Thank you. I also wanted to ask if they could ask for bank statement again? I'll be closing my account before moving back and I'm not sure what I'd do if they ask for bank statement again.

I have followed up the thread and haven't seen the request for update bank statements. But you could explain to them via webform the update status of your bank accounts (both in Ca and in your country if you have new one)

I had a long chat with an IRCC agent on the same topic on Friday. I am travelling to India from mid Feb till mid March. She confirmed if I have valid work permit and TRV. Also, if I am working here in Canada. I told her everything is in place. So she said it shouldn't be a problem for me to travel and return to Canada.
But she asked me to raise a webform and informing any agent who is working on my file that I will be out of the country for these dates. So, if there's any additional document required or they need to confirm something from me or to take the final decision, they'll postpone it till the time I return back.
So when you travel to India, carry your Work permit and if you can manage an Employment Letter from your HR mentioning that you are required to be in Canada to work and you travelled outside of Canada for some personal thing.
AOR October 20, 2020 but haven't received the refund as well... Bio exempt as well... Moreover, the progress bar just disappeared again...ADR for RCMP is still being reviewed since Dec 15....Although visitor record was approved... Does anyone know if this is a positive sign for a visitor record to be approved while PR application is in progess?

Here is a comprehensive comparison for requesting Gcms Notes from IRCC vs CBSA https://bit.ly/34nuJPu

3 to 4 months post AOR is a good time to consider requesting the Gcms Notes. You can request the notes from IRCC and/or CBSA, these days it may make sense to request from CBSA; see why https://bit.ly/34nuJPu
That is assuming everything is going smoothly with your application. GCMS notes are more detailed. There are things the agents can’t and won’t tell you.

Hi. @Uncle Yayo responded; thanks.
You can see what a sample GCMS file looks like https://sample.gcmsnotes.com/
Not everyone needs Gcms Notes though, phone call, web form work fine for many applicants who never bother with the Gcms Notes. It's just another option that is available.
Sorry, but have you paid for biometrics to get a refund? If you are excempt, like me, you are not requested to pay for them.
