Yes,

May I know how did you apply for GCMS Notes? Any consultancy? Any known person living in Canada? or any Website? I am afraid to give undertaking to a consultancy to apply for my GCMS Notes because of my past experience with fake agents.

You can apply for your GCMS notes by yourself. It´s online, free and easy.

Hello everyone, been watching this thread but I'm growing very desperate amidst my situation. To summarize, my recent timeline is:

June 15: ADR
June 20: Documents submitted and review started.
June 22: Background check started (according to the tracker)

Nothing since then. I'm a Fall intaker and I only have a month left. I don't know if I should concern myself over this or not. Any advice or recommendations (good or bad) will be appreciated!!!
