HOW TO ORDER GCMS NOTES: STEP BY STEP PROCESS!

[caipsnotes]

Hi,

I applied a GCMS note and I got a temporary tracking number. Will I be able to track with the temporary tracking number ?

How long will it take to get the permanent tracking number?

Will I get the GCMS notes as a soft copy ?

Regards,
Karthik

You will find out of the permanent number if IRCC has questions about your GCMS request in which case they will contact you quoting the permanent number that may start with A or 2A. Other than that you will find out when you receive the GCMS notes.

You can always contact IRCC and ask as well if you applied directly with IRCC.

The tracking number doesn't do much for you if you applied using a third party. At best it services the purpose akin to an order number. Even then tracking number is not a must have to contact IRCC.

Will the notes be as soft copy ?

IRCC will send the information as a PDF document in an email or sometimes as a physical CD. The latter happens when the file is too large for IRCC to send via email

Thanks for clarifying

Thanks for clarifying

Welcome. The departments are trying to move away from mailing documents and CDs particularly during these times of COVID-19. For e.g. CBSA which ordinarily mails documents is now sending via email.

All the best.

Canadian address is not necessary, see right of access below.

To prove that you have the right to make a request, you must provide one of the following documents: a copy of your Canadian passport or your permanent resident card, or an official document that demonstrates you are currently living in Canada (i.e. a driver's license, bill with proof of address, work/study/visitor permit, etc). Only one (1) document is required. Your Social Insurance Number (SIN) will not be accepted.

Yes. If you can trust him with your personal information.

Hi, my friend wants to help request the GCMS notes for me. In the email section of the request form, can she put in my email address? or does it have to be her email address?

It should be the requesters email id, though you can enter any email id. If there are any questions IRCC will only communicate with the designated rep not the applicant in your case.

Alright. Thanks.

Hi guys, my friend is about to request GCMS on my behalf. In the "email" field of the online application form, does it need to match with the email address of the consent form that my friend filled in? Or it could be my (PA) email?

It's not required to be the same.

It’s been one year and one eligibility is still in
Process?

I wonder if requesting the GCMS notes will delay processing. Will it put my application on hold till GCMS notes are issues?

Requesting the Gcms Notes has no impact on the processing of your application. It does not slow down things and neither does it speed up things.
