Hi,

I ordered my GCMS notes and noted that since about 6 months there weren't any notes by an Agent/Officer.
Does this mean that my application is just sitting in the pile and not being looked at?

What can I do to get them to provide an update or expedite the processing if it has crossed the usual timeframe of 6 months?

It seems that R10 and criminality has been completed. Eligibility not started. What does page no 2 or 3 says about the status of eligibility and security?

I have the same problem. My file hasn't been touched since September last year. I spoke with an agent this morning and she mentioned there is nothing I could do other than waiting. There is a due date on file for August 13th, 2019. Said on that date the agent will pick up my file again. There is no concern according to my gcms notes. I am not under SS as CSIS don't have any record of me. Its just a waiting game.

Your eligibility is under Required Review by senior case officer, as they have calculated your CRS to 411 whereas 451 is the minimum required for that round.

The case officer has raised questions on your Canadian Experience of 6 months.

They have already considered your IELTS score and ECA points, otherwise it wouldn't had even reached 411, don't you think?

R10 is different from Eligibility and the review required raised by them is on your Canadian experience and not on IELTS, ECA or Indian work experience.

It appears that you applied under CEC, however, minimum 1 year of Canadian experience is required to be eligible under CEC and your GCMS records indicate that you have only 6 months of canadian experience.

I have 2 different roles/experiences adding upto 1 year with the same company..(6 months in 2017 and 6 months in 2018).. I see what you mean by " otherwise it wouldn't had even reached 411" however in the notes where officer says "I have reviewed the below for the points..... they have not mentioned IELTS and indian Degree (ECA).....

I have 6 months experience as Client technology analyst and 6 months as production support anaylst... both with same company....

attached - paystubs from 2017 and 2018 and job letters and company attested work experience letter......

I have the 1 year experience thats required for CEC....... :(
