Pardon my ignorance but I got my 128 page long GCMS notes today . Is there any one particular page to look at to decipher the final status of application. I see a lot of statuses likes approved, pending, in review, in progress and I also see repetition of information.

Is there any links to refer which explains GCMS notes in detail ?

Thank You All!
Look for info on:
  • Page 2, this shows if your eligibility, criminality etc is passed or under review, Security is blank or not started
  • Page which mentions: ACTIVITY, Activities 1-6 will be the latest
  • Page which mentions NOTES (usually around the end of your notes), Notes 1-4 will be latest

Congrats eh...
Raise a cse https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx and also call up IRCC call centre so internally the agents can email to VO to send your PpR email

Just scroll down all the way to the last 2-3 pages where you should see notes on your file from program assistants / case analyst / visa officer. Note number 1 would be the most recent.

Good luck!

Dear members,

I’m stuck at IP1... I just received my first set of notes :

1/ Would you kindly advise if I will be able to send a separate signed and stamped jobs descriptions ? (In my country, employers policy is to issue it separately, not included in the LOE)

2/ Is there anything more required by case analyst ?

I talked to an agent a few days ago and he suggested to wait for updates or instructions.

Surprisingly, he didn’t ask for additional documents while I was proposing this option !

Many thanks

Are you missing your job duties and responsibilities in your employment letters? Analyst noted that they are missing.

My former employers refused to mention duties in my employment letters at the time of APR, they are still refusing to amend them, but one already accepted to issue a separate letter of duties.

What should I do ? Follow IRCC call centre agent recommendations and wait, or raise a CSE including a separate letter along with explanation ?

If you see, the status "Passed - Candidate" is set by GCMS-System. What I understand is that this status is set by system when you submit application where it check and passed based on the responses in application. After that, CIO office updates. What I see from my GCMS notes is that the status went like this" From Passed - Candidate > Not Started > Calculate > Calculation In Progress > Review Required > Met

I would recommended raising a CSE ASAP with new Job Duties letter from your employer, add satisfactory letter of explanation from your end. Ideally you need 2 new Job Duties letter for 2 of your employers. Otherwise, there is a high possibility of rejection.

I originally took a picture from my mobile but it wasn't visible enough so I later took a black and white scanned copy of the consent form and sent it to GCMS.

Will black an white scanned copy do or should I send a colored one?
