My AOR is April 28 & had requested for GCMS notes on Jun 22 via GetGCMS. However, I have not yet received the notes, although the 30 days deadline has passed. Anyone recently has the same experience? Will like to hear thoughts on potential implication. Thanks in advance

GetGCMS is not the correct place for requesting GCMS notes and does not seem legit. That explains why there is a delay.

You should apply GCMS directly from the government of canada and it is free:

if this can only be requested by Canadian citizens or PR holders, how can applicants request this service through the official website ?

It does not require you to be a canadian citizen or pr. Just go ahead and apply~I applied it twice and I was neither a canadian citizen nor a pr. Both of the times, I got it within a month.

To send a request you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or an individual or corporation currently in Canada.
this is just a few lines above the apply online button.

oh and I am far from applying for GCMS, but was just curious about when I actually need to.

Pls do not cast aspersions like this without any basis, this is run by some very reputed people, some of who are even on this forum for long.
It is completely legit and majority uses this only to order notes. It's quite normal to get it in 30-40 days.

nope I am an FSW-O applicant. which is why I was curious as to how we can get the GCMS notes from the government website and I thought getgcms.com (mentioned in Legal falcon's signature) was the only way to go about it.

Don't worry you can expect it soon, it can take 30-40 days.
 
Thanks guys.. appreciate all your help. Will wait for few more days and then escalate to ICC

Getgcms is definitely legit and as far as the delay is concerned, it does happen sometimes and the delay is from ircc. If you have crossed the turnaround time given, I would suggest you to wait a few more days and meanwhile ask getgcms team to enquire about the delay.

I have been getting my Gcms notes from them and only once there was a delay else it comes in your mailbox in 30-40 days time.

Getgcms is a third party and helps people who are not in Canada and neither do have any contacts there to request gcms on our behalf.

Hey Doge, I was also planing to order my GCMS notes from GetGCMS, wanted to check with you to know what made you think that it's not legit. It will help save my time & money.

IMHO, you should only get them from a trusted friend/family, a ICCRC certified lawyer or yourself considering the data to get GCMS Notes are very sensitive and can potentially do huge damage to your immigration process if mishandled.
