I think it did. When I applied for my 1st set of notes, thats when they found my application from April and sent the AOR one day before they responded to me.
Curious as to when you applied for the GCMS notes.

Interesting. May be a coincidence. When did you request for GCMS notes?

Honestly I don't know either... I've seen some people waiting for a very long time and others as fast as 2 months. One thing I've notice is that the Mississauga office seems to be processing applications the faster than others.

Same here. Since Aug 11. If you look at gcms notes you can see the put a due dare every month and there is a big due date 1 year after aor. I think we have to wait more :confused:

Yes, Mississauga office is far more efficient than Scarborough but then it seems there are no KPIs to ensure all applications are processed efficiently regardless of location. Issue is year end is coming and many have travel plans and waiting for the passport. We are just stuck with Scarborough office.

Hi everyone, Can you please let me know what to look at in GCMS notes? I have just received it. LPP status shows as Not started, is there anything to look at?
