If you want GCMS notes then you choose - The electronic file, which include the file status and updates, the notes of the immigration or citizenship officer(s) as well as reasons for any refusal; or

If you want a copy of the application and all document submitted to IRCC then you choose - The application forms, supporting documents and correspondences sent to and/or from IRCC, which includes the information submitted during the application process.
I appreciate your quick response.

@legalfalcon

I managed to muddle my way through the BOWP application today.

I just submitted and paid, and realized I forgot to attach my original job offer in my client information. Frustrated I missed this, it was a small box saying to include a copy.

Should I worry or just wait for them to request it if they need it? (I did include this for my PR application).

Thanks

I just received a request for my GCMS note, it's kinda weird, it was my 1st time request it, @legalfalcon help me on that please, what should I select?

This is further to your request under the Privacy Act, which was received on November 20, 2020, for the following records:

The application, supporting documents and correspondences sent to and/or from IRCC for the permanent residence file concerning NGxxx, xxx Txxx.

We are writing to inform you that we require further information in order to continue processing your request. Your request is being placed on hold for the following reason(s):

We require that you confirm which specific information you would like to receive:
- The electronic file, which include the file status and updates, the notes of the immigration or citizenship officer(s) as well as reasons for any refusal; or

- The application forms, supporting documents and correspondences sent to and/or from IRCC, which includes the information submitted during the application process.


Note that your request will remain on hold until we receive the requested information from you. If we have not received your reply by January 4, 2021, we will consider the request abandoned and close our file accordingly.

You may want to select just the electronic file, if you select the latter you may receive an extension notice like this;


As indicated in your request, you are seeking documents relating to "the application, supporting documents and correspondences sent to and/or from IRCC", which are held by offices outside of Canada. Due to ongoing concerns related to the spread of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), preventative measures have been enacted throughout our global network of offices, which results in the inability to retrieve the records that you are seeking at this time.

Due to these circumstances,
I wish to inform you that, in accordance with the Access To Information Act*, an extension of 365 days beyond the statutory 30 day limit is necessary to process your request.

Sincerely,

ATIP Officer

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

Thanks for your help and guidance.

Now I have submitted a BOWP application, does this automatically mean I can continuing working until a decision on my PR? or do they need to approve my BOWP application 'officially'.

My work permit expires next month.
