Hello, everyone!
Update on my GCMS notes. I just received it last night.

Application Details:
Lodged application:
March 6, 2020 - paper-based
Review of Eligibility: Probably started around first week first week of July
Biometrics: March 6, 2020
Medical: December 10, 2019 (passed June 30, 2020)
Last application update: June 30, 2020
Email submitted: July 16, 2020 - Updated LOA
Webforms submitted: 2, received the automatic replies
GCMS Notes requested: August 11, 2020
GCMS Notes received: August 31, 2020

I would like to share the following that struck with me while reading my GCMS notes (I posted the details but made the necessary ones bold for them to be easy to read):

Text: Reviewed. Satisfied SP reqts are met. Meds passed. NBI cert is clean. LoA is valid.

------

In the assessment/application portion, it says that the information sharing on my application is complete, and my eligibility is passed. Does that mean it's already done being processed and I am eligible? I have 0 grounds for refusal too.

It seems like the outgoing that says 0 in correspondence means that they aren't sending me any updates anytime soon. But I am not too sure about this yet.

In the notes part, the text in the second note says that it's reviewed by July 2 and all the requirements are met, passed, clean and valid. But there's no update yet if they think I am recommended for approval. I haven't gotten any update since Medical Passed so I sent an updated LOA, hence, the update on Notes 1.

And when I asked for help from someone who received their GCMS notes, they congratulated me because these are good news and I shouldn't worry too much about the text from notes 2 because every visa officer is different in giving notes.

I would also like to read about your insights regarding these details that I shared.

Sooo, I think this is a good thing, I'd like to think positive that I and everyone will get good news really soon!

Thank you so much guys!! And like @aby08, I requested GCMS notes from a friend who is already a PR in Canada.


Good luck to all of our applications!! I also highly suggest requesting for GCMS notes. Mabilis lang processing nila ngayon compared sa mga nakikita ko dati!
Saan po kayo nag apply? Di pa rin po kayo nakakatanggap ng kahit ano po? Like passport request or correspondence? Bakit po kaya di pa sila nagsesend kung approved na po kayo. Tapos po yung deferment niyo po is from september to january po no? Wala pong nakalagay na date dun sa may “Final:Approved” or dun po sa may counterfoil?

I applied paperbased sa Manila. Parang sa Manila lang na-assess yung application ko kasi yun lang yung nakita ko na place, wala ng iba. Parang approved na nga po eh pero baka need lang akong mag-wait til mag-open VFS tapos tsaka sila mag-update ng gckey ko? Hehe. Yes po, nagdefer ako to January 2021 nung July 16. Wala pong nakalagay na Final: Approved kaya di pako super secured na approved nako, pero parang yung mga nakita ko are positive signs na ma-approve sana :)

I noticed something last night while re-reading my GCMS, yung time of update na nakalagay dun sa Notes 2 ay July 2, 2020 00:59:28. Yun yung may nakalagay na 'Reviewed. Satisfied SP reqts are met. Meds passed. NBI cert is clean. LoA is valid.'

Then sa overall GCMS was July 2, 2020 00:59:58.

Nagkaron lang ng Notes 1 update nung July 15, 2020 kasi yun yung time na nag-submit ako ng updated LOA.

Possible kaya na may decision na ako from July 2? Kaya wala akong nareceive na AIP kasi around July 14 yata naimplement yung two-stage process? Just a thought. I could be wrong hehe.

Best to go for Regular Online these days Hirap na pumasa ng SDS because the VOs are from Ottawa and Edmonton. Mas maluwag ang Manila office.

Pero may Final:Approved na pong nakalagay dun sa gcms po ninyo diba? So meaning approved na po yata talaga kayo. Or iba po meaning nun?

Ay opo. Baka nga po approved na. Sana di nalang magbago isip nila hehehe. :)

Through email ko po pinasa yung updated LOA ko.

Nakatanggap ako ng acknowledgment receipt a few days after. Sabi ng iba na generated message nila yun natanggap ko, pero nag-update din naman sya sa gcms ko so feeling ko effective yun :)

Ako I’d defer and wait for stage 2/full approval. And check with your school if you’ll get full tuition refund if ever stage 2 gets refused.

Yes I have the dates from the school.. before September 9 need to cancel all courses which I registered to get full assessed fees back to my account, until September 23 will get full tuition fee refund and partial on the other school fees..

kaya pinag uusapan pa namin ng asawa ko.. in shaa Allah by Monday meron na kami decision.. nag email na rin professor ko for my first day online class sa September 9 giving the full details for the online class..
