Hi Guys,

I had applied GCMS notes on 27 Sep 2021, and didn't receive any updates, and after following up with privacy office, I have received the following email on 16 Nov:

Thank you for contacting the Access to Information and Privacy Office.

We apologize for the delay in receiving your requested information. Your request has been reviewed and the records will be released to you shortly.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Does anybody else has same experience with IRCC? If yes, how long did it take IRCC to provide the GCMS notes.
Hey
How long did it take to get a reply for your follow up email? Thanks

Got the portal email, trying to upload the photo but this message is showing up:
"Warning: Your photo does not meet the following requirements:
Brightness: Your photo may be too bright or too dark.
Pixel Range Requirements: Your photo does not have a pixel range between 1680x1200 and 4200x3000 pixels."

Took the picture, some 3 months back, from a local photographer - he has been doing it for years. Followed all the picture requirements except the dimension, which is 600 x 840 pixel, used an online tool and changed it to 1680 x 2353 pixels

Was wondering did anyone of you were/are facing the same issue? What did you do? Should I got to Shoppers or some other place?

It is my guess but most of straight forwards cases are done now so they are doing a bit of twisted/complex cases.
