Hi
I applied for my GCMS notes 10 days back from india.
you need to follow the steps below:
1. Find a friend who is currently in canada. keep his phone number, complete postal address with you.
2. Create a letter addressed to the Citizenship and immigration canada stating that you are authorizing your friend XYZ to obtain information under the privacy act on your behalf. state in the letter your friends complete postal address along with his phone number.
3. In case you have any dependents in your application, you might to create multiple letters.
4. take a print out of the letter, sign it and then scan it into a pdf and keep it handy.
5. Open the GCMS website. and apply posing as your friend, give address details, his resident status in canada etc. if you have ny doubt..better ask your friend before hand.
6. there will be an option, whether you are obtaining this info on your own behalf or your friend.. "SELECT someones elses behalf."
7. make sure in the friends email id details.. you enter your own email id. dont need to enter your friends email id, because you will directly get the notes on your email id that way.
8. follow the next steps which would require, entering your aplication number, UCI etc..
9. in the end you will be required to upload the authorization letters.. this is when u upload the scanned letters from step 4.
thats it.. you are done.
