"Access to Information Act" or "Privacy Act" - GCMS ??

[Gurindar]

I am in Canada and ordered GCMS notes under "Access to Information Act" which asked for 5 $ rather than using Privacy Act.

I hope choosing "Access to Information Act" and option as "Electronic" wont create any problem and delay my application , Am I correct ??? I am least bothered about 5 $ .

Different people are saying different things , Can anybody help me out to clarify things . Did I made any mistake to order GCMS notes under "Access to Information Act"?

No the $5 is what it costs for access to information

The only way you get it for free is if you order under the privacy act - but that doesn't give you any information on your file

I believe it used to be free a year or more ago, but now it costs $5

$5 is applicable if one selects Access to Information act and not for Personal information. That being said, I have tried both and received my notes successfully. No difference.

If the principal applicant is out of Canada but his spouse is in Canada. Does spouse have to pay $5 for their GCMS? Thanks!

If she requests her personal information then no charge.
