Hey guys,
my AOR is May 2020
I just received gcms notes. It says special program designated to PRBIO. Does anyone know what this means?
Also my gcms show counterfoil number under COPR but status is cancelled. I am worried even though on page 3 it says Approved.

Many speculate that PRBIO means an officee has to flip out our biometrics status to "received"manually. Maybe they dont have an automated system to do this. I have PRBIO too on my gcms

I have PRBIO too but my criminality is passed. Officer put notes that previous bio has been run again against some sort of platform (I forgot the platform) and passed, however I still have PRBIO and security is not started

What was the final interval between completed medical and eligibility being completed?

In my case, eligibility started pretty late, but it was done in 15-20 days. However, its the background thats taking forever. In the latest GCMS i can see that they got it passed from RCMP, but perhaps waiting to get confirmation from FBI and International Partners. I guess when that happens, they will change Background to complete status.

Then go for 15 day long break and then come back and issue Pre-arrival....and so on....argghhhh......CIC!!!
