Hi Zen, GCMS are your case notes (notes the case officer enters into the system I think), Canadian residents or citizens (Sponsors) can request this on behalf of the Principal Applicant. Takes around one month to get this by mail, from date of request. I dont have the URL handy right now...

Mumble, I finally decided to log onto this site and read what is happening with everyone. The past couple of weeks I didn't want to even come to this site, because I didn't even want to think of this visa process and the trauma and headache it is causing all of us. I'm beginning to get more and...

Great. Thanks ...

Yes. eCas is down ... hopefully they are busy updating a lot of cases !!!

Looking at the spreadsheet, it looks like spouse Sponsorship takes about average 6-8 months end to end. I hope June applicants will hear back by end December 2012 or early January 2013 atleast .... BTW, how do I get my stats to show on the left side where my user name appears?
