This is really a good idea. It can help to easily adjust to a new environment with new sets of friends.

I hope by August I'm already employed at CIC (not really sarcasm :p). Experiencing the pain of the process, I'll be more effective and efficient in doing their task at hand!

@tom

What is your opinion about the rate of PPRs being given out lately? It's been pretty quiet in the FSW thread as well as the Aug AOR thread. :-X
Yeah it looks like there's a bit of a backlog for PPR issuance being created. Possibly due to the fact that they're focusing most of their resources to aid Syrian refugees in dire need. As far as BG checks, honestly i don't see this slowing down. The bottle neck might be happening to the actual PPR issuance. July AOR's should have seen more PPR action in November than this. If the majority of August AOR's don't get PPR's by end of December, we'll know for sure that there's a growing backlog at the PPR stage for all applicants. I could be wrong of course, this is just my own opinion

Welcome to the group Chris. Did your background check go to "in progress" on mycic? This is usually the last stage, and it happens 2-5 weeks before DM. What is your country of residence?

Also do you mean they asked you for an updated POF document recently? Hopefully that's good news cuz it means they're working on your application. Right?
thanks tom....
yes BG is in progress..
country of residence is India..
POF was asked after RPRF...
its 2 week i have updated the last....
i also believe its slow now....

Hi willpower7, yeah your bg check is a little bit overdue by now.. hopefully nothing to worry about.. some applicants process a little slower than the average.. I personally would absolutely recommend you order your GCMS notes as soon as possible. It's good to know what notes they wrote about you and your background/eligibility, and it's quite cheap ($25-$40 if you'll order through 3rd party providers, like most of us). There's a strong theory that when you order GCMS notes, a chain reaction sort of starts and your application starts getting movement a few days later. Some people will say that the timing of those movements are just a coincidence and others will insist it's not a coincidence... either ways, you have nothing to lose really. Best of luck, and I hope your BG starts really soon (tomorrow or this Monday). What is your country of residence?

There are several websites, but I ordered it mine from www.gcmsnow.com for $23 I believe. They emailed me the consent form, which I printed, signed, scanned and emailed back within 15 minutes. They submitted the request to CIC the same day so that was professional of them. I'm expecting the notes around Christmas.

Considering the notes contain every detail about the person, is it significant risk to have this information ordered through these third party websites? I want to order but am concerned about privacy in terms of any leak of data or information through these providers.

Hey tomneversfield,

Thank you so much for your advise and inputs.
I did indeed order GCMS notes today through a canadian friend which just cost me $5. Btw my country of residence is India.

Appreciate ur help
Fingers crossed lets hope for the best.
