My husband ordered his notes 32 days ago. He paid the $5 because he didn't know he could also get them for free.

He received an immediate email with a receipt and temporary tracking number. It says another tracking number would be assigned. But we never got that.

The notes have not arrived and we did check junk mail just in case.

We have no idea how we are supposed to track them or even find out where they are.

Any advice???

Thanks!

Quote from the receipt email...

Your temporary request tracking number is #######. After your request has been registered, a new number will be assigned to your request.
Should additional information or documents be required, you will be notified by the Access to Information and Privacy Division at Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
When you receive an answer to your request, review the information to determine whether you wish to make a further request under the Act.



We never got a new number. Does that mean after 32 days our request has not even been registered? It says it only take 30 calendar days.

I have googled and searched this forum and I am stumped. I know he could have got them for free but he chose the other option not realizing but we were told either way we would still receive them.

Happened to me too, only got a temporary tracking number. I sent an email quoting my temp tracking number and received an email back.

Try sending to this email: ATIP-AIPRP@cic.gc.ca

Best of luck!

There are two options on the website. He is in Canada so he can get it for free but t doesn't tell you which option is which (if i remember correctly) they just have two different names

Hockey fan how long after you sent an email did it take to get a reply?

Did the reply have the notes?

It's free if you are applying for YOUR own notes under the Privacy Act.. You have to be inside Canada.

If you are applying on behalf of your spouse, etc, then you have to apply under the "Access to Information Act". It costs $5 and you have to include an "permission to release information" signed by that person. The person applying for it has to be inside Canada.

how can we get it for free?
They didn't send me a second tracking number. Since it's been more than 30 days, just send an email to the same address(or the specific address if on the website) and ask for the status of your request. They usually reply within 2 - 3 days and will tell you if there is a relay and why.
