Which one should I select to get GCMS notes for Outland Spousal PR application and Criminal Rehabilitation application?

“What type of information are you requesting?

Privacy Act

In order to provide services to Canadians, the Government of Canada may collect personal information. The Privacy Act gives everyone the right to access their personal information held by government institutions that are subject to the Act, and protects that information against unauthorized collection, use, retention and disclosure. If you are looking for personal information held by IRCC, you should apply under the Privacy Act.

You can apply regardless of your status. There is no need to have a representative request these documents on your behalf.

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

You will receive the same information under the Privacy Act that you would under the Access to Information Act in relation to your personal information.

Access to Information Act

The Access to Information Act gives Canadian citizens, permanent residents and any person or corporation present in Canada a right to access records of government institutions that are subject to the Act. The Act complements other policies and procedures to make government information publicly available, such as open government initiatives and proactive disclosure of travel and hospitality expenses, contracts and other frequently-requested information.

If you are looking for corporate records, you must submit a request through the ATIP Online Request Service.

The application fee for request made under that Access to Information Act is $5.00.”
 
Nvm, lol. Google AI gave me the info I am looking for. I will post it below for anyone else in the future that has this question and searches here for an answer.

“GCMS notes are processed under the Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) framework, which includes both the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. If you are requesting your own personal information, you submit a request under the Privacy Act. If you are requesting general government records or information not about yourself, you would use the Access to Information Act.”
