Hi , I have a question, and will appreciate if you share your experience.

I have my medical test done upfront, and the status was updated in 28 October . All my documents I provided with application in April. I know that they were checking my police certificates in December- January. Since then I have not heard from them. I applied for GSCM notes yesterday for the first time.
My questions is, do you know if they start to check criminal reports after eligibility is passed ?
I would like to know if everything is ok with my eligibility (work experience, noc and ref. letter), as I will have my GCSM notes after 30 days , and I will be to nervous :)
Could you share your experience if you have requested GCSM notes before, and do you think I should email CIC to ask whether everything is ok with my eligibility ?

Nihon,I can't answer your question but one thing I know for sure - email to CIC will not help. They ignore 90% or email and answer the other 10% in 30 days. I have asked them some concrete questions and they did not give me even a clue.

"Review required by officer" takes some time to finished. Based from my observation in this forum, it seems from 3-6 months. I don't know what really they are doing but you need a senior officer to review your application and I am in belief that they may be scarce in CIC right now hence long queue time.

In my opinion, just wait for their feedback and order another GCMS to track any changes, if there is. I feel you can't do anything for now, I might be wrong. Others please feel free to comment, I have no good suggestions really.

@ cabalen , @ spatel, @ kaisen @ EPP, @ Sunil R, congrats to all of u, i am a silent follower of this group with very experienced seniors.

My application status is "application received on april 10, 2014"
I applied on April 7, 2014 and AOR is 7 May 2014.
NOC - B
LMO based.
Eligibility (In Process)

My LMO was approved in Dec 2013, but my company started my new payroll in March 2014. Before LMO my pay was 11$ and after LMO i had to show 23$ as median wage. But for Jan-Feb 2014 my employer paid me at 11/hr and since march till date it is 23/hr. In LMO it was showed that i will have annual income of $35k but due to 2 mnths difference, the T4 now shows as $33.2k.
Will that cause any problem?

I ordered GCMS notes in dec 2014, it shows "review required by officer". with due date of May 5, 2015. Notes were regarding the difference in T4 for 2012 and NOA for 2012 (i forgot to attach T4 for my Co-op term) and mentioning that T4 for 2013 does not show the $35k value as it is stated in LMO (but it can't as it will show in T4 2014)

So i have no idea what is going on.. i m really getting worried now and it is really frustrating... they haven't asked me for anything yet after oct 31,2014 ( according to gcms notes, the last update on my file was on oct 31, 2014)

What can i do right now? Do i need to update them with latest T4? should i get a letter from employer stating the reason the T4 doesn't match the annual income in LMO?

Any suggestions or help is appreciated..
May all April 2014 applicants get their PR asap... it just seems that there is some issue with VOs dealing with April files, lazy VOs or something, first new year holidays then express entry, everything just got stuck.

Unless you get the GCMS, you won't know roughly what's happening with your file. I have no experience calling the call centre.

thanks for the reply,

But my question is : Do they issue any tracking number after GCMS notes requested because they gave me temporary one ?

They don't provide anything. You will get GCMS note directly after 30 days. I have requested 3 GCMS and every-times got a this automated message.
