understanding GCMS notes

[artray]

Hey Guys, Wanted to know how long does NDVO usually takes for security check?

Here is my timeline:
Jan 19th AOr. FSW Inland

April 20- File transferred to NDVO due to workload

June 22- GCMS notes say Eligibility- met, Criminality- Passed, Medical- Passed, Security- Not Started.

Basically the first 3 were checked at Ottawa and cleared by FEBRUARY. I dont think NDVO has done any thing yet or did they?

Takes time, patience required Read my post above for details:

Initial checks of eligibility, security, education, criminality and medicals are all done in Ottawa (because they check completion of application and if you are meeting the score that you received an ITA for), but detailed checks for FSW Outland are usually done by the LVO of their country of citizenship or residence. NDVO is quite overflowing

Would the local VOs bother about the 6 month threshold though? 19th july will be 6months

Initial checks of eligibility, security, education, criminality and medicals are all done in Ottawa (because they check completion of application and if you are meeting the score that you received an ITA for), but detailed checks for FSW Outland are usually done by the LVO of their country of citizenship or residence. So, yes, your case is an anomaly - probably because NDVO is quite overflowing No worries - this may result in two situations:
Either Ottawa continues to be your primary VO and does your security (I don't think this will happen, since they have their own cases of CEC and PNP & FSW Inland applicants)OR
Your file is transferred to your local VO (NDVO) for security and a more detailed look at eligibility and education (which is what happens in almost all FSW Outland cases from my experience) - probable outcome.

How long after receiving your AOR did you order your GCMS? If you give me this date, I can reply more accurately.

AOR 13th Feb
GCMS requested on 24th April and received on 21May
Last updation as per GCMS is 31st Mar
Then I wrote on 30th May to CPC Ottawa about my primary office as an outlander, they replied on 23rd june and wording is "Our office confirms that your application is at our office and is being processed as per our regulatory timeline. Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalization."

I think most are trying, but no there is no guarantee. In fact, there is a separate thread in this forum of people waiting way more than six months - I think the longest wait reported so far has been 15 months.

However, they are clearing up backlog and since the ITAs being sent out have reduced, CIC expects most backlogs to clear before the end of this year - again, hopefully. Stay positive

Best to apply for gcms only three months after AOR, because (usually) nothing happens in these three months except checking that your application is complete and eligibility is still matching EE criteria. Having said that, what is your question? Also, are you CEC or FSW; Inland or Outland? Processing varies based on application type and if you have received nomination or LMIA.

Please provide more details - on what page and under which section? If it is under agent notes, then it could just be a typo.

Mates,

A trivial question. How could i copy the GCMS notes to a text file or copy it at all ?. It is always getting copied as an image. Can't even perform Ctrl + F ( Find operation). Thanks.

Use/try Nitro Pro Enterprise 8.5.3.14 (64 Bit / 32 Bit). A lot of options make a scanned PDF into a readable PDF (you can copy the text) and can convert PDF to word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF etc. Also combine multiply PDF files into a single file, you can adjust the size of a PDF file also.

Hi all,
I received GCMS notes 2 days back but didn't understand about the due date given just below the summary of the assessments.
After assessments, under APPLICATION ASSIGNMENT section, due date given is 6th July 2016. For what purpose and for what task, due date is given? Can I assume security will be completed by 6th July as medical, criminality and eligibility all passed. Left is the security.

Please advise.
