Hi Guy,

I'm in a similar situation to you. My GCMS does not mention SS specifically, but as I understand the blanked sections mean your in SS. My medicals also got renewed (probably due to that reason).
damn it, how can we know when it started?

I think I ordered the wrong notes. What they sent me is the application/correspondence. On my physical presence calculator, I see he made some correction where my # of absent days were less so he increased them., but the physical presence remains the same. He also wrote as per GCMS in front of it. There is also first excel sort of sheet but all the information has been blackened with only two fields visible. CST/CMC . Pages 15 to 16 are withheld due to section 22(1)(b). I've reapplied with file status now.

In my GCMS I have a date where the security section is blanked. I'm assuming this date means the start of the whole thing. Did you hear from IRCC anything since you entered IP2? I'm also Israeli, by the way.

Has anyone here had to wait 5 months to receive their GCMS notes. I keep contacting ATIP but they are ignoring me. They only responded to my first email in March saying they would make my case a priority. I applied at the beginning of February. I would just apply again but I am afraid they will do the same thing. People have been telling me to contact my MP, but I am not sure that is appropriate. I don't know who else to complain to. Any ideas?

S.15 means information are hidden since it’s related to the background check and security screening.
S.19 means a consent form is missing. So if your application includes a spouse, but you didn’t send your spouse’s signed consent form when you requested GCMS, information related to him/her will be hidden undet S.19

Thank you for response.
Yes, My application includes my spouse and i did not send consent form when i requested GCMS. I think thats why i dont see any information related to her in GCMS notes.

In need of an opinion. @MoeD

My GCMS notes of 187 pages among other things states the following:
____________________
Assessments:
Eligibility: Passed
Security:
HIRV:
Criminality: Passed
Org crime:
Medical: passed
Misrepresentation:
Info sharing: Complete
Other reqs:
Final: Approved

The latest notes section dated April 25th 2018 states:
...Files appears ready for issuance. Please request passports x4.
_____________________

Some questions that come to mind:

1. Does this mean my application was approved for PPR?
2. Security field is empty instead of Passed. (is this stage over?)
3. There is a recommendation (actually a note from VO) that Passport Request should be triggered (this is back more than one month ago, yet no PPR). Is there such a long lead time for PPR?

Has anyone had a similar experience?
