GCMS notes are drawn by an external agency which is in no way related to IRCC. You can order for these notes whatever number of times, it doesn't affect your application in anyway. Neither is it processed faster nor is it held back.
I received this email today. I am in my 20 months and 3 weeks already
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
Please be informed that we are awaiting the results of some internal processing prior to the finalization of your application. As a result, the assessment period will be outside of our posted processing times. At this time, there is nothing that is required on your part. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated
Regards,
Well as you may be aware that the current processing time is 20 months. So lets say your application is filed on October 1st 2017 then in that case your 20 months get over on May 31st 2019. My suggestion is now do not contact them till you complete at least 21 months of your processing time. And if on the date you complete 20 months you see the processing time has increased to 21 or 22 months then extend your date further by those many months and wait again till you exceed the processing time given and an additional month.
Just for your information, I am an applicant from May 8th 2017 and they haven't yet reached till me. Currently they are processing applications from February and March 2017. Just one application from July 2017 was surprisingly processed recently. Anyway so the bottom line is you, I and many other applicants like us who have filed since March 2017 are still required to wait in line. All the best!
What is good they do not ask for any document. What about country of origin? Why I am asking, it can vary a bit depending on cointry. I am in my 18th month, from Georgia.
I need help, I have applied for Federal, My documents were delivered on 7th August 2018 and Even since I am waiting for AOR,
I have contacted them many times through Phone and WebForm and getting same answer, We have received your application and it's under processing now.
I am very confused and not sure what to do, Do we have anyone in similar situation ?
This is what I was answered via webform, Same answer every time.

Hi,
May I ask you how did you contact them per phone without an application number? My documents are received on 27.12.18 but the only thing I was able to do is to report technical issue, because I couldn’t link my paper application to my account and I received a standard answer
