I found the required info are almost the same for ATIP and Privacy Act. The only difference is the latter service is free of charge. Correct me if I was mistaken.
What kind of the situtation should I apply ATIP and / or Privacy Act if I want to get the (officer) note in electronic record? Apart from the fees, what's the major different?
Indeed, I requested Privacy Act for the following situations but I'm unsure whether it is correct:
1. My citizenship has been transferred to Vancouver office early of January and I haven't received any news. Some applicant submitted their application around my time, was already received a citizenship test notice. I want to check if any special notes were marked in my record.
2. I can't remember the travel date to USA after I filed my citizenship applicaton, so, I requested for travel history to CBSA. Just want to make sure I can have a accurate record on hand upon request.
Your inputs and advises are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ATIP - Access to information and privacy acts
which is formed of two acts
Access to information act
Privacy act
Access to information act - Access to data under control of govt institution that should be public knowledge
Privacy act - Access to personal information from a govt institution
So one should ask for ATIP data under the Privacy act to access your own information.
