You can not order it if you are not in Canada, you need to aurthorize someone who is in Canada and attach the $5 fee.

Hi Sharuu, that's what bkd1969 explained in his post. He outlined how anyone can order GCMS notes from outside Canada.

Tell me about it.. 4 months from July is november! I hope that atleast by november we hear something! It already has been 2 months.. Usually Ottawa reviews a file after 2 months. I think it will be a good idea to get GCMS after Sept 7th. I wouldnt be even surprised if people start getting to In Process this month..
Most likely, although not too sure relying on ECAS status (not very consistent and people even get PPR without being "In Process"). I would rather go with GCMS notes and get more detailed on my file. I think if we can ask for GCMS notes few days after our due dates each time, we would have more information on hand to predict.

I am glad how most of your followed by advices for GCMS Notes. For me it is so much more detailed than getting ECAS change every once in several months.

Any word from the MP?

In the PPR Email did it say you have 30 days to send the passport? If so, then you might as well just have until Sep 21

I have e-mailed his assistant today to know if he got any response from Ottawa. He said not yet, altho he had a call from CIC on 3 cases, he doesn't know which files they are… CIC creates file numbers for call backs which do not correspond to the reg. file numbers. So I will wait and see if he would get back to me tomorrow.

I hope you get some positive response and more clarity about your case...
