Hey guys,

I ordered my electronic notes online 31 days ago.

Everyone else i know has gotten notes on day 30. My confirmation email said 30 days too but they never came.

I have emailed 4 times in last 2 days (since 30day mark) with no response.

What can i do to getthem to email my notes?


Thanks

We had the same problem,

we ordered ours to come electronically, and at about 33 days they still had not arrived, So I emailed the same address that I sent the request too, explaining it and asking where they were.

But I did get a response in less than 12 hours saying that they had decided to send my notes on a CD visa regular mail.
So I received them in the mail at around 45 days.

Yeah that really sucks, im not sure why they aren't responding, As far as I Know this "strike" doesn't involve that department at all.
Unless they are just really backed up maybe.

hopefully you hear something soon! and check the mail box too, it might arrive by mail

Hi I also applied for GCMS (2nd time) thru email on May 9, 2013. No response as of yet.

Hi LeisaP: What do you think why they would even bother to send the report through CD instead of email ?? Was you report so big/long enough to accommodate a CD instead of an email ??? I am just curious and requesting your opinion about it. Thanks in advance.

You know that "due to volume of requests" or "consultations with other agencies" CIC can request an additional 30 days?

I am aware of this however if they need 30 days they should reply o our emails telling us so instead of just ignoring our emails when our notes are past due.

yes I know, but When I spoke to the lady prior to ordering my notes, she said they are suppose to let you know BEFORE the 30 days if an extension is required.

I have emailed them 8 times in the last 48 hours (since my 30 day deadline passed). I included our info (file number, UCI's, DOB's, and the record tracking number I got when I submitted the online request).

However, they've ignored all of my emails. ::)

For those of you who have waited longer than the 30 days here is the link for complaints:

While you may not get anything from your individual complaint all complaints have to be logged. It creates a paper trail.

I have been waiting for 45+ days for my gcms note. Those who received it very late what was the difference between note generated date and receiving date? they usually generate it a few days after requesting but do not send us right away.
