ALL ABOUT GCMS - HOW TO ORDER, READ, & GENERAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED

[caipsnotes]

Hi @caipsnotes ,
How can I request information in old GCMS format for CBSA? Should I mention 'I am requesting information in old GCMS format' while raising the ATIP request in the message body?

Hi. Yes that will suffice.

I requested the GCMS notes on Aug 19, but I didn’t get the reply. The processing time is over 40 days. Is there anyone else in the same boat? Or how long I have to wait?

Hi @legalfalcon @caipsnotes , please see below my status as shown by the recent GCMS notes generated on 23/09/2021. I am surprised that security has not started since February 24 2021, the officer passed eligibility as showed in the notes. Is there anything to be worried about? I will very much appreciate your feedback on this.

I've waited for 4 months. I eventually got them.

Delays with IRCC are very common. Each year, IRCC publishes its ATIP report that informs how many requests it received and the average time frame within which the information was released. As per the last published report, between 2019-2020, 49% of the requests filed with IRCC took longer than 30 days to be released, 32% took between 30-60 days, 11% took 60-120 days and 6% took longer than 120 days.

Hi. Nothing to be worried about here. Eligibility has been passed by an officer and that's the most important step in the process. All the best.

Thanks for your reply.
Is there any possible reason for the Notes delay other than the COVID-19 or high processing volume?

Hi All,
Please, I have two questions:
(a.) I got my GCMS notes and under "Client Information", the review status is "Review Required".
(b.) Also, at the end of my Notes 1, the Program Assistant wrote "DOCUMENTS SET FOR REVIEW: Client Information"
I did not answer "yes" to any statutory question.

Please, what is the meaning of the above?
@legalfalcon and other members, please assist.
Thank you.

You just passed R10.
Every R10 has this text.
Wait for A11.2 now.

Thank you.
Please, just to clarify: Do you mean the review status of "Client Information" (of R10) has "Review Required"? Or were you referring to the second part of the question?

Delays are not related to COVID-19. It's related to volume and here are the attempts being made to address them https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...nagement-action-plan-oic-recommendations.html

Most delays are due to the volume of requests received. The delay has no bearing on the processing of your request.

IRCC has already clarified this:
