Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.

About GCMS notes - the website doesn't look secure and the person on the other end who orders them gets to view your info - which makes me uncomfortable. I am not comfortable ordering them. I will just wait it out. Its already 70 days. Another 110 days.

 

[phoenixsong]

I don’t think that is the case. Most of is have application in Montreal from day 1. May be a few of us are in that additional review required category but it is hard to believe everyone here is in that category.

Hopefully you are right!

Hopefully you are right!

Yeah our AORs are relatively recent anyway. I'm hoping for good news for our Feb / Mar / April AOR folks. Any movement on their cases is also good news for us.

Well may be you are the first case from Montreal which gets processed faster. We can only hope!! So let's keep it alive. Everyday I sign in this forum I hope for good news from our April friends @smcan2014 and @Rijo02 ..
Haven't seen you in a while @Rijo02 ... Hope all is well!

 

[strikeharsh]

‍Is Montreal VO that notorious?

Hope so but by looking at the pending cases in that thread it looks quite improbable
Moreover, it been almost two months since AOR for me as well which means the usual trend continues. bit worried now

Well our data May be limited but most of us are waiting at IP1. We haven’t seen a case of a quick PPR from Montreal yet.

 

[vish97]

@vish97 @NandiniAS have you received your GCMS notes? It would be great if you could share your findings with us. Thanks !!

For others I would request you to kindly order GCMS notes as well. I don’t know if it will help nudge the Montreal folks in to action.

Thanks for sharing @vish97 ... Now I'm wondering if I mistakenly answered some stat question as Yes

 

[vish97]

what kind of impact does previous visa rejection will have on application ?

i had h1B denial once , mentioned it in application , now the application (eligibility ) went into review required due to this.

i hear this stories that once eligibility is flagged "review required" then their is no guarantee of 6 month time line , it could go will beyond that , i hope that is not the case.

apart from this " Statutory Question" reviewed required , everything looks good with eligibility A11.2 met , R10 : ok , Funds : Met , experience : met .

also in notes analyst mentioned "CRIMINALITY :CIO RECOMMEND REVIEW REQUIRED FOR STATUTORY QUESTION" , but i don't why they kept my eligibility in "review required" if it was categorized as "criminality"

I have similar notes though my file is at CPC-Ottawa. Program assistant at CIO wrote on 3rd July review required for stat question (UK student visa refusal) and criminality recommendation: review required, then on 18th July Case Analyst at CPC-Ottawa probably reviewed it because he put his recommendation as "Recommend Passed". Also in page two under Assessment it says Eligibility: Recommended Pass.
I don't think IRCC has different policies for different visa offices. I am sure your file also will be processed as normal as it happens in Ottawa. Hang in there, by October most of us should be cleared. Good Luck!
