No worries! Honestly, I don't really trust the officers tbh. GCMS notes is the best way to read into your status imo. I applied for mine almost 2 months ago, and still haven't received it. Maybe they don't want to release it lol.
Thank you. Ok so for me, for previous study permit application I got refused once because of only an error in documentation which I mentioned in my life. I see it in my notes too. Could that be a valid reason?
The ATIP division sometimes asks for extensions when it comes to releasing GCMS notes. After 30 days, they should have informed you if this was the case.
How long does the Department have to respond?
A: Both Acts allow for a legal response time of 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of an official request. However, this period may be extended for limited and specific reasons identified in the Acts. For instance, extensions may be taken if:
- the request is for a large number of records or necessitates a search through a large number of records and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the government institution;
- consultations are necessary to comply with the request that cannot be completed within the original time limit; or
- additional time is necessary for translation purposes or for converting personal information into an alternative format.
Note: The ATIP division is separate from the department that processes applications.
I think I bought it through getgcms or something. I've already emailed them and I did see the link you mentioned. But no automatic response from them after the 30-day limit
You'll get it eventually. Next time, if you are in Canada, you can order them yourself directly, for free. And if you order them from the CBSA, then there will be less redactions in your file as well (usually Security information)
Same amount of time, on average 30 days. Back at the tail end of last year, it took far less time - my notes from CBSA came in just a week. But a lot more people are ordering from their ATIP division now, so the timeframe has increased.
Yea I have ordered 2 GCMS till now - it clearly says it’s in review required. It’s probably nothing to worry but just for my curiosity I wanna understand what made it go in RR. When I read notes by agent it said Canadian institution and referred to an edoc. That EDOC number was for my degrees/diploma stuff. My study was done in Canada only. Anyways, that’s why was wondering what could cause it. Any opinions?
It automatically may have gone into review required due to me answering yes but I did mention to them it was only an error in documentation
