sorry no idea...i think the FC probably stands for FC but for the life of me I can't figure out what the others stand for. I did look at my own notes (3rd set) and in the paper file history i don't have anything like that so I am thinking it is definitely something that is specific to your file not a generic thing. Sorry I couldn't help.

Hi everyone. How do I go about ordering notes if I'm using a consultant? Does my consultant have to order them or can I do it on my own? I ask because all our correspondence goes to the consultant's office in Canada, so I don't want there to be any mixup between the email addresses or CIC suddenly wondering why a different email from the file is being used to order notes. My husband is not residing in Canada, but his "mailing address" is our consultant's.

My consultant is fine and knowledgeable, but the person he trusts to do the administrative end of things... I'm not exactly confident in her.

When you order GCMS notes you can request that the notes are sent to your email in electronic from. This is the fastest way to receive them and also wont interfere with your processing times. They will send them to the email you provide in the request. When you send the request you will receive a confirmation email as well.

who is the principal applicant and are they in Canada? if you are outside of Canada you will have to get your spouse or someone you know in side canada to request them for you and it will cost you 5$ go here https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do its super easy just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click continue and follow the instructions. There is an option to request on your own behalf or request for someone else. If you are requesting for your spouse make sure to click that your are requesting for someone else.
