So myCIC notified us today that our case was updated today...

We have been waiting forever to see that the medical we submitted passed (the physician told us it was a pass just after it was done). Today they finally recognized that.

Still BG in progress and case is open.

You can link it yourself and you probably don't need a lawyer. We only did a consult and got specific advice for our case. We did the rest...

Immigration Minister announced that they had compiled a fairly large number of inland PR applications in their inventory waiting for processing. To that end, they decided to open up an extra 12,000 spots for inland spousal sponsorship applicants for 2016, and they are trying (supposedly) to reduce the inventory as fast as they can. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2016-06-13.asp .


Strange. Usually it's only for stays more than 6 months....

As for the CSE, you can call the call centre to ask why there was no response other than the message was redirected. Did the PCC give you 60 days? If so, it is extremely important to get that to them as fast as possible. That might mean you are in a targeted group for inventory reduction. They are prioritising cases based on completeness, then how fast applicants respond to additional document requests. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2016/ob624.asp #2.


GCMS is Global Case Management System. It replaced a few disparate systems that government offices were using. GCMS is a universal system that is used by a few government offices, including CIC and CBSA.

GCMS Notes are the notes that the government has generated about you and your case. Requesting the case notes is possible under Access to Information or the Privacy act. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp (ATIP; $5) or http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp (PA; free)

Thank you so much for your response!! Really appreciate it , but just one question , we have already filed for the USA PCC , as soon as we got the letter for the same from the CIC , but still it takes around 1 - 3 month to get the USA PCC , our consultant has requested for extension for the USA PCC from the CIC , do you know is there any thing else which we can do to speed up the process for USA PCC ?

You may have to enter the details as they are on the forms submitted. Not all of the data is required. Try with just the Application number and surname.

Because I don't have any of the details, I can't really help much more than that. I would suggest calling the call centre and ask for help linking your application.

Hmm. At this point probably not. Your consultant should have known that you'd need an FBI clearance at the time of application, because it's well known they take a lot of time. If you signal to CIC that you've made the effort to get the PCC, they will wait.

When was your application received?

Wow that's so good to know! You're a week ahead of me. I should probably expect some changes too...
Sorry but I have no idea how long security check is suppose to last. I guess it depends on the home country of the PA or how many countries she/he had been living before... Anywayz, it's a big step forward! ;)
