Has anyone here been able to get CBSA notes (not GCMS) from outside of Canada ? Please let me know. Thanks.
I got mine yesterday, exactly 30 days since ordering. I live abroad but used my Canadian address (family). They sent a CD with the documents. The notes were the same as IRCC notes, a sentence here or there not redacted, but nothing I saw that was enlightening. Those notes also include scans of all the additional paperwork you've sent in. In total, my notes were around 165 pages. Ordered off https://atip-aiprp.tbs-sct.gc.ca/en/Home/Welcome and select CBSA notes.

@caipsnotes
Hello. The screening of yourself and your spouse are done independently. If you see Activities under the Admissibility section and they are redacted then it's likely underway or even completed. "APPEARS RFV" is seen in Eligibility notes but if your security is underway then it would imply Eligibility Review is completed.

RFV note was under general label text, not under eligibility label.

both of our security status are redacted but it was not completely erased, thats why I figured it out that it was PASSED

That's interesting that the redaction was incomplete; anyhow if it worked for you that's great. About RFV then it possible your application is all set then!

Quite likely yours is too. That sure is interesting that they left the P and D in place. If you have time at your hand you can write to them and inform of them of this oversight; it has no adverse effect on your application. You might get a letter explaining things and the corrective actions they may put in place.
