One of the indicators that show that the security has been initiated is the assessments section on page 2 of the GCMS notes. When the security has been initiated, it is blanked and on the top right corner of the page, will have the section of the Access to Information Act under which the information has been redacted.

On page 2, Security is blank and the information is there on the top right corner of the page. On one of the later pages certain information is also redacted. So was wondering how to know if it is completed yet.

Hi @legalfalcon
I ordered my GCMS notes.
Eligibility= PASSED
Security= Not started
Criminality= Not started
Info sharing= Complete.

However, I am worried whether this is being passed by an analyst or case officer. Recent notes1 says, case processing agent.

If your recent notes don't say "OFFICER REVIEW" then it hasn't been conclusively passed by a Senior Officer yet.

@legalfalcon Sir , Can you please advise .

Apparently I did up-front meds in September and informed ircc via web form. Then in October received Medical requests to which I again clarified via web form attaching med reports that were done just a week before receiving requests. Since then , Multiple web forms and technical queries have been raised but there's only generic replies that I get. My GC key account says " We haven't received the results of your medical examination " . I double checked with the panel physicians if they uploaded it on time and they acknowledged the same. It's November now and they still haven't updated anything in my GC key account.
Its been more than a month with no updates. Is there anything else that could be done to resolve this issue ? Thanks

IRCC has been facing issues with delays. However, eventually the GCMS notes will be released, just that it will take time.

If you want them faster, place a new request, but submit it with CBSA.
