Review of submitted documents We need an additional document from the applicant
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
A background check is needed In Progress
Final decision Not Started

My case is exactly the same. And my question is also the same. :)
Is there any other November 24 candidate left (CEC/Inland) to get the 1st update (Med/etc)? May be I am the only one :(

I think when you want to see the updates and officers notes on your applications, then you have to choose the other option. If you just need to see your information (your communication with IRCC), then you choose Privacy act. It is clearly written on the website when you proceed to order notes.

Crap, I'm going to put a new order in then. It's only $5 anyways.

why do they require your wife to submit an RCMP report ?

has she been living in Canada ?

But then again, IRCC can conduct their own background check.

KrispyKreamKonnoisseur said:
Guys, has anyone of you ordered the GCMS notes? I don't think the 3 months rule actually true all the time, as depends on each application, we will have different timeline. I think we can order the notes one or two weeks after the Background checks changed to In Progress. Plus, it's free so why not? I just ordered mine 30 mins ago.

I think it is 5$ if a Canadian Citizen orders and more if anyone from outside does (not sure how much), if my understanding is wrong than please post the link on the forum as well, everyone would like to take benefit by getting free GCMS notes ;)
rd160309 said:
I just ordered GCMS notes after about 2 months. It is $5 for people living in Canada.

You CAN order it under the PRIVACY ACT for no cost!!

If you are ordering for yourself AND you are in Canada, then you order it under the Privacy Act and it is free of cost.

If someone else (friend/relative) is ordering it for you from Canada, then they have to order under the Access to Information act and it costs CAD 5.

If you go through an agency, it costs anywhere between CAD 25 to CAD 40.

Personal information is usually requested under the Privacy Act.

There are no fees charged for requests made under the Privacy Act.

The purpose of the Privacy Act is to protect the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information about themselves where it is held by a government institution and to provide individuals with the right to access such information.

Note: Personal information which belongs to an individual who is not a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or currently living in Canada must be requested under the Access to Information Act.

All government records (which include corporate documents and personal information) may be requested under the Access to Information Act.

The application fee for request made under that Access to Information Act is $5.00 and processing fees may also be charged under some circumstances.

The purpose of the Access to Information Act is to provide a right of access to records under the control of a government institution to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or any individual or corporation present in Canada.
