I am afraid.
Should I ask my lawyer to request GCMS notes or I can do it myself ?

Yes that happenned to my partner. His officer never even sent him refusal letter, she sent it right to CBSA. We ordered GCMS notes to see her refusal notes and then we submitted a new HC to counter her arguments. He was approved. I strongly encourage your friend to order GcMS and be proactive, if he wishes to remain in Canada
from my experience, MP could not help the case. Most they can do is follow up on your status with the special phone line they have with IRCC, if you have not heard from IRCC long time. Her assistant wrote us a nice reference letter but IRCC Montreal officer dismissed it: she even wrote in her refusal notes that our reference letters are from people newly arrived in Canada (!), which makes me think she did not even read the letter.
Not normal, but some people never get to see ECaS, especially if they were previously PR and it was revoked. Then new applications cannot be linked to old UCI. If phone updates do not work either, talking to call center agent is your last resort (and ordering GCMS notes every few months).
But HC can only be submitted from within Canada, so MP advice was not accurate.
Exactly! That also shows that the MP wasn't interested in helping him.
To be honest, even if he did want to help, not much can be done. Many IRCC officers get sensitive when MP get involved, if not upset. Our MP assistant told us not to check on status too often via their line, because officers "will not appreciate it". Nobody wants to be micro-managed, so I get it.
Sad to say but MP doesn't have any power or cannot influence the decision of the decision maker, that is against the law and it is strictly prohibited, they cannot even put your file to be process first. MP are there to help you regarding queries your file but they cannot put your file forward as IRCC is strictly following Triage application process. It will be very unfair to everyone if MP is influencing the Decision Maker.
Yes!! I was told the same thing but here we are, I made it without them
Congrats! Never give up. Same for my partner - his IrCC officer wrote in her refusal notes he has to return to his home country and I am free to leave Canada behind and follow him. Even his latest lawyer - a top one in Toronto - said it is pointless to continue fighting. We did not listen and re-submitted again on our own, and won.Yes!! I was told the same thing but here we are, I made it without them
