I was asked for a translated copy of CNIC but on IIRC login it asks me for "US Permanent Resident ID (required)". I have no ties to US and this is a mistake, what should I do in this case.. should i send them CNIC translation through web form or just upload the CNIC where it says US Permanent Resident ID (required).
Both. Explain using the web form.

How to apply GCMS / ATIP notes.
Only a person who is in Canada can request the notes. Get your sponsor to request on PA'S behalf!

If principal applicant is in Canada, he/she can request for himself and apply for free under Privacy Act.

If sponsor is requesting it on behalf of Principal applicant, you need consent form from PA and $5 fee. You can receive consent form from spouse via email and upload it.Apply under Access to Information Act.

It takes about 30 days to receive by email. It is a ~30 pages document (can be more than 30 pages)

Consent form:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5744.asp

Section A - Principal Applicant details

Thanks for guidance well what u say why not my paper application linking with online account any idea
Maybe you are not entering everything correctly. Follow this:

Go to the following address:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/account.asp
Continue to GCKey. After you create your account, link your PR application to the account. (If you do not have a representative (lawyer), you will be able to link your application to your account)
1. Log in with GC Key account.
2. Permanent Residence > Family Class (Spouses)
2. Application Number and Family Name - Copy/pasted application number from email (including the F) and entered PA's last name.
3. City of Birth - I entered 1 space (hit spacebar once)
4. Country of Birth - Selected PA's country of birth
5. Passport Info - Did not enter any passport info
6. Other Application Info - Filled out the other application info as per our application and put '2' as the number of members in the application (Assuming 1 PA, 1 Sponsor, 0 dependents. If dependents then add number for dependents.)

For accompanying dependent: IF 1 dependent then put 3. If two dependents put 4.

Not sure about non accompanying dependent.

It's your choice, enter city of birth or just enter spacebar.

Follow the instructions from the cic website for removal of representative:

BGC: 27-07-2017
Med's Done....
17-05-2017
Just receieved an email from represntative stating that my application got transferred to LVO on 16th of Oct. On the other hand application’s status couple of days before was “reviewing eligibility” & “processing BGC”.
So apparently they started reviewing eligibility and BGC while my application was in cic mississauga.

P.S: @MM345 kindly update the spreadsheet.
Same thing happened to @ahsenshah and me as well. On my GCMS notes it mentioned that they've checked with the US partner (security).

In my opinion, the status changing before transfer might be worse (in terms of waiting), because we won't know when LVO starts working on the BGC.
