ATIP GCMS Notes for IRCC applications are especially valuable if the applicant happens to be in an ongoingly-prejudice-vulnerable minority group (e.g., LGBTQ&c.) and can see by the provided Notes that there's no justifiable reason for their application to be being held-up procedurally (i.e., other than an official's reluctance to proceed); in which case s/he can then immediately engage an immigration lawyer and submit the IRCC Form for allowing a 3rd party to act on their behalf, thus prompting a review of the file.
