I constantly keep seeing many people asking how to order gcms notes; although it's been answered hundreds of times on this forum. This is courtesy of Kinza_Bee and many other contributors on how to order GCMS NOTES!

How to apply GCMS / ATIP notes.
Only a person who is in Canada can request the notes. Get your sponsor to request on PA'S behalf!

If principal applicant is in Canada, he/she can request for himself and apply for free under Privacy Act.

If sponsor is requesting it on behalf of Principal applicant, you need consent form from PA and $5 fee. You can receive consent form from spouse via email and upload it. Apply under Access to Information Act.

It takes about 30 days to receive by email. It is a ~30 pages document (can be more than 30 pages)

Consent form:

Section A - Principal Applicant details
Section B - Sponsor's details
Section C - Sponsor's details

When we applied for GCMS notes we attached an older version of consent form by accident and then a few days later my husband (sponsor) received an email asking to send them a newer updated consent form from PA within 30 days in order to receive the notes. So they might as well just ask you to email them your proof of identification.

Hi
I am from India and I want to order ATIP for my case which got refused on 17th November 2017.
My consultant is charging a hefty amount of fees to order that but I read on CIC website that if someone is in Canada on work permit, he is eligible to apply on the behalf of principal applicant?
Is this true...can nu friend who is there on work permit apply for the notes on my behalf?
Thanks in advance!
