Hi Guys,

I had applied GCMS notes on 27 Sep 2021, and didn't receive any updates, and after following up with privacy office, I have received the following email on 16 Nov:

Does anybody else has same experience with IRCC? If yes, how long did it take IRCC to provide the GCMS notes.

Great, my email went to my previous attorney that my company had used for my work permit. Although I did not use that attorney for PR. They forwarded my portal email to me so i used that one and replied now. Hoping to get portal credentials soon.
Did you get portal credentials email? I have not received it yet.

We are still working on your application email: Nov 2nd
GU and Portal email: Nov 9th
Current status: no change in status

For those who have doubts about receiving their ITA before their 1 yr work experience in Canada (like me), my 1 yr work anniv was July 13th but I created my EE profile in June to see how much points will I have. Didn't expect to receive my ITA immediately. Some say, you must decline the invitation and just go back to the pool if you haven't met the minimum 1 yr Canadian experience requirement or else you will risk getting refused. I just waited a week after my 1 yr anniv then asked my employer for a letter then used that to apply.

I'm a NOC 2171 for my current work here.
NOC 2171 and 2173 for my past work experiences outside of Canada.

Yeah i think you will get portal email soon
After how much time your bg change back to processing from progress???
I haven't checked my profile quite often, as in, there were times when I didn't check the profile for 1-2 weeks, so not sure if there were any ghost updates in between or not. To my best knowledge sometime in August it changed to the former status from "not applicable", so in an around 80-90 days.
