Hey everyone. I got my LPP done on June 16th and still no Oath invite. It is with Mississauga office. Any idea how long the wait is?

Email your test office.

How do you request GCMS ?

There is a great step-by-step instructional post here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...order-gcms-notes-step-by-step-process.513893/

Or you can just go directly here: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/ It is very straightforward and intuitive process.

Make sure you have all your personal and application information ready and handy. There is free option or $5 option. I heard people went with free option (some reported that never received GCMS notes.) I never had experience with the free option. I always choose to go with the paid $5 option.

Hey Rushi! Looks like GCMS notes come back quickly these days, usually withing 12-15 days. 130 pages is quite a lot and extensive. Could be due to a family type application. As a single applicant, mine were like 30-40 pages only. Yeah, most of the notes are coded and ciphered. However, you will definitely see the exact status of the application under "Location" usually page 3 or 4 or 5. It should say if you application is Review Ready or Test Ready, or Ceremony ready. In your case, I think, it should say "Review Ready" and then indicate what PM it was assigned to. PM01, PM02 or PM03. These are all different rant officers. If it is PM01 then it is the lowest rank officer, which may indicate that your application is straightforward. If it is PM03 then it might mean that the application will be slowed down by some additional checks. Alos, at the last pages, at "Notes" it might have some insightful specific to your application information.

Hope you get your notes soon! But most importantly, hope you get "discission made" even sooner!

Thank you so much for your reply! I’ll share my notes once I get them, hopefully soon

Hello everyone, I had my online oath ceremony on 2023 July 13th, after the ceremony I returned the oath form to the IRCC Edmonton. But today (2023 July 18), I found in the email subject line I wrote the wrong initial of the clerk 's name. And my tracker has no update, the citizenship ceremony is in progress. What should I do? Anyone in this situation before? I will appreciate any advice. Thank you.

@Dr. Walden -
Hey, I ordered my GCMS notes yesterday. I'm wondering how I should go about reading them once they arrive? The GCMS notes I received from my Permanent Residency (PR) application were quite extensive, spanning over 130 pages.

Hi Rushi - How exactly to order GCMS notes? As in, what selections to make on the form? Is it Immigration/Citizenship Records -> Status Update of File/Reasons for Refusal/Officer's Electronic Notes?

So once again no updates on my end. Still stuck in LPP in progress. HOWEVER, my MP’s office emailed me back to let me know pretty much everything I already knew about my file except that my actual LPP has not even started (even though it says in progress) This is so disappointing to hear.

That's weird. The period starts from July 14 you should've received an e-mail at least the day in advance (13th) from ircc.mtlconvotests-examensconvomtl.ircc@cic.gc.ca
I think you should call them.

I emailed them but bottom line is they won’t get involved until after the 19 months.
