Applying for GCMS

[ane]

Hai every one.
     I have a quaestion regarding request for GCMS. Do I have to pay $5, it says access information request only. How long it usually take to get the reply. Pls advise.

If you are in Canada no need of paying $5, Just select Privacy Act
Report will come to your e-Mail address if you provide
I had ordered it sometime back it took 1 month.

Thanks

does my husband have to sign the form, he is dependent. Application is asking for consent from every one major. Should he also have to sign a form and attach or no. I am the principal applicant.

My boyfriend wants to file this and he is in Canada.

You had mentioned it is free but here it says

BASIC ITEMS NEEDED TO START PROCESSING A REQUEST:
1. Formal request 2. Consent(s) - If you are requesting personal information that is not your own, you must include a consent to release the information. The consent must be dated and signed by the person giving the consent.
3. Fee ($5.00, only for an Access to Information request) - cheque, credit card or money order made payable to the Receiver General for Canada

Just confirming if its free or not?

it's free if the principal applicant is in Canada. pay $5 if someone else's is representing the principal applicant to apply for the notes from within canada (given applicant is outside canada).
