Guys, did anyone here ordered GCMS notes from São Paulo's VO recently?
I'm planning to ask for it, but probably will wait until my application reaches around 3 months. Theoretically, it would have more information available than if I order it now.

Is there a way to order GCMS notes specific to a VO?

I have a friend living in Canada and he helped us requesting the GCMS notes through the CIC site. We requested it last week, so we have to wait at least other 3 weeks to get a result...
Hi
My brother lives in Montreal, do you know what's the procedure we should follow in order for him to raise a GCMS for me?
I just submitted my application, so I'm not doing this right now, but I'd like to know in advance, maybe for 2 months from now.

Anyway, my timelines:
ITA: April 6th
AOR: April 25th
Meds Passed: April 27th

Cheers

Alguem aí com Dual Intent LMIA aplicando para Work Permit e PR?
Meu Work Permit deve sair daqui a um mês, e eu mandei minha aplicação para o PR faz 3 dias, logo pretendo estar no Canadá quando meu PR sair, e gostaria de entender como funcionaria a questão do local VO, já que inicialmente meu processo cairia em sampa, mas logo deverei estar no Canada...
Se alguem souber de algo, ja seria de grande valia.
Abraços e boa sorte a todos.

We've followed the instructions on this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp

First we printed, filled in and scanned the "Consent for an Access to Information and Personal Information Request" (form IMM5744). Then our friend in Canada created an application here: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/

On the application he had to give information about himself and about us, attach the form IMM5744 and pay 5 dollars.

It takes around 30 days to get an answer.

We just received the request to pay RPRF fee!

The text on the letter says "This is in reference to your application for a permanent resident visa, which has been found eligible in the Class for which it was submitted. Admissibility review (security, criminality and/or medical) is still ongoing; you will be contacted if additional information is required for that purpose."

If the application has really been found eligible, the worst part is over! Proof of Funds and Employment Records were my greatest fears. Everything seemed to be correct, but you never know...

We may get more confirmation in two weeks, when we get the GCMS notes.

That's great!
I believe that POF and Reference Letters are the greatest fears of us all, because they could have a subjective evaluation. If you are beyond that stage, you should be closer to get the PPR. :)

Yes, FSW outland, Sao Paulo Visa Office.

I don't have any idea why my process was so fast, maybe because they consider the ITA date, which was on 27th November, so the process number was according to that date, maybe?

I really have no idea why it was so fast, I'm sending all the good vibrations to you guys.

PS: I just asked my boss and he told me no one contacted him about the credentials, so that's good for anyone that might be worried.
