Hi everyone,

I ordered my GCMS notes and all I got was a file with my scanned application --- forms and supporting documents. Nothing else, no notes, nothing from VO is this normal?
Has this ever happen to anyone before?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes my visa was refused in January of this year after it was with them for over 4 months. My processing time was 4 weeks. The reasons were:

1. purpose of visit
2. have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees
for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue
3. personal assets and financial status.

So I ordered the notes. I got accepted into a civil engineering co-op diploma program. Previous studies was in electrical engineering, diploma.

I showed proof of funds for one year--- tuition and living expenses. I had even paid for a semester.

I think your requester might have selected the other option while requesting the notes, I mean, while you are making a request to CIC for the GCMS/ CAIPS notes, you have to select what type of record do you want to get, they give the two options
1- The electronic notes (In which the officer review is mentioned in the last - I think you are referring to and want to get these)
2- The application, forms and correspondence (I think your requester have requested these records)
I'm attaching the picture for your reference (Click on the image for enlarge resolution)
