Got an update on GcKey "We are processing your background check" and DM on Ecas
Awwwww we thank God! At least we know they're working, hopefully you'll get pick up mail by tomorrow or Monday.
I have checked my gckey and ecas but there's no update. I think yours got there a week before mine so I should be expecting a change next week.

Does anyone know if its a good idea to request for GCMS notes or not?
I think so. I did it at around the 4 month mark and then again about a week ago (haven't arrived yet). They can give you an idea if the visa office has noticed anything strange in your application and if you might have to do an interview.

Here is a good thread about it:

4 months from application received? if so, did it have valuable info or was too early?

I applied early April and got my first lot of notes in August. For $5, it was ok. The officer that goes through the file in Mississauga can highlight to the officer in Accra if they think you will need an interview. Mine didn't indicate anything like that. Of course that can change as the Accra officer may see things differently, but it makes me feel a little better I guess for now. And I applied almost a year ago so things may start to speed up as they get through the backlog so what I saw at 4 months back then may be different to where they are at now.

I have done it again now cos it takes a month to receive the notes. I haven't heard anything when others that applied around the same time have. So I want to know why we haven't, and IF we get called for an interview, I want to know what they are concerned about.

You can order multiple times. You need a form signed by the applicant giving the sponsor permission though. There is a thread about that too...how to order your notes.
