Hi all -

My application does seem to be progressing, but I've seen so many folks post on here (and in the spreadsheet) with times from test to DM measured in days... often the next day or within a week.

I took my test on April 18 (20/20 score) and nothing since. The case officer said my background checks look fine, so all I can think of is that they are validating my rather extensive travel history. (I provided him with a color-coded 2 page spreadsheet documenting all of my travel absences in a much nicer format than the physical presence calculator. Maybe I should have left it alone. :) )

Anyway, I assume there is nothing to worry about, so frankly, this is a bit of a "therapy post".

Thanks for listening. :)

When you do your test ... If the officer finds that everything is complete you will get DM in the next days if not it will go back to the queue to complete the verification

In your case when the interview time came there was still checks to be made that's why you didn't get DM

As far as how long it would take it's very tough to tell

You can easily check in your city the people that are getting invite when did they get DM ... it will give you a very good idea how far you are from invite

Yes, I received GCMS notes about a month back but I couldn't get much out of those. It was a long document with repetitive information. So, I ordered another copy with a time lapse of a month. That may help in determining any progress on my application through a comparison of the two documents.

Was your security check done in your ATIP ?

That had a "Not Started" in there.
Ok means that security check is not done, once all the checks are done prohibition is automatically passed

When was your GCMS generated ?

It was generated on Feb 26, 2018. I requested another on April 4, 2018 which I hope to receive sometime soon.
I think I m in the exact same situation :-(
Assessments: (Montreal Office)

Knowledge: Passed (Feb 14)
Residence: In Progress
Language: Passed
Prohibition: Not Yet Started (What is this?)
Security: (Nothing just blank)
Criminality: Passed
(It also says by like page 10: Eligibility Adult Prohibition: 1 Status: Completed).

I was requested an RQ0205 (Taxes, Contracts, Rentals, Passport Copies) which I replied to like 1week later (Apri 02). ATIP says my supplementary documents are being reviewed/analyzed...

I know what patience is but I have been in Canada for 11years now and missed C-24 by 8weeks.... and I am very in a rush as I need to plan for many things and make some decision.. you'all know the feeling anyways.

PS: IP Since Jan 05/18

Any thoughts/ideas/advices(other then waiting lol)...
THANK YOU FRIENDS :) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.
