Hello, just created an account today to give back to the community.

I got my ITA in Feb 2020, AOR on April 18, 2020 as FSW-O (USA, on H-1B, single no dependents). Have been requesting GCMS Notes since my application passed the 6-month mark (3 so far, the 3rd one has not arrived). There has been literally no movement whatsoever on the GCMS Notes since last December. It has always been:

Eligibility: Review Required
Security: Not Started
HIRV: [blank]
Criminality: Passed
Org Crime: [blank]
Medical: Passed - Expired
Misrepresentation: [blank]
Info Sharing: Complete
Other Reqs: [blank]
Final: [blank]

I never got any ghost updates. After seeing my application marked RR with NO reason or concern listed, I submitted more documents regarding my work experience in Dec 2020 via webform (nobody asked me to). I did answer Yes to one of the stats questions (visa refusal to the US once), hence Montreal office. The Notes did say something about no mention of 6-month average balance so I printed more bank statements, merged all files and sent them via webform, also in Dec 2020.

That's about it. No movement, no news, until today a message in my mailbox with the medical pass extension and PPR.

Good luck to everyone that's still waiting!

Congratulations! I am in a similar situation. No change since December 2020. Also answered 'Yes' to stat questions. Hopefully this means our files are being worked on regardless of GCMS notes. Do you plan to land anytime soon?

They seem to be working on the files in order. Good luck! I'll probably land early next year to start accumulating the days. Seemingly neverending journey ;).
