I see all these people getting their GCMS notes and I'm losing it... Anyone still waiting like me??

Also, for those getting their notes, are they dated on the day you requested them or the day you got them?

My GCMS notes timeline:
- November 27th (IRCC) -> Never heard back from them (90 days so far)
- January 3rd (CBSA) -> Received a notice of extension on Feb 5th and nothing since (53 days so far)

If your GCMS notes was within scope of this complaint you can receive an updated GCMS notes at no charge and it will reveal the information that was previously withheld.

The GCMS notes request can only be cancelled by the requestor since they placed the request. However, if you are not able to get in touch with your fined whom you asked to request your GCMS notes, you can reach out to IRCC ATIP as well as file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner citing privacy concerns and asking IRCC not to release your information. But since you may have signed the consent form, it may be difficult to revoke it before the GCMS notes are released.

You can surely seek judicial intervention, but this is like killing a fly with a sledgehammer.

Apart from this, you have no other avenue. The GCMS notes are classified as Protected B, since they contain your personal information such as your passport number, details about your job etc. This is your private information and can be used against you. However, you can try and reach out to your friend and see if that helps.

Hi @legalfalcon ,

When Eligibility is under "Review required", would there be any elements in the notes (under the new format) that indicate whether the review is still pending or in progress ?

Would a note be entered when the review starts or would the note come only when the officer has taken the final decision on Eligibility ?

Hello @legalfalcon
I've just got notes from GetGCMS and found one item under Organizations & Entities saying "Name: PNP PGP IN to DN Transfers 2022". My case(PNP-EE-O) was stuck at HKVO for one year and recently transferred to Vancouver due to workload (re)distribution. Is there any thing negative about this entity? Thank you!

There is nothing negative. The application will routinely be transferred within IRCC's domestic or international network.

Hello @legalfalcon
My recent note came with Review Required for eligibility based on “PA resides in the UK, File referred to support supervisor for possible transfer to appropriate mission”

Do you understand this?
Do they intend to transfer my application to London Vo? I’m currently at RROC, submitted ADR for schedule A and POI.

will it be only London VO? Or any other VO they intend to transfer to?
