Yes it can be 3 pages -- my old passport had 3 pages

I got the same request in April. They're simply 4 pages in your passport that say ALTERATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS at the top. Photocopy these pages and send them with the email the Colombo VO sent you

According to what I've seen in the forums, it's usually between 2 to 8 weeks

I just applied for the notes today. Maybe you'll have better luck if you apply again as the system must have been updated with this information by now? Hopefully you'll get your PPR before you even get the notes but there's no harm in trying. You can also post your notes in the forum and see if...

That's great news, madurajb!! It's so good to see people from the Sri Lanka forums getting their Passport requests! Could you share your timeline with us?

Haha my husband made a promise for September but we are hoping we get my PR or any good news before that because goodbyes are becoming tougher each time he visits. Nothing better than settling permanently together even though these mini vacations are nice! What visa office do you belong to btw...

Hi Mandie, That sounds lovely! Hopefully we will be getting our PPR before then! Thanks so much for your reply :)

Hi, I just came accross this link in the forums and I'm wondering what it's about. Will applying for it give me more details on my application status or is it the same as our regular ECAS? I'm a November 2015 spousal visa applicant, Colombo Visa Office...

Great, thanks!

I'm currently applying for m GCMS notes. Just wondering what I'm supposed to enter under "Use the space below to provide relevant information to help IRCC process your request (maximum 500 characters)."

Hi IRONMAN7777, My file is in the Colombo Visa Office. It appears to be a bit slow because people from the Sri Lanka forums have been complaining about not getting any news despite applying in June-July 2015. My husband was here on a 20 day vacation and he left on the 2nd of June. Both of us...

Thanks everybody for your replies -- they were very helpful and now I'm considering applying for a visitor visa. Do you recommend applying online? I hope I get my PR or any good news from the VO before this as many November applicants like myself are getting DM on their ECAS. The Colombo Visa...

Hey! So happy to see so many people getting their PPRs!! Gives me some hope on receiving mine soon! I applied on the 19th of November 2015 and I'm starting to get anxious -- being away from my husband for so long is killing me inside! I'm wondering if emailing CIC will help? I emailed them with...

Hi, it has been 6 months since I applied, no update yet. I just read about something called the GCMS notes, can anybody explain what it is and how it can help me? Has anybody applied for it?

Hello! It has been 6 months since I've applied for my spousal visa and it's becoming extremely difficult for me and my husband to live separately. Is it considered acceptable to apply for a visitor visa so that the husband and wife can live together in Canada while they wait for the PR?

Any news guys?

Hi Luci1209, Could you tell me what these sessions are and if I can attend them too? Many thanks

Hi! Hope everybody is doing well. So I hadn't seen any updates in my ECAS (three lines) for a while now but I recently received an email asking for copies of any Alterations and Observations on my passport. My current passport doesn't have any so I copied the blank pages and sent it to the VO...

It says 17 months but a lot of people get theirs sooner (even within 3-4 months)! :) My ECAS says my meds have been received -- that's the last line and my husband got an email saying our application has been sent to the Sri Lankan embassy.

You have to get the clearance for any location where your partner has stayed for 6 months or longer. It took me about 2 months to receive mine (one address in Kandy and one in Colombo). You have to keep calling them to ensure you get your clearance asap.
