see the timeline below for someone Singapore outland have similar timeline like our own and you see DM and where is ours??

Outland Spousal Sponsorship (Singapore VO) || App sent: 26 April, 2017 || App received: 28 April, 2017 || AOR1: May 30, 2017
AOR-Sponsor: May 31, 2017 || Application Linked: May 31, 2017 || Sponsorship Approval: June 07, 2017 || Add. Docs Uploaded: June 14, 2017
File transferred to Singapore VO: June 30, 2017 || AOR2: July 16, 2017 || Med Req: September 26, 2017 || Med Pass: September 28,2017 || BGC Started: October 09, 2017
Decision made in ecas: November 02, 2017 (morning) || PPR email: November 02, 2017 (late night)
LOL! Wawu! Everything here is THE SAME with my timeline up until BGC! Ahhh. I even got sponsorship approval June 01. These people DO NOT like us! That is my own conclusion o but not to worry, they can keep their "like". I shall keep firing them with prayers. They will know NO PEACE till they do things the right way. What manner of discrimination is this?

My username was wunmiakoda. Dunno how its turned to olawunmif
Avo no go kill me after PPR and police clearance etc .I checked Gckey and it says background in progress ,last week it said not applicable all I can do is laugh so I don't send off an angry email .e no easy o na wa. Avo Don suffer me
I'm wondering if the "not applicable" means that the Police Clearance they have has expired and is thus no longer applicable. Mine says the same. I'll see if it toggles to "in progress" after we submit the clearance.

I’m guessing my husband and I have to wait for his FBI certificate comes in before Accra will do anything again ..
yeah, I suspect so. Does your background check say "not applicable" too?

HEllo everyone. Im mostly a silent observer here maybe cos i have nothing to offer much. The waiting game is killing. I rewuested for my gcms notes early oct and it came in today. To say the least i cant decipher all thats written in there but i see criminality and security as NOT STARTED and medical as IN PROGRESS. This is major disheartneing for me cos i submitted my papers on jan 3rd and same was received on the 13th and sent to accra. We used the old forms and method tho as id done my medicals and police clearance since oct 2016 and to see that its in progess breaks my heart. I mean people who submitted in april have gotten medical request and even passed. Everyday i check my mails ceremoniously waiting for a miracle and sometimes i feel ive been forgotten, was waiting for the gcms notes as i intend sending a mail to the minister and pm and whoever i can. Its about time o made noise. Its 11months now and if medicals is still in progress, den what hope do i have. Sorry for the long rant but im so upset tonight.
@olawunmif there's a whole thread on how to decipher the gcms notes. the agents speak in code. e.g. when the one in Canada sends your file and sets certain fields to "not started" it means they did a quick check in candada and found no issues: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/gcms-notes-well-explained-has-never-before-until-now.390292/ .

It is an old thread so you have to tease through whether some of the fields or processes have changed.

happy reading:)

The wait is freaking crazy .. we have being waiting now for 14 month and more . My hubbys FBI certificate is going to take 12weeks .. not even sure what will happen to my hubby Application now .. coz they promise to finalize all 2016 applicator before the end of this year
Man! 12 weeks in addition to their turnaround time for PUM? I pray that it comes before the 12 weeks. We've been waiting for my hubby's from his country of residence for almost 6 weeks now. We ordered it before we got PPR hoping it would be here by the time PPR came, but still no luck..

That’s crazy
Did they ask for PPR and FBI clearance at the same time

No it says
Your application is in progress
Don’t no why
because as @Ugoswife mentioned, it says "not applicable" for some of us. So I was wondering if it says that if your Police clearance has expired and you have been asked to submit a new one.

I think it changes when they have something to tell you about your application whether approved or extra docs etc. That's the trend I've notices anyway. I just feel like they either have a backlog on emails or the person who is responsible for sending those correspondence isn't on seat that's why even @tender hasn't gotten PUM.
because as @Ugoswife mentioned, it says "not applicable" for some of us. So I was wondering if it says that if your Police clearance has expired and you have been asked to submit a new one.

He surely needs FBI Clearance from the US. That is what CIC requires.
