I looked into getting GCMS notes since I just passed my 12 month mark, while filling out the form this note popped up: “Did you know that IRCC can easily obtain the electronic notes of the immigration or citizenship officer(s)? It can result in a faster response to your request”
So I filled out an IRCC web form instead. Got this automatic reply:
We will respond to these priority enquiries only:
· Clients in crisis situations (like those affected by the situation in Afghanistan)
- · Clients facing vulnerable circumstances (emergency and urgent requests)
- · Clients who need to tell us about a change in their circumstances, which has a direct impact on their application (like marriage, birth of a child, or similar)
- · Clients who are submitting documents requested by one of our officers
- · Changes in contact information
- · Requests to withdraw an application or refunds
- · Ask questions about the 2021 invitations to apply to sponsor parents and grandparents
If your enquiry is NOT one of the priority enquiries listed above, you will not receive a reply.»
«Even if you haven’t heard from us recently, your application remains in process. You don’t need to do anything else at this time. We’ll contact you if we need more information.»
