HOW TO ORDER GCMS NOTES: STEP BY STEP PROCESS!

[HK1063]

You ordered special from CBSA? Why, if you don't mind me asking?

As advised in other forums, CBSA should be faster than that of IRCC and their report should cover a bit more on the session of security screening.
In any event, that 4-month extension notice is absolutely out of my expectation and makes me very worrying about my case, esp. when I see that other late applicants have already received their PPR or CoPR.

I ordered from CBSA as well...i read that they are faster. I hope they don't extend by that long

Do we get Sponsor Approvals information in GCMS if I raise webform for spousal PR application? or it just gives you details on PA side of application?

to apply in 5$ for GCMS, if you are inland there is another option for inland people . they can go to https://applygcmsnotes.ca if you live inside Canada they only Charge 5$ i think they are better if you don't want to share your address,phone number or email with IRCC

Hit post too soon. IRCC has all that info and much more. If you want to protect your info seems like giving it to a company you've otherwise not given information to is counterproductive...

Agree! I'm inland and about to order notes.

 

[4K0223]

I've requested our info via https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip but it didn't ask for any payment. I'm inside Canada. Is that normal?

Also, I put my "Application Number" as the "File Name", I suppose that's the same?

Did the same few days ago

I don't know about 'normal' but this happened to me and I was surprised, also tried to research. In fairly short order I got the atip confirmation and 30 days later the gcms notes. The next time I did gcms notes, the payment was requested.

No idea why, maybe the first one is free.
