    Forgot to mention previous visa refusal :( Please help

    Consult a lawyer. You need professional assistance, and not general guidance from forum.

    Not sure what your question is. If you are concerned about the time, family sponsorships can take 10-12 months. Also, it will vary from application to application. It's too early for you to worry.

    There is no way to escalate. Delays with IRCC are common and as per IRCC's own statistics, 30% of all GCMS notes are delayed as per last year's data and before that, 50% were delayed. Just wait.

    I am stuck at Eligibility Review Required.. Need Help

    That is what that note indicates to check for your prior refusals. IRCC will review the reasons for prior refusals, including for misrepresentations, and checking if the information you provided previously and not matches.

    Do you have a prior visa / permit refusal which you have indicated in your application?

    GCMS notes are the same from IRCC and CBSA. However, each agency makes different redactions. Most CBSA notes will not redact security screening details, and some other aspects of the notes. For details see https://shorturl.at/me8bY

    CBSA and CSIS only become relevant after your eligibility has passed, and you are stuck in security screening. If your eligibility is not passed, the application has not even started security screening and has not been sent to CBSA / CSIS.

    Each application progresses at its own pace. There is no first-come, first-served when it comes to IRCC. Since your AoR is April 2025, wait for another 2-3 months, and then you can request GCMS notes to see the processing details. No need to be concerned.

    Ordering GCMS after PR approval?

    Access to Information for any records has no impact on the processing of your PR application, irrespective of whether it is in progress or has been concluded. Many people request GCMS notes after they have received a decision on the PR application to know what happened out of curiosity, and...

    Study Visa and Express Entry?? (good question)

    When you apply for an TRV, you have to convince the visa officer that you will leave Canada after the purpose of stay is complete. If you have another PR application (EE or family sponsorship) that is also filed or is pending when the application for TRV is filed, the criteria remains the same...
