So here are updated instructions for ordering GCMS notes, from what we learned today:

Instructions on how to order GCMS for your application
Two general methods:
1. Complete a paper form IMM5563E and mail it
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf

2. Submit a request on-line:
https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/

If someone else is applying on your behalf using Method 2, you must grant your consent for them to do so using form IMM5744
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5744.asp

For each of the methods above, there are two different Canadian laws under which these requests are made. The applicant must select which law is to be envoked to pursue your request:

Privacy Act- Requesting notes under this law is free but can be done only by anyone physically present in Canada.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp

Access to Information Act (ATIA)- Requesting notes under this law is subject to a CA$5.00 application fee but can be applied for either by
1) someone in Canada or
2) a citizen or permanent resident of Canada who is physically present in Canada on behalf of anyone outside Canada.

If you are outside Canada and you know some inside Canada well enough to order your GCMS notes for you on your behalf, then they MUST do so for you under ATIA for a cost of CA$5.00. In this case, the paper copies of the forms must be completed and mailed on. The online form may not be used. Don't forget to include a completed IMM5744, linked above, with the application in this case.

One other thing- I think I've read elsewhere on this forum or on the net that there are also companies who will order these notes on your behalf for you for a fee. This option would be for anyone who know no one in Canada who can order this for you.

I sincerely hope this helps!
Thanks alot for ur detailed reply.
I have my relative in canada but they could not understand and agree to apply for gcms notes. Thats'y i m seeking another option for this.

Anyone else having the same issue as I am with regards to ECAS not updating with "Medical Received" despite having done your medicals awhile ago? Here's my timeline:

Category........: PNP
App. Filed.......: 17-Apr-2014
AOR Received.: 23-May-2014
Med's Request: 23-May-2014
Med's Done (Main Applicant): 27-May-2014 (did medical in Canada)
Med's Done (Spouse): 11-Jun-2014 (did medical overseas)
Med's Received: NO UPDATES

I'm very worried coz the 60-day deadline to complete medicals is looming but till date I don't even know whether the medicals have been received! Called the CIC hotline and they said the only way is to email Sydney coz there isn't a phone number I can reach them. I've emailed Sydney last week but no reply, and I've read folks in this forums who never ever receive replies from them.

This is incredibly frustrating!


Hello. I am from UAE and the processing time might be different but we have the same case.
My family and myself have completed the medical on 31st May 2014 and the physician aubmitted the result online on 09th June 2014. until now, the eCAS shows IN PROCESS.
I have emailed the VO a month ago advising them that we have completed the medical. I also attached the proof that the physician submitted the results online. no response from them.

You said you emailed the Sydney office. Can you please share the Sydney Office email address so i can email them too?

Thanks.
 
Today my medical done and i hope that my ecas status will change very soon

At least your ECAS status says that it is "In Process". Mine just reads: "We received your application for permanent residence on April 17, 2014.", and nothing more despite submitting the medical reports more than a month ago (close to 2 months ago to be precise).

You can email the Sydney office at CIO-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca . It has been 13 calendar days since my email and no reply yet. I've ordered GCMS notes though as they are rather unreliable in replying emails promptly.

Still no update. We've done our medicals last May 31 and the physician submitted the results online on June 9. I have sent 3 emails already to the VO informing them that we've completed the medical but no response til date.
No update on Ecas too.

Got a follow-up email from CIC in late Jul for my spouse to revisit the same doctor for further medical exam. Contacted the clinic and apparently the doctor forgot to submit one portion of the medical results online. Utterly careless of them and really hope this wouldn't delay our application (since my medical went through and passed a lot earlier in early Jun). In any case, my ECAS reflects "medical received" right now and based on my latest GCMS notes I'm assuming that got changed sometime early Aug.
 
Hello everyone, just sharing the good news. As of tonight, our eCAS status has an added line. MEDICAL RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED!

Keeping the faith even stronger. Hopefully PPR soon.
Praise God and may he continue to bless us all! :)
 
Hi All,

I am also sailing in the same boat !! No 3rd line update in Ecas

Application Received : 28th May
PER : 25th Sep.
MR Received : 11th Nov
Medicals done(Mine) : 15th Nov & Additional test on 29th Nov (India) - E Medical uploaded on 2nd Dec Hospital
Medicals done (Spouse) : 22nd Nov (Abroad ) - E medical uploaded on 10th Dec by Hospital
RPFF Receipt,Medical receipts,PCC : Received by NDVO on 8th Dec ( Courier delivery)

I could see people are getting 3rd line update in 7 to 10 days time from Medicals done !

Mine seems to be abnormal .

Any idea why this delay? Is something wrong ? ( Can I send a enquiry/GCMS note ) Advise required please

Call CIC and ask if they received your medical. If they have, you need to wait for them to connthe medical to your file.
I did my medical on Jan. 30, and it is still not passed after 2 medical requests and multiple web forms and photo calls from my side. Sometimes CIC just take their sweet time.
