I actually found someone with a similar request. https://open.canada.ca/en/search/ati/reference/9e385830c1c16e89d0b9956b1d3226cd see this ATIP request. they requested in may 2022, and their question was about PR applications, so I don't think it'll include abbreviations used in citizenship applications but just wanted to show that we can probably request this information from IRCC using ATIP.
GCMS - RC-8090

Location: E-Grant DF is probably the most significant words recently in the IRCC GCMS notes, however, nobody seems to know what it actually means not even those IRCC customer care representatives we call on phone.
But personally I don't think its a good word because everybody that saw E-Grant DF in their GCMS notes seems to be experiencing significant delay in their application.
maybe it means delayed/deferred further lol, but jokes aside yeah I think it is a bad sign.
It is free if you are requesting your own info. A general inquiry like this won't fall under Privacy Act but would fall under Access to Private Information Act. If I hadn't already have 4 ongoing ATIP requests, I wouldn't mind the 5 dollars fee, but just in case these kinda of requests affect the speed of our applications, I plan to refrain from requesting a general ATIP request. If it is true, I'm under some kind of investigation lol, and I'm pretty sure their data sources would include ATIP requests, so the number of requests would probably cause longer wait time, but this is just speculation of course, I can't be sure.
Yeah but I think these requests do not make the process longer. Even for some files these requests made it move after a long time of silence. Who know. Ircc is a black-hole
yeah I agree. Personally, I don't think it affects the timeframe for an average immigrant, but since my notes suggests that I have a some sort of investigation going on about me, and because it is probably processed by the CSIS and we don't know what sources of information they use, it might make my application longer. So, I try to refrain from making ATIP requests as much as possible. Who knows, they might even be lurking here and I might be making my application take longer simply by typing here hahaha.Yeah but I think these requests do not make the process longer.

As 2023 draws to a close, my application, submitted in June 2023 and initially assigned to Vancouver, is currently under the jurisdiction of Sydney 8090 for LPP since August 9th. The file's current location is the enigmatic E-grant DF.
Interestingly, my 9-year-old son, part of the same application group, recently transitioned from "not started" to "in process" in both BG and LPP. I'm curious if this alteration in my child's application status holds any significance.
Wishing you an early Happy New Year!

Reading that post I can confirm I have a similar situation to yours! My notes #1 is also blank (redacted). But I feel like for the person who has showed note #1 visible it was not redacted for some reason and may be that we all have the same reason. I will also stay positive and say that it is a good thing and hop things get completed soon.
did you check why it was redacted? like under which law? I have s.21 and s.22 on my notes (at the top right corner, and in the email they send)
I think this is about the security screening page that is always blank. Maybe also for Note 1!!!
The processing of your request is now complete and enclosed is the personal information to which you are entitled to under section 12(1) of the Privacy Act, which only permits you to access information about yourself. Please refer to the following for an explanation as to what was released:
Disposition of your records: Disclosed in part
Section(s) of the Act applied (if applicable): 21 The detection, prevention or suppression of subversive or hostile activities, 22(1)(b) law enforcement and investigation
You received the following amount of pages (if applicable): 18
I think it's possible in theory, but in execution it requires a certain, very specific and particular way of phrasing in order to extract a meaningful response (if a response at all) from IRCC. Not unlike the kind of language and framing as seen in https://open.canada.ca/en/search/ati/reference/9e385830c1c16e89d0b9956b1d3226cd.
