This is indeed an interesting bulletin, and information worth taking note of. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
The core of this (repeated system checks as an application is processed) was expected even if not previously "mandated," and so is not news in that sense, but it does help to emphasize some things worth recognizing by applicants. -- Foremost, this is not a one-time check. See the next to last paragraph:
While the bulletin describes certain specific times the GSMS check should be done, multiple times in the course of the application process (prior to scheduling the test, prior to submitting to the judge, prior to scheduling for oath, and so on), this impresses upon CIC personnel the imperative to check GCMS every time they do some work on a file. Why this bulletin has been issued looms very, very large:
It is my impression that this is relative to (or derivative of) just one investigation, the unraveling of a network of fraud exposed when it was recognized that a single Mississauga address was being used as the residential address by, at first blush, many applicants, which was eventually discovered to be hundreds of applicants. The bulletin suggests that this one investigation is now linked to 4000 client notes in the system, suggesting that the extent of fraud being perpetrated is perhaps far greater than previously imagined. No wonder citizenship application processing times have dramatically slowed in the last several months. Sidenote: A summary, synopsis, or paraphrase with a link, or as you have provided, at least the url address, is preferred to quoting the entirety of publications (not critical for CIC pages, as there is no copyright issue, but the better practice is still to not quote the entirey of external sources). |

Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.
