FOSS is a database for checking consistency of immigration information. If it is done when you apply for citizenship, your PR information will appear and will be compared against your current application.

I hope this helps.
thanks :)

FOSS is a list that canada has, concerning people they are watching for... these include those who have been denied visas in the past, or similar cases.

i went to canada before, but only via visitor visa... so i may have some entries with them. i would like to believe that "no history" is good news, or to mean "no history of bad record"... or just simply that i am not in the blacklist :)

i also don't have any idea what's keeping the local VO from proceeding with my application. and i cannot politely budger them since i'm still under 6 months timeframe, but i will still attempt when i'll hit my 5th month. i just fear that my file is way down in their priority cases.

when they see PCCs, usually they clear criminality. but security checks may take long coz it involves other agencies which are beyond CIC's (or even canada's secret service) control.
lets hope for the best....and stay in touch... :)

In My GCMS Notes

OFFICER REVIEW FOSS CHECK COMPLETED: no adverse information JOB OFFER: WP issued w/ LMIA VALID
Job offer letter reviewed but not verified EXPERIENCE R75(2) MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS- satisfied R76(1)
SELECTION CRITERIA- POINTS- satisfied Employment documents reviewed but not verified. SETTLEMENT
FUNDS N/A SELECTION PASSED ADMISSIBILITY: PC x PA: All required PCs on file and no A '35/36/37
concerns evident. Criminality passed. RCMP NRT Meds passed PPT valid

Why Agent say docs reviewed but not verified ? What does it mean they would do the verification or its not required or these are the standard lines ? read so many times but couldn't reach to any understanding ?

Why would one receive their gcms notes early, like after 2 weeks? Is this normal? an indication or precedent?

I guess it just means that VO made notes about your eligibility based on documents you submitted but genuineness of the documents is not verified. Sometimes when they have heavy suspicions in genuineness of the documents, they may try to verify it (by calling employer for example).

Got lucky? The delivery promise is *within* 30 calendar days, so it was fulfilled in that time.

Althought neither "make the decision". Decision is made by an officer.

Can anyone tell, if the police certificate check is done with the R10 check? Usually r10 is done within a month.

Police certificates are checked at the R10 stage of they exist and the RCMP check is initiated. Then the the A11.2 stage to check for any reportable traces and the RCMP should be concluded, after this stage your criminality should pass. The deciding officer in the end take a last check and gives his/her approval.

Does anyone have an email address where we can inquire about the overdue GCMS notes? I ordered them from IRCC itself, I did not use any outside service.
