I also got that doc request which I believe comes around the 1 year mark. Recent history and Police certificate from the FBI. And they asked me to submit by jun 2014 which seems to confirm what I thought earlier.

So please if you are December 2012 applicant (AOR 2012) just chip in. Also if you are January 2013 you will probably get DM, PPR in April 2014, please let us know if you do.

Good luck!
Hi Yakkar
Do you mean that they have asked you to provide a new FBI police certificate?
My application was received 1/24/2013 (Status still application received) and it included my police certificate. If they are not extending validity for the police certs, mine would be expired by the time my file goes into process. Maybe I'd be better off ordering a new police cert at once since it does take some time to obtain it from the FBI.
I have also ordered my GCMS last week and will keep you all posted once I get it. Maybe we can have a better idea of how fast they are moving by comparing notes.

Hi OnmywaytoCanada I strongly recommend you to order a new FBI police certificate. I do not know why you were not asked to submit yours by now because if my "theorie" is valid you should have been asked to do so a month ago. Though we need to remember that about 80% of applications fall within the processing times and the other 20% are the outliers that last for more than that for different reasons that no one gets.
My application included a FBI police certificate that was delivered roughly around feb 2013, they want a new one. Actually if I were you given what I know now, I would just go ahead order one new FBI P.C and send it to them , then email them to make sure they have received it. But I still believe that you could get some good news next month (most of January 2013 applicants). Thanks for chip in and let get more people in the forum. It would ease the waiting period...

I still have application recieved as well. I dont think they pay attention to that online status till the day you got DM.

Not yet, probably in two weeks. I also noticed that Ottawa has updated the processing time 20 months waiting time (of course this is for 80 % of applicants)

Hi There!

I received GCMS notes yesterday:

Medicals: Passed
Criminality: Passed
Eligibility: Passed
Security: Blank

Due Date: 2014-03-03

My application status on ecas is still "In Process"

I hope the assigned officer in my case will note that my application is passed due date and can proceed with my application. I am still within processing time of 20 months though (80% applicants processed). I am hoping to email them if I don't hear from them by April 9 (full 20 months). Does anyone have suggestions? Hope our pile continues to move again with more ppr.

Cheers! ;)

Your visa office is cpp-ottawa? It is very strange you haven't heard from them yet. I have the exact same thing on my GCMS notes but i applied in july of 2013. What was the last updated date on your GCMS and your last detailed comment by VO (at the end -- usually it starts with a DXXXXX)? Are you still outside of canada? I would email them now since it's past the due date.

Hi dior12,

My visa office is cpp-ottawa and I am an outland applicant. My last update was 2014-12-04 even though my new medicals was updated on Feb. 11 2014. Should I email them and reference past due date as in my GCMS notes?

I got my GCMS notes but frankly nothing knew. Only medical passed, Everything else not started. Conclusion it didn't add anything to my knowledge as far as processing time is concerned. I don't find it helpful. Did yours help you learn any thing. What should I look at in that 30 pages notes?

Hi all,

I will update you as I have new information. I wrote to them and I was told that my application is still within standard processing time. If I don't hear anything from them when the 20 months elapses, I will have to write again. All the best!

Yakkar, is your application status "In process" yet? Looks like it is at this point that the VO updates your findings from criminality, eligibility, security. I am sure from your GCMS notes, they have assigned these findings and have to be updated by a certain assigned date by VO. When our pile start moving again, I am certain that you'll have something different. Stay strong!

Thanks, as you said we must be patient. There is no logic to this thing, I kinda look at it as a lotery:) Well it says application in progress. and this occurs in November 2013. I am assuming that means " in process" . I am waiting for my FBI police certificate. Beside the medical evverything else needs to be updated.

yakkar, even though ecas might not be the best tool to know your application status, we can at least rely on it for our current status. My GCMS notes before "in process" status was showing in progress while ecas showed "application received." So check your ecas to see what your current status is. All the best!
