afternoon (I used the Canada Post tracking number on the return envelope I sent with my passport copy), so I should be receiving the COPR by Monday.

Fellow spousal sponsorship sponsor waiting for a loved one to finally get their PR approved so that we can begin our lives together in Canada! Hoping in time for a white Christmas in Canada... but we'll see if that is possible or not! A follow up chest X-ray on November 8th for my husband the applicant, and then hoping and praying that a decision made and PPR will follow soon after in time to catch our already booked December 22nd flight to Canada!

Just a heads up that the consolidated 2017 outland spousal sponsorship excel spreadsheet is up and running again and "editable". Sorry about any confusion if you may have visited when it was only viewable for 5 days a couple weeks ago. That was an unintentional mistake and I'm sorry about that... Please update your status so everything is up-to-date, and helpful for others to see average processing times :) (If you no longer want to be on the spreadsheet, feel free to delete your information as well.)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dJsaLvHra4173xPfRwZbXo73hsxoXaLSJ5-tcm7qnJI/edit#gid=497378774

Good luck with all those that are still waiting!

Thanks!

PPR received today on my wife's birthday! Timeline updated!
Congrats!!! That is probably the best birthday gift ever that you could receive this year!!!! I'm hoping for a similar gift, but a second anniversary gift of getting DM and/or PPR on November 14th! :) Based on GCMS notes, my husbands eligibility and criminality have both passed back in July, the same day they requested his medical, but we are just waiting on his chest x-ray to pass since he had some spots of his lungs unfortunately... My husband goes for his 3-month follow up chest X-ray on November 8th, and we're flying to Bangkok and taking a bus to the beach a couple days later to celebrate our 2nd anniversary... hoping to be able to drop off our passport in Bangkok on the way back from celebrating our anniversary at the beach! :)

P.S. Thanks for updating the spreadsheet! I do most of the changing colours and moving lines in order for the spreadsheet, so it makes me really happy when I see other people's applications progressing, but especially when there is DM and PPR! Very exciting for you! :)

It sounds like you might have ordered your full application instead of the "Notes in Electronic File"? I have ordered both of those, and agree with you that the full application is basically useless since it is just SOME of your application scanned in with received stamps on it! I ordered the full application to see what my paid immigration lawyer had submitted... other than one cover letter, I didn't really get to see anything different from what I had already sent her, and none of the relationship evidence was scanned in either (which is what I had wanted to see what she had actually sent in out of everything I had sent her!).

If you want to see the notes that the immigration officer wrote about your file, than it would be good to reapply immediately and apply for the "Notes in Electronic File" this time around! Much, much more helpful for knowing how your file is progressing!
