Canada file status

Checking an application status How can I check the status of my application? When can I check my application status? What does the progress bar in my application status mean? Why did the processing time and estimated date change on my progress bar?

Why is there a difference between my progress bar and my application progress? I sent my application a while ago, but there is no record of my application online. My family and I applied for permanent residence. I am sponsoring a member of my family and cannot see the status of my application on CAS. Why can I no longer use CAS to see the status of my application to sponsor a family member?

I got a letter, so can I use CAS? I have changed my surname or family name recently. What name should I use to access CAS? If the name of my place of birth has changed, what place of birth should I enter in CAS? What does the CAS case status in process mean?

Why has the status of my immigration application on CAS not changed, even though I sent it a long time ago?

If your application is relatively new than it is likely to be on GCMS. The average processing time to receive your GCMS notes is about 4 to 6 weeks.

What you will receive back is a screenshot of your files. GCMS are quite long, sometimes up to 30 pages. In both cases they contain some very simple to understand and useful information on the status of your application. But they also contain abbreviations or numbered codes used by Immigration officials and these may need interpreting to help you get the most out of your file. Finally, one of the most useful aspects of an Access to Information and Personal Information Request on your immigration file is it can help you anticipate problems before they happen.

For example, once you receive an Acknowledgement of Receipt , AOR , then your file is updated with a preliminary points assessment. A request to see your file can help you see if IRCC has done an accurate assessment of your application, before the formal assessment. That means you can then send in additional documentation, for example, to strengthen your application and ensure that your formal assessment is more positive.

Another reason for doing a request is to see why your application has been selected for an interview and this may help you prepare for the upcoming interview. So filing an Access to Information and Personal Information Request is not just a right, but a useful tool to give your application the best possible chance to succeed.
