How can I send GCMS/LVO

You should look into ordering GCMS notes. Sending LVO an email or launching a case specific inquiry are also steps that you can take to figure out how much processing is done and what is left. If you are a Jan applicant, you can get some good insight through your GCMS notes. Good luck.

How to apply GCMS / ATIP notes.
Only a person who is in Canada can request the notes.

If principal applicant is in Canada, he/she can request for himself and apply for free under Privacy Act.

If sponsor is requesting it on behalf of Principal applicant, you need consent form from PA and $5 fee. You can receive consent form from spouse thru email and upload it. Apply under Access to Information Act.

It takes about 30 days to receive by email. It is a ~30 pages document

Consent form:

Is Nadra divorce certificate alone is enough? I don't have union council divorce notices or anything. I asked local union council in Pakistan and they told me they don't keep the old records & my divorce was in 2012.

Any suggestion what to do now????

Hi. May I ask if they send an automated email after receiving a case specific Inquiry? Or do they just reply within a month?

I sent an inquiry about over a week ago and it did say "inquiry sent successfully" on the website. No reply yet. Just wondering. Thanks.

If you're talking about LVO, they send an automated confirmation message in reply to your email sent to [email protected]

Case Specific Inquiries sent via LVO's webform dont get such confirmation emails in return. But sometimes/in some cases, they do respond rather sooner than the mentioned 28 days time.. in my case they came back to me in 4-5 days when i raised a case specific inquiry using LVO's web form

Make a separate thread on this and ask other experts. I think they will find out anyway n might ask you to explain.
