I haven't gotten it yet.

In that case, how long are the visas supposed to be for? In past, someone told me that they are issued for a year; however, I recently found out that it's not always the case. Can you provide your insight on this?

I just received my second set of GCMS notes. I ordered them on December 7th, and the document is dated as December 10th.

Basically my application was idle from August 20th, when my Review Required was cleared, until November 2nd, when an agent wrote a note stating that my wife and I have passed the criminality (which was already 'passed' since August!?)

On December 21st I called CIC and the security was still 'not started'.

No wonder my application is late...

Guys - I have applied for my second set of GCMS notes on 6 dec. I got it today and would just like to share something interesting. I went into IP2 on Nov 15 and have called agent in 4th week of Nov and I was told Criminality passed and Security is Ongoing.

As per GCMS notes my Security is showing "Not started" as of 6 Dec. So one cannot trust what these agents tell you.

One Time Visa is valid till passport expiry date of any of the PR applicants (including dependents) or medicals expiry (including dependents) whichever is earliest.

Exactly!
Especially with regards to "security" status. They give very contradicting information and you were now worried about being in SS. Only approved applications told by call agents can be ascertained to be true.

@cansha @legalfalcon you both seem to be well informed and highly regarded. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

It takes 3-5 weeks before any new documents sent by your are added to your file. Also it is discretionary whether to accept them or not.

Ok thanks @legalfalcon . Does added mean they reviewed are reviewed by a case officer or does it mean they that only at that point are the new documents in a position to be reviewed by a case officer whenever they circle back to the application.

Added simply means attached to your file. Some VOs are faster then others, so they may even review it, but this is the general trend.
