Anyone Outland from Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb AoR still stuck in Eligibility Met and no updates on Security or Criminality? I'm slowly losing patience after absolutely 0 updates since May, in fact the last time my GCMS had any activity was beginning of March

@raindropcreature same goes with me. Eligibility met since Feb. Criminality in progress (submitted police check which hasnt been reviewed since Feb). No change in application since then. I know its frustrating but they are understaffed I guess.

Hi all! Not sure what it means, but had two GU in the last two weeks. VO Ottawa, FSW-O, Sep 2019 AOR. I have also had a GU when my medicals expired in September (changed to "you don't need a medical exam"). I wonder if those ghost updates mean some progress is eventually happening with my application.

Before that, I had a GU in Feb and my Eligibility and Criminality were passed as per the phone call/GCMS notes. Then on Feb 25th came an ADR triggered by SS, and silence since then - until now.

Got re medical request today

AOR 20 December, 2019
VO Ottawa(last time I checked), wondering if it's moved to NDVO
Previous meds done on December 4, 2019
Previous meds passed on January 20, 2020

My gcms said I have Latent tuberculosis, dunno how they came to this conclusion as they haven't done any tests for it.

Maybe they want to see if it's turned into active TB, as it does in 5-10% of latent cases Or it's just routine re-medicals.
