That's the link to order GCMS, if you are not in Canada you cannot order it. You sponsor can order it but will he/she will need your signed consent form:

I noticed the consent form recently changed adding a representative signature line in section C - is this to be signed by the spouse giving consent - same spouse signing section A . I'm not clear on the answer here - thanks for any help

If you are in Canada you can order them for free under the Privacy Act.

did you require the consent form? if so, in section C the representative signature line - who signs it if anyone. The consent form was just recently changed.

thanks,

No.

If the PA is in Canada they can order the notes themselves through the Privacy Act- which negates the need for consent.

It says there is a 5.00 charge for it? Does it explain what the immigration officer is doing on the application? Am debating whether to bother ordering them or continue to be patient.

It costs $5 if the PA is not in Canada.

Yes, it's well worth the $5.

It gives an in detail look at exactly what is happening with your file as well as CSE specific notes of the visa officer processing it.

I order them and then reorder them the day they arrive. I'm waiting for my fourth set of notes now.

I added sponser information where it request info and requested for immigration officers notes. Hopefully I did it right.... Does it really take a month to hear back or do they just tell everyone that....
