Good advice : Relax.
Good advice 2 : Enjoy your life.

Asking for GCMS notes is totally useless for most applications (and unknown to 99% of applicants), and yours has just started anyway...
So, it's not "too early" to do so, it's simply uncalled for.
Don't think about it unless something really derails your application.

I believe a basic recommendation is waiting 120 days without movement on your file.

I totally agree, it is ridiculous that people think that you need to apply for the note, that is one of the reasons the system is clogged; too many unnecessary requests.

Which system are you referring to? The ordering of notes has NO impact on the processing of applications.

A good rule of thumb for applying to notes could be;

- apply if you are IP/DM and you can't find anyone who has been stuck at the IP/DM stage (at your office location) since about the same time (or longer) as you have

or

- you've been stuck at the same stage for 6 months

or

- you have specific life circumstances that require you knowing where your file is at

or

- you have specific reasons to think the processing of your file is non standard

Everyone got IP who applied same as my time

I didn’t that’s why I was thinking to order notes
It's a small sample size on these forums, and I'll promise you that you're not the only one who's at the same stage.

I remember back at the PR stage you were worried about being last as well, but that worked out fine eventually. Try not to worry so much.
