ATIP and Privacy Act gives the same thing. If you want government information, you MUST use ATIP, but if you want your OWN data, then you can use the free option, Privacy Act option. They give the exact same document. When it comes to your question, some IRCC agents say it doesn't have any affect, some say the same officer processes your request, so it will slow down your application. I don't think there's a certain information. Services that offer this service such as https://gcms-notes.ca charges a fee and says it won't affect your processing time, so it is in their favour to say this. So, I don't know, but even if the same officer completes the notes, it will give them a nudge and maybe finish your application while on it, if other officers exist and complete privacy act requests, then it won't have an effect. So, either way I don't think there's an obvious downside. They processes your application with huge time gaps in between (like, they process half of your application in one day, then come back to it 2 months after) anyway, so it shouldn't make a huge difference.

I mistakenly requested my own documents, things that I uploaded, so no notes lol.

Hello @andreynitro ; done with ceremony , so let's see when e-certificate come.

Congratulations! It was really nice! Already downloaded my e-certs and printed them out. Was not available through Safari on MacBook (was saying something about Tech difficulties) - tried from iPhone and it worked. Did not get instructions e-mail but followed steps described here on a forum to get an invite and register on a portal.

So yeah, our Canadian journey from Closed/Open/Study (kids) Work Permits to Citizenship came to end to day and we are very happy with outcome

Wishing all of you good luck - each and every application will be completed and you will get a precious certificate!
