You are wrong. Only 30% people receive in that timeframe , rest have to wait anywhere from 7-12 months.

Disagree. You can have your opinion but you cannot explicitly term this wrong.
Your figure is wrong.

Do US residents receive GCMS notes faster?

I applied on Feb 14 and still hasn't arrived

Not really. I applied on February 8 but got it after almost a month. By that point already received PPR email on February 28
So no use. It's a misconception that once you order GCMS notes, it triggers your application further. It's a myth spread by people doing business around GCMS.
I agree that US resident applications are processed faster

A little update. Called today, spoke to an agent. He sad that the eligibility assessment still has not started yet.

I was aware US residents have their applications processed faster

I actually ordered GCMS notes for exactly that reason that it will trigger my application lol. Guess, I fell into that scam too

I don't think is because of maintenance ,otherwise everyone else would have had one in their profile.I think its related specifically to your application

Completely agree with you..people here create anxiety by stating overdramatic comments..some exceptions can be there with few files but looking at the trend most files get sorted within the timeline provided

You liked the wrong comment there, pal . That very same person was actually the one stating that almost all applications are processed within 7-12 months, and only the rare 30% get it within the timeframe, which is total bs.
It would be so nice if those pessimistic people did not try to sell false information for facts. I know I'm not the only one who gets irritated by the so-called-statistics from various 'experts' .
So guys, stay positive. Don't trust everything you read on this forum. Share good news, and most importantly, if the source of the information you're about to share is your own insecurities, PLEASE keep that 'information' to yourself.
Peace!

Thanks @jaySil I am keeping my fingers crossed.

@jaySil My passport was processed. I could now see the "Document Status" table between the tables "Details about your application status" and "Messages about your application".

Also, the status has changed as listed below.

• Review of eligibility: Your eligibility has been reviewed. Please see the final decision below.
• Review of medical results: You passed the medical exam.
• Review of additional documents: We do not need additional documents.
• Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
• Biometrics: We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
• Background check: Your background check was completed.
• Final decision: Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.

That's great news. I'm still waiting for my return envelop to be activated in Canada Post site. Following thread seems to be helpful when waiting to receive the passports back.

Me too, feb 14..nothing yet. Have u contacted them?

 

[balzie101]

I have a friend who did it. Got both applications approved with like a month difference. First study permit, than PR.

So its permitted to apply for study visa while awaiting ppr?

 

[balzie101]

Also pls what happens if u travel out of the country then ppr arrives?? Can we post the passport to our home country's passport office for stamping or do we have to travel back home?

Not always it happens that VO actually starts working on your file when he/she is organizing your Notes.But it has been a proven factor for triggering many PRs when the officer might have thought well I am here already working on the file, why not approve/decline or do whatever he/she can to progress it....
Ordering GCMS notes is not a scam at all....People can order free of cost if they are in Canada....
Search on here for all cases where people received PR within few days of ordering GCMS notes...I promise you, you will find atleast 20-30 cases if not more....

So as per your notes when did they approve your PR?

I guess that GCMS may had some effect on my application as well.

I applied 2 sets of GCMS.
One on Jan 4th
and one on Feb 6th
The first GCMS notes were generated on Jan 16th (according to the second set of GCMS)
and my eligibility and criminality was passed on the same day (within 3 mins between themselves according to the second GCMS notes).
And also received "How to find a job in Canada" email on Jan 16th.
PPR on Feb 28th.
