I have read somewhere that you have to be in Canada to get the the gcms notes but if they are just electronic, do you think we can order them from the Phils?

Yes you have to be in Canada when you order them. So the sponsor may order it. I think they will deliver the GCMS notes to the address of the sponsor. :) Not sure too dear if we can orde it here since the payment can me made online right?

Are you going to order GCMS notes too? ???

We both (sponsor/applicant) live in the phils mrsalvaro. I guess what I am asking, is there a way to order them and have them sent electronically via email or are they hardcopies only? All else fails suppose I could change my mailing address to my family in Canada and have it sent there too. Or?

I am considering taking tagum's advice and order them monthly or bimonthly as I don't want delays and from what I have read on this forum, the CIC is not very good at communication.

Yeah . I think I'll get one too. Maybe the end of this month. So it means I can order it for myself using my credit card even If I am here right?
I will hehe. Makes me curious to know the progress of our application. :p :p :p

Thanks to you and Tagum- N.B :p :p

I believe one is for stuff that you are taking with you and the other is stuff that you are are sending separately.. (if anything) but someone who has landed can answer it better.

I am pretty confident you will find that B4e is the English version of the form and B4a is the Addendum to the form if you have too much to list on B4e or if you have a separate list for things that are being shipped separately. Just my opinion.

That is a hard question to answer... On average it use to be about 1 month... now it is closer to 2 months or more. Or you could be like Tagum and be over a year. It all depends to when they get it done. You can take a look at the speadsheet that scos has done to see the dates of many people.

Best advice is not to buy a ticket until you get your COPR.

BTW, i don't see you on the spreadsheet, can you share your timeline.
