I have applied for GCMS notes today. Will wait and see what comes up.

Sure. All the best! You can expect to see your eligibility processed. And it is the biggest hurdle in the whole process.

Today i called cic and finally they were able to tell me that Eligibility is Recommened Pass but Criminality and Security not started yet. Agent told me to wait until Dec 28th as Montreal received my case on June 28th even though my AOR is Jun 1st. I dont trust what they said and i am waiting on GCMS notes to come to get full clarity.

Well for a change what your agent told you sounds believable to me. From the trend we have seen from various GCMS notes Montreal seems to do eligibility within 1-2 months and then wait till 5/6 month to do rest of the processing. If your AOR is June 1st you can hope for first week of December.

@annevn8 You still haven't received your notes?

Hi Cansha, no not yet for the GCMS to arrive... they said Set ut as priority...
Excuse like high volume of requests they are processing at the moment....

Even notes are delayed

 

[cansha]

Oh no ... that's a little sad. But you're not alone. Actually I have seen quite a few cases on forums where people are complaining even notes are delayed. I think you're close to your 6 month timeline anyways. So if notes don't arrive by then just raise a CSE. Someone in July thread told me that they are processing CSE in 1 week these days. It used to be 3 weeks. If that is the case it is a good option if you don't hear anything either on notes or PPR by next week.

Haven't got PPR yet, but moving to Canada through ICT. Hope to see you all soon. Will plan a meetup in Montreal

Hey ... many congrats buddy! Nothing could be better than this. You already have a job in Canada and would be settled by the time PPR comes. I think you should be expecting something by second week of November. All the best for Canada!

We should definitely meet up in Montreal!

Yeah most likely all of us should be in Canada next year. We should plan to meet. Specially this group, you all are my buddies now

Yeah hopefully the wait is less while doing job search. And hopefully people will be active even after reaching Canada on the forum so that we can invite everyone for the party.
