It is "immigration and citizenship record"Good morning
I’m in the process of requesting my GCSM . However, facing difficulties
I’m not sure what to pick. Is it
- immigration /citizenship record
Or
-IRCC governing corporate documents
Could you please help?

Did you know since your husband is an inland applicant, he can use the "privacy act" and not pay the fee, it'll take the same amount of time to receive them.
I check many threads in the family sponsorship forum to try and find answers to questions I may have or answer something If I am able to.Good morning.
