Ok take it from me, someone who was a bit paranoid about the GCMS notes thing, and feeling the need to order one every 2 weeks.

Bottom line is, it's a waste of time and money to order that often, you should order a maximum of 1 set of notes a month.

When I tried to order every 2 weeks, they would process the first request, but not the second, yet they still kept my $5 from the second set of notes. Basically after 30 days, they would give me the notes from the 1st request, but then 2 weeks later, they would not send the notes from 2nd request.

It might annoy them a little, but it has 0 effect on your application. I ordered a total of 5 GCMS notes, and my application went very quickly, got Decision Made in 7 months.

It is their policy to retun all the pictures and documents you sent with your Appliction and those can not be returned by email.

SVO will return those to the PR Applicant's mailing address as shown at ecas.

There have been quite a few persons to get email regarding passport request. Not just us. And a week later, your photos will be returned and in your mail address. I personally prefer email, as it shortens the waitime by a week or so.

Hi Shaw

That's what I thought. My GCMS notes were collected as of August 25 where it only says eligibility not started. Note section only has notes from Mississauga that are all positive. I sent an email to SVO case specific inquiry on Sept 3 but no reply yet. And MP office told me two weeks ago the initial assessment has not been performed yet. It's a bit strange that they haven't touched it even after I emailed. Maybe they are giving evasive answers to MP and actually began initial processing, at least I hope so. What's your thought? Should I send another email?

Yes you should send SVO case specifie inquiry to know the status of your application.

Yes SVO gave me a evasive/ hiding answer to my quary.

Thanks Shaw and Mikeymike for your comments. I will just send them a case specific inquiry for now.

Hi everyone! it's our 1st wedding anniversary today, sad to say we're also 1 year apart.. But i'm hoping that soon we'll be together again, As all of us have been praying.Last October 7 our ECAS changed from application received' to 'in process'.. hopefully we'll be hearing soon from SVO. Our application was filed 9th of June. I'm not sure what should i expect after 'in process'.. or how many more months to wait for them to process our application.

SVO will generally send PPR by mail as they have to send all pictures etc with that.

You must get PPR by 2 weeks. Now-a-days SVO mistypers address over letter (especially in Bangladesh cases), so you may not get it.

I suggest you should check you local post office for the mail after 2 weeks.

Hi shaw! I'm just wondering if SVO will send the PPR to me or to my husband in Canada? I'm based here in Singapore. Thanks.

Hey congrats on your anniversary, hope your husband didn't forget it

If you filed in June and you got in process now, then you should get Decision Made around December (6 months), provided the background/medical checks go well and there are no other issues. The Singapore office has gotten substantially faster than the last 2 years (despite the fact that the posted processing time went up to 31 months), as people took 1 year minimum to get In Process even with no interview. We're all very fortunate this year.

It took about 2 months, but in reality, it should only be 1 month, because my wife came to visit me on a TRV for a month. Had she remained in her country, we would've gotten DM 1 month after In Process.

For you, its hard to say when you will get DM, the biggest factor is when they ask for passport, which they should do pretty soon.

Thank you! Luckily my husband remembered
Praying that our application has no issues and my interview will be waived! Crossed fingers hehe ;D
Just excited to see my husband next year.. May I ask if they will send PPR as well as the rest of the pictures in Canada or here in Singapore as I am based here.
Thanks

Each person is different, but for my wife, she got PPR along with our photos from our application. They sent to her home address in Vietnam.

Hello all. New to the forum and have two questions:

1. Which address that you put on the envelope when you mailed all the applications? Is it Canada or the country of origin of the applicant? I assume CIC is going to send the PR card to this address so I just want to be very sure that I'm there when it arrives.

2. Do you send your police certificate and medical records together inside the envelope the first time you send out your application? I am a bit confused because I see people keep getting requests for these records whereas CIC website lists it in their application checklist. I just don't believe that many people are late in sending these. Are they waiting for the first stage to be approved first? Won't CPC return the application if it's not complete?

I don't see your full background to guide you. I think you should read www.cic.gc.ca for immigration throughly and find out which category your case falls and then check the forms, guides, check-list etc. Everything is in there.

Or otherwise consult a immigration lawyer or consultant.
