Hi all,

I want to obtain GCMS notes on my citizenship application.
When I submit this ATIP request, which of the following option should I choose?

"Status update of file/Reasons for Refusal/Officer's Electronic notes"

or

"The application, supporting documents and correspondences sent to and/or from IRCC"

I believe it should be the first one "Status update of file..." but want to seek a confirmation before submitting the request.

Kindly advise.

You are correct to assume the first option.

You will select, "Status update of file/Reasons for Refusal/Officer's Electronic notes" to obtain the GCMS notes.

IF you what a copy of your application and supporting documents, only then you select, Status update of file..."

Option 1.
 
Got my GCMS notes few weeks back & here's my assessment summary:

Knowledge - Not Started
Residence - Not Started
Language - Not Started
Prohibition - Not Started
Criminality - Passed
Oath - Not Started

For the stuff that hasn't started, I saw a due date of 2021/11/18. I don't think I saw anything extraordinary in the notes but glad to know I passed criminality at least & there's some movement on my file.
 
Requested my notes on March 13th, still waiting for them.
I requested mine on March 6 & March 30 and received it on yesterday April 19. You will probably receive yours by the end of April or earlier May.
 
Hi,

I received my GCMS notes this morning after 30 days. Here is the status:

Knowledge: Not Started
Residence: Not Started
Language: Not Started
Prohibition: Not Started
Security: Blank
Criminality: In Progress
Oath: Not Started
Paper File: Mississauga
Secondary Office: GTA-CEN IRCC
Location: Test Pending Clearance
Due Date: October 2021

Two weeks back I received FP request which were done last week. What do you think about location? Is it only criminality clearance which is holding the file in this location and once done it will be moved to "Pending for Test"?

Thanks.

You have a lonnnnnng way to go. Criminality is the very first step. Expect to hear something towards the end of this year or even early next year. (This is with great optimism) The current backlog is around 2 years. According to IRCC they are currently finalizing files from Mid-April 2019.
