There's no way raising a CSE or ordering GCMS notes helps expedite your application. It was pure coincidence.

I second the fact that unless the officer needs additional documents to look at, not providing additional documents is always better as it takes less time to review. Any new document sent has to be taken into consideration before a final decision is taken.
This is wat i ws saying.

I've been in IP2 (post submission of RCMP) since May. IP2 doesn't always mean it's coming soon.
True that. IP2 is only a trigger that at least one of your background checks got cleared - usually, criminality.

My case since June 1 (AOR May 11).

It may sound grueling, but we are in a waiting game and you can't do anything but wait while you're running it.

If you got your GCMS notes and there are no concerns, chill and wait. As said here, every timeline is unique. But everyone who did their homework will eventually get through.

There is no harm in ordering GCMS notes. It's possible your PPR comes before the GCMS notes. You have been in Ip2 for a long time. It's possible some part of BG check is taking more time. But you can know for sure only through GCMS notes.

Order the notes. Won't speed your processing, but you'll have the chance to check if everything is okay.

Not necessarily. Again, IP2 only means criminality is done, and sometimes it happens simultaneously with eligibility (which takes the longest). His eligibility is probably in review like mine.

Security is always the last assessment.

To be honest, no one in this forum knows exactly the procedure IRCC adopts in reviewing files, we can only speculate. but nevertheless GCMS will help clarify why your file is ''probably stuck'' and what stage your file is in.

I think they did clarify in a recent tweet that processing times are unaffected due to ordering of GCMS notes, so I'm actually quoting IRCC, not myself.

Are dese replies are given by genuine persons or just random users.
The IRCC Twitter account is official and validated by Twitter, which means their identity as an institution was confirmed.

So yes, an IRCC representative is answering these inquiries.
