understanding GCMS notes

[MrTee]

Hi All,

I recently received my GCMS notes, I am an FSW Outland applicant.

My AOR date is 27th March 2016. There are 3 reviews that are done within a week's time till 2nd April (during this time my BG check has gone into in progress to not needed) this includes Support agent review and 2 agents review. One is for R10 and the other one is A11.2. Both r10 & a11.2 seem okay and security has not started. After this the next update was due on 30th June 2016. I have a few questions, if anyone can help:

1. Where can I find my visa office? Is this always supposed to be a local VO? I am a Pakistani applicant and my primary office says CPC Ottawa. The file has been transfer within Centralized office few times due to work load distribution.
2. Any idea how many agents review the case? As mentioned, mine has been reviewed by 3 so far and everything looks okay.
3. What does security check involve? How long could it take to be completed for an FSW outland applicant?
4. What does 'NRT' in the biographic activity means?

Thanks!

Yes. They are both separate threads. Eligibility validates that you meet the requirements of the program you applied under while security is your threat level to Canada. Failing either is of course a refusal.

ok, usually met is the word used by agents/service support agents.........whereas recommended passed is the word used by case analysts.....case analyst is superior and recommended passed is better and safer term.......it implies he is recommending u to case officer(highest authority/decision maker).

so u infer there was an update on 30th based on GCMS or was there an update on ur cic account.......iam also FSW outland and Aor in april.

I have a Case Analyst for my application for A11.2 and it has a "MET", so what does that imply?

In my GCMS notes, Eligibility is set as not started, however in the application history, it comes up to calculate then in progress and them review required to not started again. Post this my file was sent to NDVO on 20th May and no movement after that.

can u put in the case analyst paragraph.

The next recalculation date means that month there would be a change in your points. Most probably due to your work experience increasing by a year. And no it does not mean that it will take more than 6 months. Your ppr depends on your case, travel and other factors like visa office and officer.

Thank you very much for your response. Its helpful. Its already 5 months 6days. This painful never ending wait needs to come to an end .
