An applicant whose Canadian Experience Class (Inland) application had been under further review for 3 months with no updates, despite all other assessments passing, asked whether they should be concerned.
What the group suggested:- Request your GCMS (Global Case Management System) notes. These notes, obtained through an Access to Information Request, can reveal the specific reason behind the delay or review that isn't visible in the online portal.
Practical takeaway:- "Further review" delays are common and don't necessarily indicate a problem, but if it drags on with no visible movement, requesting your GCMS notes is the standard way to get more insight into what's happening behind the scenes.
- Be prepared for GCMS requests to also take time to process, so use it as a way to understand the situation rather than expecting an instant resolution.
