Hi,

Can someone clarify if i request GCMS notes, will they remove my current representative who are part of my application ?
As i understand that, i need to attach consent form to request my spouse details as well. But, in the consent form, my details will be mentioned as representative and applicant details will contain spouse details.

thanks

No, not at all. It wont change anything regarding the representative. I have one and still ordered GCMS notes.

ok, thank you. Can you please confirm after receiving GCMS notes, your representative on your file did not change at all or removed right ? or you still awaiting to receive it.
The reason i am stressing on this is, for whatever reason my immigration consultant firm ( representative ) , they are not ready to apply GCMS notes. Rather, they asked me to apply but they specifically requested "kindly ensure that our firm is not removed as your legal representative" . Hence, I am trying to be bit careful before initiating this.

Can you please validate below details whether i am doing right thing for filling imm5744e. In my case, myself ( Primary Applicant) & spouse & kid residing in Canada. It's been overall 15 months since my application submitted ( oct,2020 biometric was given ) but since then no update and only background check is in progress. So, I decided to apply GCMS notes for all 3 of us to know what's going on and whether background process is stuck for myself or spouse and I understand i need to attach consent form for my dependent ( spouse & kid ).

Section 1 ( Designated Representative Information ) - i will fill my details ( primary applicant ) as representative

Section 2 ( Applicant Information ) - Spouse details with signature in blue ink

Section 2.1 ( Related Individual Information ) - Kid with relationship to applicant and both parents signature in blue ink ( i.e., for minor as explained in 2nd page of imm5744e )

Assuming i don't have to fill primary applicant again within Section 2.
I thought if i fill my details ( primary applicant ) as representative then there is change they may remove existing firm/representative on my file ?

It would be great if you can clarify these things. Thanks for looking into this.

I did receive my GCMS notes two weeks ago and we still have our representative. We didn't consult our representative before applying for the notes because we didn't think that was necessary. Section 1 and 2 is fine , we don't have dependents on our file.

ok, thanks for confirming. Appreciate it. Hoping all looks good in GCMS notes on your end.
May i know the timeline they took it for getting back with GCMS notes. i believe it's 30 calendar days max.


thanks.

I ordered gcms on Mar 29, and on Apr 28 night, i received an email asking for Consent form... I submitted the consent form on Apr 29. Does anyone know how long it will take to get the notes? Is it going to take another month until May 29...?

 

[Ggggg]

I applied March 15 and still haven't gotten them

 

[LongwaytogoPR]

What i heard is, if it's just 1 or 2 applicants then it comes in 3 to 4 weeks time frame. Otherwise, it may take longer than usual time.
Again, it depends on the officer

Hello @legalfalcon suggest me from where I can order gcms notes online?

Hello @legalfalcon suggest me from where I can order gcms notes online?

You can order them from https://getgcms.com There are many other options, but make sure that your personal information is safe, the place is in complaince with federal and provincial laws and especially PIPEDA see https://bit.ly/3uH8ijE

Also, to read on how to protect your personal date see https://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm

The bottom line is many websites will throw stuff about they meeting the highest security standards, but the fact remains is that they are not even in compliance with the basic laws of being registered federally and provincially.

So what you chose, is your choice, do you research and keep yourself protected.

Hello,
I am looking for a help here.
My sister is in Canada but I haven't chosen her as representative in my express entry file.
Can she order GCMS notes for me and fill in her details in "Designated Representative’s Information "?

Any response will be appreciated.
Thanks!

YEs, the designated representative in the GCMS consent form can be any individual, it does not have to be the representative in your application.
