Got my GCMS notes today. Info sharing complete, Criminality : In progress. Eligibility and Security not started. Although on the notes, there was a recommendation pass security since February. Primary VO: Vancouver. Secondary : Centralized Intake Centre in Sydney, NS. EDIT: on the 14th of June, it seemed my primary VO was updated to the Centralized Intake Centre. Not sure if I am reading that correctly.
When was it generated? Was it generated in June or July. If not July then it’s old information you are getting

Primary office generally transferred from secondary office.It means your file in CIO first,then it transferred to Vancouver.

Thank you! I guess we have cleared the biggest hurdle and now we just need to patiently (coming from the most impatient person lol) *checking my inbox for spam mail while typing this*

Eligibility has not even started. I have spent almost 8 years in Canada, I am not sure why the criminality is taking too long. My AOR is Feb. 1st.

Hi guys. I'm sharing my experience with Van Office.

Timeline:
2.03 AOR
2.25 MEP
6.07 GU
7.03 Ordered GCMS note, maybe receive in Aug
Still Pending, Current status is: Criminality in Progress, Eligibility & Security not started.
It was always in Van office, never been transferred, last time I checked was on 7.04

I called IRCC every month. My status never changed since the first time I call in 3.03 (Criminality in Progress, Eligibility & Security not started.) I also called after 1 week since I received GU in 6.07, they told me its just a officer randomly clicked in my profile and there's no change in status. Last time I called is 7.04, there's no change as well. The guy over the phone tells me it's quite common in Vancouver office now, but they will process my application in 6 month mark, I hope its true.

Thank you very much! Hope the best.
Hi Everyone, you are saying it will be done in 6 months time but do you know anyone in this group who are waiting from more than 6 months. And Aviii123 when you will complete 6 months period so before that you have to receive the ecopr as well right
