I applied for my GCMS notes on February 2nd, just out of curiosity. I did not expect to find any useful information there. I just received the GCMS notes and got the following info. Can someone please help me understand it? :)

Date: 02/02/2016
AGENT REVIEW A11.2 *** Having analysed this application based on the documents submitted by the applicant and the information contained in the application: A11.2 decision: Met 75(2) FSW Minimum Requirements - Appears Met 76(1)(a) Selection Criteria - FSW Points: Appears Met FSW points total: 82 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) CRS points at invitation to apply (ITA): 478 CRS minimum score for round 461 Current CRS score:472 Change in PA age between ITA and APR which changed the CRS points. I have reviewed information and documents for CRS points for the following: PA awarded points as single at ITA and APR PA awarded points for 3 year foreign work experience with XYZ Co. and ABC Co. Primary Occupation: NOC ??? with XYZ comapny. Submitted reference letter confirms applicant's employment in declared occupation throughout specified period and described duties which are consistent with NOC Skill Level B. Reference letter confirms full-time employment or the equivalent in part-time employment

Police certificates R10 OK All police certificates on application; RCMP Check NRT. Criminality Decision Passed. AGE Applicant's age reviewed and has changed from ITA to e-APR

29/01/2016: Education/Education Documents Canadian educational credential on file; credential reviewed; Canadian institution recognised; Credential is consistent with level of education claimed by PA under EE Eligibility

23/01/2016: Review Type: Support Service Agent- Sent Application for R10 Review; RCMP Check Initiated; Documents set for Review: Client Info/Education/Proof of Funds/Police Certificate.

03/02/2016: Paper file transfer history
Transfer Reason: Workload re-distribution. Office: CPC-Ottawa from Centralized Intake Office.

Under Assessments:
Eligibility: Met
Security: Not Started
Criminality: Passed
Medical: Passed

I just have a few questions: First, what stage of the application process am i in right now? I didn't quite understand the difference between criminality and security?
Secondly, I found notes on all the other documents sent for review by the Support Service Agents except proof of funds, although it was stated as MET. Does that mean that its been assessed or is still being assessed? Thirdly, What does Due Date mean? Mine says March 2nd 2016? Is my application ok? I would appreciate all inputs from the experts in the house. Thanks!!
I guess you are just waiting like most of us to get a request for PPR. My notes look like yours just that I am a month and a half ahead of you.

don't know about PP, bot from the context I would say v/u stands for : valid untill

PS. OTHER REQUEST stands for request that is not made by you, I would say the request made for you by your MP, he made the request on the jan21 2016. Not started could just be a mandatory feild

Are you a FSW-Inland candidate too? I guess its a waiting game from here on. Do you know how long the security checks take? That's the only section not yet passed.

@ llgn_sp: From the looks of your GCMS notes, I'm wondering why you still don't have PPR! Maybe security checks are still ongoing, that's why they can't issue the PPR yet.

Thank you for your reply!

I have a theory: My country needs visas for entering Canada (not a visa exempt country). Nevertheless, it will become a visa-exempt country on March 15th. Maybe they are waiting for this date so they dont have to give me a visa? And only a copr?

What are these "Security Checks", by the way?
And how long do they take?
Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Security checks are the background checks done by CSIS, Canadian Intelligence, againt security threats databases, such as terrorism and espionage. They also request checks from all the countries you lived in for more than 6 months. That is why it take long to process.

Oh OK! Got it!
Thanks!

Well, I hope it doesnt take too long. I only lived in 1 country for over 6 months... and in a country that is free of terrorism.

Hope they speed up!

Guys, do you know where in the GCMS notes PoF documents are reviewed? Is PoF mentioned anywhere in your notes? Under what review?

For ordering GCMS, which option should I pick between "Privacy Act" and "Access to Information"?
