Nope that's a different thing. You may have selected the wrong option.

Gcms notes are just a printout of data from their system. Usually 20+ pages of data with more valid notes towards the back.

This sucks.

I remember choosing the privacy act. However, can you tell me which option should I choose.

Thanks.

You need to choose your case files - I can't remember if there is the help icon to the side of the choice but you don't want your application - just your case.

Not necessary. You can get the PCC from PSK and send the original to CIC. Make sure you draft a covering letter to explain that you are in India.

You should post this on the Family Sponsorship forum - not in the CEC forum :)

Did any one from november people thinking of upfront medical to save some time ?
Hi Gladaki,

I was just wondering if you did an upfront medical? I am a November applicant but I still do not have any MR, I am thinking of doing this as my husband is always away. Please advise. Thanks.

I sent my dox to CPP-O address you noted (which is correct) through Xpress Post....but the signature service was useless. CPP-O receives mail in bulk only and they were thus unable to confirm who and exactly when it was received. I think the status of my shipment still says "out for delivery"!! lol :eek: I requested an investigation through Canada Post and they came back to me with "bulk mail shipment - unable to confirm delivery".

Waiting on GCMS notes to confirm that it was indeed attached to my file. If they were not, then I will be addressing it further with Canada Post, as there were confidential dox in there. Anyways, Xpress Post should be fine, but dont expect signature confirmation. Maybe just my experience....perhaps someone else can add more to this.

Hi CEC2013! Can't we use UPS or DHL especially for PPR? I've lots of experince with Canada Post too about missing documents. My Tax retrun and Canada child tax benefits. They're just so unreliable right now.
