They are all GCMS notes (Global Case Management System).

You can get them from (at least) 3 agencies: IRCC (where most people get them), CBSA, and CSIS.

For security/criminality/background, you get more information from the latter 2.

You can request all 3 with separate requests. The ATIP portal is used for CBSA and CSIS. The ATIP portal will redirect you to IRCC for their special ATIP protocol. All 3 are requested via the Privacy Act, since it's your own information. If you have spousal data, make sure you get a consent form signed and sent with it, and both of your IDs, and make sure your signature matches the IDs or signatures the agencies have on file.

I'm sure you didn't mean ignorance? The government agencies have 30 days to complete a request made under the Privacy Act with the option to extend if circumstances warrant. If you selected to get the information via the ATIP portal, make sure you check it out as they probably uploaded the info there. Don't expect an email.

You're right (it should be ignoring). And Yes, I made a typo in my email so needed to update my info with IRCC's ATIP division (I inquired them). Thank You.

For those lucky new citizens who have also applied for passports 2 questions:

1. Any suggestions/recommendations when filling out the application form, submission suggestions for quick turnaround, which office to go to etc. For e.g., should I go to the Scarb location for efficient processing?

2. Any one received the old design? As I will pledge my allegiance to HRM King Charles soon, I want my coat of arms to be large and prominent as the old design. : D So when I take my insta photos, I can also showoff my new passport like the rest of my friends who love to show off their boarding passes and passports. = P

Borrow somebody's old passport for your photo (just show the cover), get yourself a photo of King Charles, a coat of arms, all the stuff. The coat of arms on the citizenship is pretty colorful (not to my tastes but it's the real deal). Do whatever you like.

Only one needs to be stamped with the "i certify this to be a true likeness of ________________ signed ______________" for your guarantor. The other identical photo doesn't need to be signed.
