I do not think so because you have to proof that your sponsor or you is eligible under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act to request GCMS notes.

Does anybody know if they keep GCMS notes up to date? Is it possible that they have been doing something with an application but just haven't updated GCMS notes at that time?

As far as I understand GCMS notes are an electronic printout of your file from their system. Anytime they do anything with your file would be logged in and will show in the GCMS notes. In my opinion it is the most accurate and up to date report you can get.
For example, On my husbands GCMS notes, they show the officers name or code that worked on the application and shows who it was forwarded to, any entry they made is there, the dates they did something, even the correspondence / e-mails show with dates and their responses; comments about the relationship and their opinions about it.

Happy Holidays to all celebrating Orthodox Christmas. All the best to you and your loved ones.

Srećan Božić Eva! All the best to everyone celebrating!

I came back from Canada. Being home with family and friends feels so great, I wasn't completely aware how much I missed them. Being apart from my hubby again after spending few months together isn't easy so it balances it out

Newpal, about your question, Canada was really nice for me but at this time I wasn't trying to find a job. I enjoyed furnishing our apartment, making it look and feel like a home, meeting new people, exploring Toronto, working on my thesis, discovering my culinary skills , traveling and enjoying every minute of free time my hubby had after work (he works soooo hard). I didn't feel this relaxed since my summer breaks while studying but that's not the real life. Real life will begin when I start looking for a job without Canadian experience in such a competitive market, trust me that's the only worry I have after this visit because it will affect a lot my mood and general quality of life. People work and study at the same time, they are very ambitious and committed, self improvement is a must at all times. I like that, I am not afraid of working hard, I am just worried about getting that first chance of obtaining Canadian experience.

With a good job it is my opinion that Canada can be great, of course it has it's positive and negatives but it all depends on your attitude and circumstances you are coming from. Standard of life is great, you feel safe, the system works, the best thing is that you do know what is coming tomorrow, there is some kind of certainty. Coming from a country like Serbia I can honestly say Canadians are not fully aware of this blessing. I am not saying it is easy at all, every day you have to work hard, life is expensive in general, you pay for all kind of silly stuff if you ask me, people do not complain because they are used to it but when two people work and live together I think it can be great.

People are very kind and friendly, in a city like Toronto you can never feel like a stranger, you can be yourself. Getting used to everything was much easier for me than I thought it would be. There are things I don't like that much but you just have to accept it as a part of different culture (not just Canadian). People are not as sociable as they are in my country. Spending time with your friends and family is far less spontaneous, on a first contact they are very easygoing but they don't open up as much, don't show so much emotions, they are just not close on the level I am close with my friends. On line dating is in 99% a way of meeting new people. I have nothing against it, don't get me wrong, I am just trying to say I feel sorry that people are so alienated. 10 seconds after midnight on New Years Eve I turned to see everyone around us was looking at their smartphones

These are some of my thoughts for now, we'll see what I will think in a year from now But all in all, I am very satisfied with my visit because I could see our future at least for some time.

Hvala Milice,
I am glad you had a good time in Canada and that you have positive thoughts about life here. Every move is a big adjustment and will take some time to get used to. There are many opportunities but you have to work for them. It’s true that people work and study at the same time to better themselves or to advance in their carriers. I did the same, worked during the day and attended college (part time) in the evening. Everything is possible, you just have to put your mind to it.

If that's true then my case won't be over anytime soon. My wife's GCMS notes from December say that they haven't started the security or criminality checks. We applied Jan 7

I could be wrong about the accuracy... I got the GCMS notes in August and didn't show any security or crimanlity check started, but in their e-mail from May they said they would advise about next steps after the background checks are completed. So I just assumed they actually started them, based on that e-mail. For the crimanality check it said, " not strted" but for security it was blank. Not sure what to make of it either.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, and didn't mean to confuse you.
