ALL ABOUT GCMS - HOW TO ORDER, READ, & GENERAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED

[Carly44]

No need to worry. GCMS is your right and you obtained them through a person who is legally entitled to receive them on your behalf. No one will question how and where you got them. Access to Information Act gives all people a right to obtain a copy of their information with the federal government. You have done nothing wrong.

Petfect; appreciate your help
I was just reading up on a post you wrote re the exact steps from ITA and was curious...all of my criminality , Medicals & R10 have all passed, however, elligabilty 'not started' under 'Assesments', is that usually the the first thing they check?!? it had agents note & said I had passed everything, no change in age from ita. Meets threshold . 'Im a little confused as to where im at?! Label: EE Eligibility'

The eligibility happens in 2-3 stages. For a program analyst will review and make a recommendation. This happened in your case. This review will then be verified by an agent, who will make a final decision and your eligibility will then change to passed.

After your eligibility is passed, your file will go to BGC and then after all reports come back the VO will make the final review.

Hi @legalfalcon
I tried to reply over your previous message, but I don't know what I did wrong.
Here it's the link to the previous reply.

My question is:

"1 - Is it a concern to have my case moved back to "Not Started"? Has this situation ever happened?"

"This does not always happen, but it normal when the officer might want a substituted review or may have not changed the status, or inadvertently changed it back to not started."

Thanks a million for your reply.
I just have one additional question in this case.

I've just checked the "Updated by" inputs and realized that two different Officers analyzed my case.
1 - The one who opened my Educational and Work experience files, wrote the notes (as Agent Review Notes) and changes my Eligibility to "MET" is one person ( GM*****) . These Officer's actions took place on the 16/Aug/2017. According to this Officer's notes, everything is ok and nothing has raised a flag.
2 - On the following day (17/Aug/2017) another Officer (LJ****) , who has no previous input in my GCMS notes before this day, moved the CIO as being the "Secondary Office", added another "Primary Office" AND changed my Eligibility status to "Not Started" without writing any extra notes in any part of my GCMS notes. So, this Officer had never opened my case before, I guess.

- As you raised a flag, it also seems to me that some mistake happened here. My application is heading to the 5th month. Do you believe I should try any sort of contact to check this possible mistake? Or do you believe that anything done before the 6th month is too early?
- In case of considering any contact, do you suggest calling or contacting via their website?

Thanks once again @legalfalcon

hi @legalfalcon

Thanks for all the help you provide to everyone in this forum...i also need help regarding the GCMS notes i had ordered from www.getgcms.com.
I had sent CIC my updated PCC (Mine on May 23rd and husband's on May 30th) after I realised that just state police's PCC would not suffice.
They have apparently received both by 1st Aug as per my conversation with Call centre agent.

In my GCMS notes, on page 390, I find my notes written as below -

My concern is - PARKED CASES NOTES - Case parked due to the following missing documents: - Other - UCI mix up.

alright, so I received my GCMS notes, and I have a couple of questions:

At what point are they checking my police certificates? I've forgot to order my FBI PC in time and I'm still waiting for it and hoping to upload it on time (I've been to the US 4 months and than another two), but the notes from June 19 states that "Criminality decision pending until outstanding PC from Israel received. recommendation: review required" - nothing about FBI PC being required. Since then I've received an email in late August from the Canadian embassy in Israel that they've uploaded the Israeli PC (in Israel the embassy receives the PC directly, not the individual) and under notes 2 from July 4th (more than 2 months ago!), it says: "Case Analystt: "Recommended Pass", is that for the eligibility part only?

on the second page, in the Assessments part, it states:
Eligibility: Recommend Passed.
Security: Not started
Criminality: Not Started.

any idea what's going on and in what stage I am? (timeline in signature)

Dear friends
It's been 8 months since I got aor.
I ordered 2 gcms notes and my eligibility is still recommended pass by case analyst. There is nothing mention about officer comment.
My background check is NA since last 6 months. I don't know why it's taking too long to pass my eligibility?
Does anybody have background status NA for more than 6 months ???
