Kung for next year na po kayo, hintayin niyo nalang po. Kasi pag pinamedical na po kayo meaning likely approved na po. Ano pong nakalagay sa medical niya? Kasi kung ano po nakalagay dun dapat dun siya magpapamedical. Sa akin po kasi nakalagay within 30 days. Bakit po pala siya nagpadefer? Hybrid po ba class niya na kailangan niya pong nasa canada para makapag study at di fully online?
Yes yun reason ng deferral nya.

May extention po ata ng medical like yung sa biometrics ng 90 days.

Kaka send ko lang ng webform now asking for a medical request letter. Sana mabigyan na ako.

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):

NOTES

Notes 1
Created Date: July 15, 2020
Restricted: No
Label: General
Office: Manila
Text: Uploaded deferred LOA Validity: 11 Jan 2021

Notes 2
Created Date: July 2, 2020
Updated Date: July 2, 2020

Updated By:
Restricted: No
Label: General
Office: Manila
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!
Hello po. Ask ko lang po if yung new LOA niyo po ay nagreflect dun sa gckey account niyo po? Like nadagdag po siya dun sa listahan po na documents na sinubmit niyo po? Thank you po

I have received my AIP :D. It says:

You are receiving this notification as an officer has reviewed the information and documents you provided to support your study permit application. Based on this preliminary eligibility assessment, your application has advanced to the next stage of processing.

It also says I can begin my online studies now and I have decided to do so.

Hoping to be finally approved soon :)

The Canada VAC in “Manila” is closed to the public, but will provide passport return services via courier only with effect from 8th September 2020 (Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:00 to 16:00). A VAC representative will contact applicants whose passports are ready to be returned and will provide further details regarding how passports will be returned to applicants via the courier service provided by the VAC.
An update from VFS's website. Pag ma return na yung passport, kasama na yung result right?

Yung akin, wala po. Sa GCMS ko lang may update.
Baka kasi paper-based application ako? Tsaka baka through email kasi ako and not webform? Not sure
