EDIT
Hey guys,
I am the sponsor requesting notes. I am also the rep for my wife and we are filling out the consent form.
Under "Are you requesting information on your behalf?" do I select yes or no?

 

[syconetgeek]

Hey Guys,

I was checking the Consent form, could you please tell what information should be present on section 2.1 of the form? s this for a secondary applicant?

1. Designated Representative’s Information
2. Applicant's Information
2.1 Related Individual’s Information

 

[Kk_cool_anuba]

Could anybody tell me what is included in the information that is provided by CIC when I make a request under access to information act?

Hi experts,

Is it worth paying for the GCMS notes or you reckon the free service just works fine? Is it frustrating to not receive the update after waiting for 30-45 days. One of my friend suggested using - https://www.ordergcmsnotescanada.com/ But I am just not sure if there's better way to get it for free??

If you are outland, you have to pay. I have seen this website, i don't know even if they are active or not. I suggest getgcmsnotesbuddy.com for it.

Other than getgcmsnotesbuddy.com, who else is there?
