does everyone who know their visa office is because they ordered notes??

You can call them or even raise a CSE to find your visa office. No need to order notes to find your visa office

I called CIC yesterday to find out they have not started on the eligibility and security. The same was the status a month ago. Doesn't seem will get my PPR on time!.
Aor Feb 13th..

it looks like this is their standard response these days to everyone.
First time I called they said my PCCs are accepted and medical on file is valid. No idea what the PCC this is and I already knew medical was okay.
Then they told me they are verifying eligibility and processing BG,
Next time they repeated the same. Now i've decided not to waste anymore time calling them

For those lovers of statistics - https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/documents/pdf/english/pub/express-entry-year-end-report-2018.pdf

Page 18 looks at processing times over 2018 (still for 80% of applications):
-CEC is a bit faster, FST a bit slower and FSW and PNP on target for 6 months
-Processing was slower in 2018 than 2017
-The clock starts when the application is submitted and stops upon decision (so more or less COPR)

thanks for the update bro.

Are gcms notes really helpful? Has anyone benefited from them?

Are gcms notes really helpful? Has anyone benefited from them?

For me, personally, it was worth the time/money to at the very least know that nothing went wrong. I had concerns about things like the fact that a company (experience at which I claimed points for) more or less shut down operations, and that I might have made mistakes while recording the 100+ flights and ~7 residential addresses for my spouse and me, and about whether the 6 PCCs I submitted were all accepted. The first set of notes showed that my criminality was passed, so it was a partial relief.

Notes are also objective (compared to calling up) - they give unambiguous statuses for each assessment.

On the flip side, it takes a little over a month, and is a month outdated by the time it comes, and costs some money if you're outside Canada (15 CAD as I recall). As apparently happens with a lot of people, I got my second notes the day after my PPR. Since everything pretty much happened in the two last weeks, these notes didn't capture anything new.

i had this question while filling the job details in the application
i have 11 years of job exp and my wife has 6 years of exp.
she is a primary applicant in our application
while filling the application they ask max 3 years of job exp then why we need to submit all 11 years of data to them ? do they really check ? afterall all these extra years increases their burden to check verify each single page. My document collection was more than 230 pages in total.

Congrats!!! Single or any dependents

Everyone seems to ask that. Are applications processed faster for singles ?

 

[RBV2909]

in my experience it is the other way around. All my friends with family got it faster than the singles

Mine is the same:

AOR - 28th February
Request for further information - 12th April
MEP - 15th April
Biometrics - 29th April
Country of residence - U.K.

52 days to go and everything else is still being reviewed and processed

Considering ordering my GCMS notes but that’ll take 40 days so not sure how useful that will be!

Hello Nixxi.010, it appears we have the exact same time lines. Same dates for AOR, additional documents request, and MEP. What was your ADR? Mine was for schedule A. My visa office is CPC Ottawa and country of residence is Nigeria. The last time I called in mid May, I guess, eligibility and security had not yet started, while criminality was passed. I intend to call later today and possibly order GCMS notes soon.

Let us know what they say; Nixxi, yourself and I all share a similar AoR.
