@Lydz86 That absolutely makes sense - wish i knew this or someone told me this while i applied - didnt have to make the 11 month wait this stressful and tedious ..
My life has been ruined by this whole process and I wouldn't want anyone else to make the same mistakes I made. Some are lucky and then you have the rest of us. CIC must tell me something by November so that's the only deadline date I'll believe in at this point. To have "express" entry applicants wait over a year would be evil.
My AOR is March 26, 2019 and visa office is London, England. As per them my file is currently pending review by an Immigration Officer. Im 23 days shy of completing six months.
Do you suggest that i order gcms notes or wait patiently? As per your previous comment, if i have understood it correctly, this is the final review queue with applications that are seemed to be meeting criteria for final approval. Im just not sure if at this stage i still need to worry n order gcms notes or just wait patiently?

This process has been extremely, extremely stressful. My 2019 has been awful thanks to this process taking so much longer than they told us. Some of you know my story. Anyway, I am praying that everyone gets PPR very soon.

Omg, same! This wait has really ruined my life, and pretty much all my plans. Every little thing I had planned has been delayed!!!
And I'm also holding on to the 12 month mark at this point. As per immitracker, there's really not that many cases that go beyond 365 days in comparison to the amount of approvals before 365 days. Moreover, I doubt they'd wanna carry this many backlogged applications from 2018 over to 2020. We all just need to keep positive, no matter how hard it is.

We finally received our GCMS notes.I went through the GCMS forum but couldn't understand all on it.Basically theres a RR on our application and we would really appreciate any help in interpreting the notes.Its been 10+ months for us and our medicals expire in 20 days. Here is the text;
First I though, the RR was for NOC and POF, but the following paragraph confirms that job duties match the NOC.What does the highlighted line mean?
"EXPERIENCE:Lock-in-Date:2018-10-20.Primary Occupation:NOC 2173 Software Engineers EDUCATION CREDENTIAL PROVIDED:Master's Degree:Information Networking xxxx-xx-xx to xxx-xx-xx-Senior Software Engineer (NOC 2173)-at XXXXXX-eDOC#xxxxxxxxx-Letter Dated 2018-10-05 appears to confirm employment in the declared occupation throughout the specified period and provides a job description which is consistent with the lead statement and main duties as set in the declared NOC category-Letter confirms salary of X/year -Letter confirms fulltime employment.FSW Work :9 years and 5 months,CRS Foreign Work: 9 years and 5 months.FSW Work:1 year CRS Foreign Work:3 + years
WORK EXPERIENCE: 6 +years ,15 FSW points"
Mostly the RR is for POF.We uploaded Bank Statements.The GCMS notes say the following;
"SETTLEMENT FUNDS: PLEASE REVIEW ACCOUNT STATEMENTS-EDOC XXXXXXXXX-CAD X per ABC Bank Statement at 2018-10-04 ( amnt comfortably above the required cutoff)"

It there long a blank gap after "Recommendation: Review Required:"
If that's the case then i think those notes are blanked out.
When we ordered the first set of notes, it was blanked out but when we received 2nd set of notes, it is showing what is exactly review required.
Here is the screenshot for 2nd set of notes where I got the review required for unable to verify employer and please review funds. https://ibb.co/Vv06vK0
If you see this link, there is huge space (blank) between "Recommendation: Review Required:" to "A11.2" You can see a part of A is cut off. It means the notes were blanked out.
We have received 2nd set of notes. We found out that the first set of notes were blanked out but the new notes show that the unable to verify the employer:

I think no need to worry . Self employment cases normally take longer.
I am in RR too. But for experience letter.
Hope they don't refuse after so long.
Good luck.
