It is usually true, but R10 and medicals review are done by different departments. Most applications see them coincide, but there can be exceptions too. So I recommend sticking with 45 day rule and you can order another set of GCMS notes a month later.

This is s. 22 of the Privacy Act under which some information is redacted.

22 (1) The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any personal information requested under subsection 12(1)
  • (b) the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to be injurious to the enforcement of any law of Canada or a province or the conduct of lawful investigations, including, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, any such information
    • (i) relating to the existence or nature of a particular investigation,
    • (ii) that would reveal the identity of a confidential source of information, or
    • (iii) that was obtained or prepared in the course of an investigation; or

This is usually done for criminality and security. See my posts on security screening.

Thank You soo much for your reply but brother there is strange thing in my case...as you said that they may be checking my criminality or Security but i ordered GCMS notes and there CRIMINALITY is showing 1 & SECURITY is showing 0 both of these under ADMISSIBILITIES + On tracker my biometric and medical is showing:Completed, While Background Check and Eligibility is showing:IN PROGRESS....so from this analysis what do you think my case is under security screeing from which i am scared as it takes around 1 whole year...if not then what do you think how much time will it take for me to get response??
Thank You.

Thank you for the response. My secondary visa office is CPC Ottawa.
User ID is DK02365_BOT

Does this mean my file is assigned to a non existing agent? What can i do to make sure this does not delays my processing?
This has gotten me worried
I have this user id, did you get any updates?
