Regarding GCMS notes, can it be applied for if a person is located out of Canada ?
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp (doing it by yourself if eligible)
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp (if you are not eligible to do it yourself and need to appoint a representative)
To be eligible to make this request, you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada
or an individual currently present in Canada.
So if you are not a Canadian citizen or PR, and you are outside Canada, you will need to appoint someone who is Canada to request it for you under the Access to Information Act.
If you are a temporary resident and are physically in Canada, you are eligible to do it yourself under the Privacy Act.
