I wouldn't do that. If you were still waiting for the test, then maybe, but after DM is not a good idea. How long have you been waiting? 6 months?
Thanks very much for your advice!
Until now I’ve been waiting for 5 months and 4 days. My DM was on July 3, 2021. The system updated on July 5, 2021.

Just got my certificate today - appears to take ~ a week to get it from "Decision Made", very closely mirroring @Orgcom 's experience (My timeline is in my sig)
Congrats! One small step left. I sent my passport application from the US...

Wow you’re so lucky! Are your application in Montreal office too?
Yes I'm a Montreal applicant. I should add that I ordered GCMS notes twice in the last 3 months and the second time I specifically asked to be informed of the exact reason, if there was any, for why my file was being held up - I don't know if that had any bearing on anything, just mentioning it.

Congrats. That's super fast. Have you received your second notes? And how you asked for the exact reason? I filled ATIP notes form a month ago, and I don't remember there was a box where we can add comments with the request

Thanks.

I haven't received the second set of gcms notes yet - I applied for them 3 weeks ago and seeing as I received my first ones in exactly 30 days I'd say the second ones should be due to arrive sometime next week. There is a space to add comments/relevant information right after the last question:

I ordered one ATIP notes in October and haven’t received any reply until now :’(
I guess you’re very lucky :)

OK, I must have completely forgot about it, probably because the box says to provide "relevant" information, and I am a law-abiding resident/citizen. Next time, I will use this box to complain/ask questions, to hit two or three birds in one stone.

I suspect that some files are being processed in Sydney, and those file are taking the longest for every single step/action/update

Would you mind if I ask should we choose”Personal information under Private Act” the free one, or choose “All government records under Access to Information Act” that costs 5 dollars?

Last time I chose Private Act the free one, and got a temporary tracking number. It said after my request had been registered I’ll receive another Email, but no Email come in anymore.

I guess maybe I chose the wrong one?

So my last ATIP request wasn’t registered at all, maybe that’s why I haven’t received any reply yet.

For my first request I left that box blank because I did think I had already provided all relevant info. But since my second request was less than a month after I had received the first notes (which btw contained nothing of interest, unusual or non-routine - just showed my file hadn't been touched since the test update) I felt it was necessary to explain why I was submitting another request within such a short timespan.
