Hi!
Just want to share my experience.

Apply for GCMS notes online or by mail. I did it online http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp

It's either free (if you are in Canada - you need proof of address like a bill or something), or it will cost you $5 (if you are outside Canada)

All you need for GCMS notes is your AOR (file number)

The website I provided has info about inquiring for your spouse. Or just read the whole page, because it has all the info you need to know. It's pretty clear.

Select "Permanent Residence" because you are requesting GCMS notes for your PR application.

The process time is 30 days.

Do I need to use the application number in AOR as file number in GCMS form?

Yes CEC. Your File number that starts with E00... is also your CEC application number in the ATIP online request.
