Don't worry.. I will be here with you. IP since Nov 1st !! Mississauga office, and you ?
same here. I live downtown, got IP on Oct 25th. Nothing after that. I called IRCC and they told me that my file was transferred to Mississauga on Dec 2nd and they have to allocate a test center/date. Not sure why it's taking so long as I feel my case is really simple!! I was thinking of applying for GCMS notes and see what is causing the bottleneck all of a sudden!

Its access to information

It's access to information. It contains a detailed record of each applicant’s file, including correspondence from and to IRCC, documents received from the applicant, detailed notes from the officers reviewing the file among others. I believe there is a small fee for requesting it and a 30 day waiting period.

would this affect the application in any way? I mean it is only 5 bucks, why aren't we requesting this?

It's not going to affect your application in any way as far as I know. All they are going to do is send you a document with all the information they have on your file. Its only 5 Dollars, but it will take a month to get this information from IRCC. The wait time is the only reason that is stopping me. I have asked people in this forum if they have requested the notes for citizenship application, but no one replied so far.
