I have requested for GCMS notes on April 22nd. Does applying for GCMS notes delay the application processing? Seniors, please advise.

GCMS notes no. However, if you request a copy of the physical file then this could potentially cause a slight delay - as they need to locate it to copy it... If a VO has it, it could cause a slight delay. However I would expect it to be minimal !

To be honest, no one really knows and can answer here with any certainty. It shouldn't in theory, but the actual impact is an internal process within the CIC.

just curious - why did you need 8 gcms notes if they processed it within the timelines?

Because is it free and lots of people are inpatient! They should start charging people money for it.
For the whole period of my application, I ordered the GCMS notes exactly ONCE. and it was 10 months after CIC received my application.
