I just looked at the ATIP webpage and unless I have my husband's written consent, I cannot make inquiries on his behalf. Because he is not a Canadian citizen (as yet), he cannot access ATIP. So how do we get these notes? He is in Nigeria so he would have find the form, sign it, scan it and email it to me. Am I correct?

Proof that you have the right to make a request:
Proof may include a copy of your Canadian passport, your permanent resident card, or an official document that demonstrates you are currently living in Canada (i.e. driver’s license, bill with proof of address, or work, study and/or visitor permit).
If you have a mailing address in Canada, you will NOT be required to provide proof.
Consent, if applicable:
If you are making a request on behalf of someone else, you must include consent to release their information. The consent must be signed and dated by the person authorizing the disclosure of his/her information.
It is also recommended that you include a consent for each individual listed in your file over the age of 18.
If submitting your request to CIC, please use the Consent for an Access to Information and Personal Information Request form (IMM 5744).
Credit card, if your request is being made under the Access to Information Act:
There is a $5.00 application fee for these requests. (There are no fees under the Privacy Act).
At the end of the application, you will be automatically directed to an e-Payment tool, where you will be required to pay your $5.00 application fee using a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or prepaid credit card.

Yes one can know the status of their application using GCMS/ATIP notes as most of the time E-CAS status changes directly from Application Received to Decision Made.
