Thank you for the share. Good luck with your app.

Did the shortage of days conversation come up in the interview ?

Not at all... see my reponse to this in another thread:

same here. I live downtown, got IP on Oct 25th. Nothing after that. I called IRCC and they told me that my file was transferred to Mississauga on Dec 2nd and they have to allocate a test center/date. Not sure why it's taking so long as I feel my case is really simple!! I was thinking of applying for GCMS notes and see what is causing the bottleneck all of a sudden!

what are GCMS notes?

 

[JB0405]

Its access to information

what are GCMS notes?

It's access to information. It contains a detailed record of each applicant’s file, including correspondence from and to IRCC, documents received from the applicant, detailed notes from the officers reviewing the file among others. I believe there is a small fee for requesting it and a 30 day waiting period.

would this affect the application in any way? I mean it is only 5 bucks, why aren't we requesting this?

It's not going to affect your application in any way as far as I know. All they are going to do is send you a document with all the information they have on your file. Its only 5 Dollars, but it will take a month to get this information from IRCC. The wait time is the only reason that is stopping me. I have asked people in this forum if they have requested the notes for citizenship application, but no one replied so far.

Does anyone got oath invite from Edmonton office who passed test from 31 Jan 2018 and onward with DM on ecase ?

I wonder why Edmonton office taking long time for oath invite for cases where there is no pending activities.

Its actually free if you order for yourself under privacy act.
