Is there a guide to how to apply for gcms notes?
Also, is there a difference between gcms and freedom of information request?

Thanks for the help.

Its a very simple process.

Apply here. You'll be choosing "Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada" and "Case Files" options. In the text box, simply write "Please provide GCMS notes for application number CXXXXXXX" (provide your actual application number). Apply under the Privacy Act if you are applying for yourself so you don't have to pay $5 (There is a $5 fee if you apply under the Access to Information Act).

Thanks. I'm wondering what to do if our tracker does not update to reflect a passed citizenship test before the end of our exam-taking window? It's now been 5 days with no acknowledgement that I even took the test; seems most others have a 1-2 day wait. My exam-taking window expires in 2 days.

Test validation doesn't have anything to do with the test window. For many people, test is validated in a couple of days after taking the test. For some, it might take around 10 days or a month for an update. The timeline varies.

If you don't see a validated test result after 10 - 15 business days after taking the test, submit a webform and ask them if your test result is being validated. There is no guarantee that you'll receive an appropriate response but there is no harm trying.

Seems you are not reading the forum to be up to date.
Yes you get 21 days to write the exam, without any specific date and time but you have to attend online within those 21 days whenever you are ready to attend during day time or even night time.

Yes, I didn't read all pages. English is a 4th language for me.
Thank you for your answer.

I'm here to check the dynamics of applicants and share my updates. If I have not read the forum for a while, there are reasons for that.
However, I can only limit myself to transferring data for statistics and not ask repetitive questions. :)

Hi ,

I have a question. I am wondering to know the fee paid $630 for single citizenship application. Would that include Proof of citizenship certificate as well. If not do we have to pay additional.

when can we pay for certification that if not paid while applying for this citizenship ?

thanks
