I just got my gcms note and I didn’t see approval, same old stuff. I just noticed this time some pages were blank

Hi @Adesewab, I have read through all your previous posts and it looks like you and I are in the same boat.
- May 2019 AOR,
- Medicals expired in April 2020
- Did re-medicals without request in Nov 2020, it didn't get approved and reflected in my account until Dec 28 2020. 8 or 9 weeks later.
- My last gcms note came in end of March 2021, also had some redacted pages but eligibility on page 2 has been review required since FOREVER.
- No case officer note. The last action on the file by a staff was by program assistant in June 2019. Since then, every other notes on file are records of my gcms note requests, web forms and emails to them(God knows there are plenty of those)

So when I saw people asking you to check page so so and so, that maybe you were missing some information, I just smile.

I really hope the blanked pages(under section 16) means that security has been concluded even though Security on page 2 says 'not started'.

I also considered hiring an immigration lawyer but that cost is not a joke. At the peak of my frustrations, I had a little thought of cancelling the application sef but God is more powerful than village people.

At this point I have accepted that it will happen when it will happen. I have stopped checking my account sef. I have continued to live my life and make decisions like Canada is not a consideration (cause this has held me back A LOT), when we get to that bridge, we will cross it.

If the last note on your application is by the Program assistant then that's a serious delay. You should at least have a note by the case processing agent. What I don't understand is how you have a review required for eligibility if the last note is by the program assistant.

For AOR May 2019, you should have even gotten your PPR before the pandemic started. But like someone said, the pandemic has added delays to an already sluggish visa office.

The bolded part I also don't understand.

Throughout 2020, I was requesting for gcms notes every other month, that maybe it will prompt someone to manually have a look at the file. I was sending emails to Accra, Hong Kong and Ottawa EVERY MONTH, still nothing happened. In a few of the emails, I have sent the gcms notes I received back to those 3 offices just hoping someone would notice something is not right

Some months they would acknowledge the mails, some other months they won't.

I kuku know that but what can I do. Even people that I helped with their application after I submitted are already in Canada.

Something is not right with their algorithm for file distribution or I just don't know what to assume anymore.

I may end up getting an immigration lawyer involved as soon as I can pull the funds together.

What he is saying is there are stages to getting eligibility cleared.

First one is R10 done by a Program Assistant around the time you get BIL/MEP (the first one)
Next review is done by a Case Processing Agent who then reviews your documents (Funds, Education, Work, Age, IELTS) and either gives it a pass or review required.
Next stage is the final one which is done by an Officer where Eligibility is conclusively Passed.

So the question is, what stage are you on and what prompted your RR?

I currently have RR on my application and its because of funds due to exchange rate.

This is exactly my point. In your case, you know why you have RR for eligibility.
@Deyo Usually you can get a RR by the program associate but this is usually for stat question and not eligibility. Nonetheles since you've studied the notes probably, you could be up to something regarding the algorithm. Maybe post a picture of the notes?
