Hi,

Friends I have received GCMS Notes last evening, it shows nothing started even after 13 months since PER. Earlier due date was 31-DEC-2015 now they moved it to 13-Feb.

Not a single line varies from my previous notes which i ordered in October.

What could be the reason of not initiating any checks, its a indication will they dump the file after some time.If checks were started and got stuck somewhere in security/background checks

are acceptable but Put Away Status after 15+ months.


Kindly share your inputs..

Thanks,
Yameen
Dear Yameen,

Are you aware of the date of transfer of your file to LVO?

Wouldn't it be like that one has to start the whole process from scratch, including the payment of fees (as this one is not refunding for sure).
Payment of fee starts after you receive ITA. So Express Entry is good in that sense that first step is free.

Once you get ITA then you need to pay processing fee. Getting ITA itself is a difficult process as you need to score 450+. Last Score 457 [27 Jan 16]

Hi guys,

I need some information from you guys. October 2014 applicant here (BWJ).

My company have just received a reference request from CIC. They have called me to ask if it is okay for them to release the information to them.

I am going to see them tomorrow, however, I am a bit concerned about what they are asking for.

The reason is, due to data protection reasons, they were not able to provide them with a breakdown of my job description etc, so I had to write this myself as a cover letter. They just confirmed that I work there, and confirmed all the promotions I got and the dates of employment alongside my job title. This matches the information in the cover letter.

Who has an idea of what they would normally ask? Or what the reference request would look like? What would they be worried about?

Please I need the response ASAP.

Thanks guys!!
Ok, so they have started physical verification. You are the second case reported up till now. One of my friend too got on call verification.

Sep/Oct 2015 physical verification have happened and in that 1 one of my friend told me that his employer got the call, the HR Person. It was less than 1.5 Minute Call. They asked the complete name and the department you are working. Asked about the job, as he was on the lead role so asked how many person he is supervising. Asked whether he is permanent full time employee. And yes they also asked how many hours he work even after knowing he is a full time employee.

So my advice please take your manager/HR Manager in confidence and tell them that they will receive a call. Be Proactive!

All the best!

Please order GCMS Notes to know more about your file. Also raise a CSE.

Your PPR is very near if DM is after medicals, the delay is probably due to Visa Quota ended for 2015 and many Oct/Nov/Dec 2016 Applicants [Ones who have Medical Received Line in ECAS] received PPR in Jan/Feb 2016 due to that
How to order GCMS Notes and from whom? Further, GCMS & CSE stands for what?

My application timelines are as follows:
Application for PR received at CIO on 17-Sep-2014
PER dated/received on 5-Jan-2015
New photographs(self+family) requested on 18-Feb-2015
-----------------do--------------------- submitted on 20-Feb-2015
-----------------do--------------------- delivered at London Visa Office(LVO) on 23-Feb-2015
Police Certificates(self+spouse) from Pakistan requested on 11-June-2015
-------------------------------do-------------------------------- submitted on 18-June-2015
-------------------------------do-------------------------------- delivered at LVO on 22-June-2015
Thereafter waiting and waiting....


what should I do??? Pl. advise

what should I do??? Pl. advise
GCMS : Global Case Management System - a System based on Siebel Systems [CRM]
CSE: Case Specific Query - a facility of sending a query to CIC/Visa Office to ask about your file or to send updates

Please apply GCMS Notes through http://www.visafile.info/ [You can pay the fee through your Debit Card - Its safe] You will get your GCMS Notes in 30 to 45 days of the order as per the Canadian Privacy Act

Send CSE to LVO through https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=london [Be formal - Be specific] InshaALLAH you will get reply and you will get to know about the current status of your file.

I will advice do both, CSE will give you update from your Visa Officer but will be very general. GCMS Notes will give you a detail about your file and each of us should have atleast one GCMS Note as this tells you whole alot.

All the best. We are here for you

They use only one mode of communication [email/phone/site visit], so if they have sent you the email this is a good sign as at first case they have recognized your organization with email because if they have concern they must have call or do site visit. Convince the person who has received the email to shape the mail in your interest.

All the best dear.
