For all those people who have lawyers, a piece of information that I found. You can order your GCMS notes without the help of your lawyer as per the following.
"10. I have hired a lawyer/consultant for my Immigration application, can I still use your service
Yes, you can use our service for obtaining the CAIPS/GCMS Notes, Entire File or Additional Services even if you have retained an Immigration lawyer/consultant. The above requests have very specific Consent forms, are handled by a separate office and processed independently of your immigration application."

May be senior members can reflect on how accurate that is.
