Dear @legalfalcon ,
My AOR is 28/01/2020, FSW-O (India).
Applied for GCMS notes on the 20/09/2020 and received them on 21/10/2020.
Here are the main fields.. What are your thoughts? My only (minor) point of concern is that despite the Notes_1 saying Ready for approval, the Final field is still blank.. Is this normal?

Primary Office:CPC-Ottawa
App Status:Open
App Status Reason:In Progress
Eligibility:Passed
Security:*blank*
HIRV:*blank*
Criminality:Passed
Org Crime:*blank*
Medical:Passed
Misrepresentation:*blank*
Info Sharing:Complete
Other Reqs:*blank*
Final:*blank*
Notes : 1
Text:*OFFICER REVIEW* File reviewed. Eligibility passed. Ready for approval.
The final field will remain blank until the all stages, including security are passed and a final review is done. Based on your status it seems that your eligibility is passed. So you are all good and no need to worry.

IF your security is blank then it means that it is either in progress or passed. Security screening details are always redacted in the GCMS notes and you will see s15 on the top right of the page where the security is. To read on s15 see https://bit.ly/3jvbiZO

Also you can check the activities section to see how many security related activities you have. See my previous post on it at #4,795

Once everything is done, your COPR details will be entered. They will look like this:

Hi @ legalfalcon

My VO is Montreal and I'm currently in US, per my GCMS notes everything passed just waiting for final decision since late August, but I will be moving back to my home country next month, would that change my VO when I get my passport request? Many thanks
If you are changing your country of residence, your LVO will change. You will have to inform your change of address to IRCC via webform so that they send you the correct information to submit your passport.

It will not have any impact on the processing as all processing may be done at VO-MTL and the then your file will be transferred to the LoV

As per your note 1, your eligibility is passed. Congratulations!

Now your security should be in progress or may have even been passed.
Thank you so much!! Based on this would you suggest that I should apply for visit visa or there is more chance on getting my PR before that?

Ordered GCMS on September 25 and yet to receive it.

CEC applicant, AOR : March 05. Biometrics and medical passed March 11 and yet no movement. Very frustrating.

Got it, thanks!
Should I send webform now or do it closer to the moving date? I will stay at my current address for another month and really don't know when will I get the passport request..

Hello @legalfalcon,

I had a call with IRCC agent today, I checked with him on my security as that was either in progress or done as per my GCMS notes, he confirmed that the security is passed and told us that the application is currently pending final assessment.

Can you please throw some light on what exactly is this final assessment with the officer?

Side note: Eligibility, medicals and Criminality are all passed.

Regards.

The final review or assessment is done by an officer before finalising the application. They check that all documents on file are valid, the medicals, passport etc are valid and all checks have been done and based on your country of residence that will transfer the application to the LVO or send you the instructions for PPR and then transfer.

If everything is passed, you can almost there. Just wait and you should have the PPR soon.

Hi @legalfalcon I spoke to an IRCC agent today who mentioned that everything is passed in my application but the final decision is pending. This was the same case when I had spoken to them a month back.

My AOR is 10th Jan 2020 FSW Outland. And my medical expiry is 9th December 2020. My last GCMS notes which I had recieved in September indicated a due date of 8th December 2020. Does this due date mean that I can expect an update only by then?

The due date is a system generated date to remain the officer that an application is pending. Most application are processed way before it and some keep pending way past it. So the due date does not have much significance as such.
