Is the criminality complete on your file? That just might be the saving grace. Or file is still “in transit”. Good luck Diidii!
Yes Criminality - Passed, Only Eligibility and Security to go, It's not even started so I don't' have much hope if I'm not even at the 2nd visa office yet. Everyone that was Jan Feb for Jamaica is already there waiting. My but left behind...No pun intended

Opinion on whether ordering GCMS notes are worth it? I was reading in a previous forum that it takes up to a month to get them back, and that was pre-covid. Anyone with recent experience with this?

I have a Query, when I have a outland spousal sponsorship application in progress,
1) is there a option of applying for TRV and open work permit?
2) Is it advisable to do so?
3) What are the success rates?

Frankly I am missing my family so much, I am trying to explore what are the other options for me to go and stay with them. I know TRV is an option available, but I am a little scared to do that as in that case I will be living on my savings and will not be allowed to work till I get my PR approved.

Any suggestions ?

1. You can apply for TRV, not open work permit. You'll also not qualify for health care (as far as I'm aware).
2. No harm in doing so for the TRV. Pointless for open work permit.
3. Too variable to say.

Thank you for a quick response.. So TRV is the only option, however by going this route I will be risking my savings which will deplete very fast once I am in Canada without a job. So best bet is sit tight here in India with a job (thankfully I still have it in India), and wait for the PR to happen and with TRV just visit my family for a month or two.. till my PR gets processed...
Lets see thank you for the advise, I try to figure out what works best for me...

I submitted a ATIP request for GSMS notes on 1 October, I have yet to get the notes. I sent an email with tracking number requesting a status update. My last request took less than 30 days (post COVID request).

ECAS update:
PR application status - “Application received”

I got some more info regarding BVO. BOV is one of a handful of offices that is working at full captivity. This month IRCC started (new measure) to disseminate workload to BVO to mitigate backlogs. SVO is still the responsible office for processing and BVO is the office that will (did) upload the application.
