But you dont have any delay/issue from rcmp dept.
Its only the physical presence as far as i see, just with cbsa.

when did you apply for gcms - how many days before?
I thought to wait for requesting gcms, may be i should do it today since it takes anyway more than 30-40 days.
yes there is a delay issue , i had to email them to ask about the status of my querry. From CBSA its in delay. Still waiting for travel history report.

i applied on 27th July, normally it does not take that long but i guess its taking way too long now. Even to email and ask them about it, takes 2 to 3 days for them to reply. And do not put another request if you already have one in process it will be considered as duplicate.

They already sent me a notice of extension. I dont know why it is getting delayed for me. Probably IRCC/CBSA in Montreal want me to move out from Quebec.

Seems you have less than 50 records hence delaying more as it takes more time to fetch and they sent me on time because i have more than 700 entry/exits ;) (same like how they process late 2020 applicants for DM and oath while leaving 2019 and early 2020 applicants)

I guess they have the ability to time travel. Marvel should make a movie on IRCC and CBSA both . I can see Thanos like my comment already.

So as i requested Notes from RCMP i got this reply

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Access to Information and Privacy Branch is unable to process requests such as this. These requests are handled by the Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services.

Still waiting on GCMS notes from IRCC way past the due date.
IRCC is anyways handling Afghan helpline, they will not reply

this is latest that i received

"Due to the current events, many of our resources have been redirected to support the Afghanistan dedicated phone line. As a result, you will not get a reply to this enquiry. A limited amount of agents remain available for telephone enquiries related to urgent cases only until further notice."
Whats more fishy is that iRCC sent me three mails for a request stating that they are tied up with Afghan helpline . This is latest I got.

"In order to respond to a high volume of enquiries related to the crisis in Afghanistan, we have needed to shift resources in our Client Support Centre. This will impact our ability to respond to some of your enquiries.



We will respond to these priority enquiries only:

  • Clients in crisis situations (like those affected by the situation in Afghanistan)
  • Clients facing vulnerable circumstances (emergency and urgent requests)
  • Clients who need to tell us about a change in their circumstances, which has a direct impact on their application (like marriage, birth of a child, or similar)
  • Clients who are submitting documents requested by one of our officers
  • Changes in contact information
  • Requests to withdraw an application or refunds
If your enquiry is NOT one of the priority enquiries listed above, you will not receive a reply.

My wife got reply from cic on 11th(even though we submitted webform on same day) which was not having this intelligent excuse but they changed that after 11th Aug.

I was checking USA immigration website contact us and nowhere it says Due to Coronavirus or Due to the situation in Afghanistan. Im pretty sure IRCC is playing us.
IRCC is like a political party's TV channel trumpeting things for their own selfish shameless act(to hide their lazy processing times due to their lazy unquestioned/non-governed/unaccountable officers).

I checked my application status yesterday, it showed my oath ceremony will be held in Feb 2022. I’m happy and confused: why they schedule my ceremony 6 months after today? Is that normal?

Passport request yesterday: Montreal gives no Oaths but is working...

I am wondering why people speak so often of translations if it seems to me every passport, even, say, a French one, will have all in English as well.
