Physical means you get your actual file. Electronic means they email automatically generated notes from your file.

Not the same.

Thank you for your reply. Does that mean if requesting electronic notes you might be missing some of what has been done on your file then??

If you are requesting your physical file I guess that means they would pull the full thing and copy out the full thing to send to you??? I would assume that might slow down your processing then??

Yes it would slow it down.

No, you wouldn't miss anything. You would see every note they have made about your application. Maybe you'll miss a doodle or two on some pages...
