I requested a GCMS note on April 29th, 2015, and then I received this email:

I haven't received any updates or extension needed emails, did I miss something?

You should be getting your info at any time I would think if you selected to receive the files via email.

Email.
Is it normal to have delay?

Its not usually for them to be a couple of days late . Some times mine come just on the 30 days some times a day or two after . E.G.you request them after 3-pm on a Friday, they won't start the process until Monday . There's your 3 days late. The email receipt you received is an automatic response.

If you haven't received your GCMS you should contact them to inquire about the delay at: ATIP-AIPRP@cic.gc.ca

Keep in mind there was a long weekend in May, so they may be late because of that!

I received my notes via email and it took 33 days from the order date. You will probably get them really soon.

I notice my notes always come between 1-2 EST. So if you don't receive them this afternoon, I would shoot an email.
