Thank you very much. Have you tried with them? Would you know the average time of their processing? Or do you know other better alternatives?
Another option is visafile.info. Costs almost the same and I got mine in 30 days.

If Outside use GCMSNOW.COM

Should be between 30-40 days if outside Canada.

To those who have successfully requested GCMS notes, would it be faster if I ask my Canadian relative to request on my behalf?
This versus me applying via third-party vendors such as GCMSnow.com, etc. Thank you.

Hey...I received my gcms notes yesterday.
I have below details in notes which were generated on 15-April-2016

21-Jan-2016 - R10 review -OK
22-Jan-2016 - ECA & Police Certificates- OK
26-Jan-2016 - Agent Review 11.2 - decision: Met

Question - Is Agent review 11.2 is the final review ? Or these is any other review after this one ?

Somewhere in the notes it says -
Eligibility - Met
Medical - Passed
Criminality - Passed
Security - Not started

File was transferred from one id to other id and due date was 24-April-2016 - Any idea what it means ?

Last update was 26-Jan but nothing after that.

Thanks for the help !!

Noone exactly knows what the due dates are. Most likely your file has been transferred from CIO to CPC. now its the waiting game for security checks to be completed.

Hello

I had ordered GCMS notes with my brother-in-law's address through Access to Information option. I had selected 'Permanent Residence' files option while ordering the notes.

I got an email from ATIP today stating the below

"We regret to inform you that we are unable to process your request for the following reason:

· The file number provided is not a permanent resident file. Please provide clarification as to whether you are searching for the information pertaining to the file number mentioned on the request or if you are seeking information regarding the permanent resident files.

Note that we will put your request on hold until we receive the requested information from you. If we have not received your reply by June 17, 2016, we will consider the request abandoned and close our file accordingly."


I am certain I entered the correct file number. What did I get wrong? Should I have chosen 'Express Entry' instead of 'Permanent Residence'?

Also, once I reply to their e-mail, will the GCMS notes be processed as of the date I sent my reply, or will it be processed as per the original date I had ordered for them?

Thank you

I read through different forum threads and everyone suggested to order with 'Permanent Residence' option, hence I went ahead.

Guess I will ask them for Express Entry files now.

Any idea whether the notes will be generated as of today or will they be generated as per the original order date?

Thank you

Hello Everyone,

I’m going to request GCMS notes for my EE PR application via ATIP using the info of my Canadian Aunt. I need help on the following fields as I’m not sure what to indicate:

What type of information are you requesting?
Privacy act?
OR
Access to information act?


Which type of records do you wish to request?
Case files?
OR
Corporate records?
OR
Passport?


Client ID Number (####-####)
-I assume here I should put the UCI number I got from AOR instead of the EE profile number. Please correct if wrong!


What type of record would you like to request?
Permanent Residence?
OR
Express Entry Profile?


File Number(s)
EE profile number?
OR
UCI number I got from AOR?


Below is the summary where I will indicate the correct inputs above:

Act & Record Selection

Act: Access to Information Act
Type of Records: Case Files

Requesting information for:
Surname (Family Name): TEST
Given Name(s) (First Name): TEST
Date of Birth: 1897-03-07
Client ID Number (####-####): 1234-1234
What type of record would you like to request?: Permanent Residence

Which specific information are you looking for?: The electronic notes of the immigration or citizenship officer(s)
File Number(s): 23452345


For the files to be attached, what I know is I need to provide copies of a consent form and my Aunt’s passport. Am I missing anything else aside from these files?


Thank you very much. Your feedback will be highly appreciated!
