Which website is more reliable for ordering GCMS notes? Or Asking a friend living in canada to order on my behalf is better option?

Hello,
My Application Status went from:

"We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you. Your application is taking us longer than usual to process. About 20% of our applications are more complex to process. They take us longer due to things like how easily we can verify information, how well and how quickly you answer our requests and whether the application is complete. If you aren't seeing updates, contact us using this Web form. Make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you to"

To:
"We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."

Is this a good sign?
I have requested my notes but haven't received them yet. Have called but no progress has happened in months. And have sent Web forms receiving the same template reply everyone else is receiving...
I really appreciate your comments.

Can anyone who has actually used Fongo app, tell me briefly how it works. As per my experience when I call 888-242-1200 they ask me enter 5 digit zipcode. So letus say I entered any zipcode of US, then they give me some address and contact number... then nothing further. What am I supposed to do with that information? How would I reach CIC?
Not sure about this but u can contact there support, when i signed up from US, i did not face and issues like this.They also have website you can log into. Support /Customer service is ur best bet.

This does not mean antything, these are same random typical answer. To get better answer , just call them. Webforms sadly never give back detailed reply.

DID ANYONE SEE PROGRESS BAR IN MYCIC ACCOUNT? MINE NOT SHOWING ANYMORE.
Yes, the bar has disappeared for me too. Seems like just random update or maybe they change it once certain time period from 6 mnths elapse. My AOR is 24th; not raising my hopes on this change though.

I think the getgcms.com site is run by a few forum members including @legalfalcon

It's probably the one I would go with!

IRCC has sought an extension of 90 days to my GCMS notes request. how common is that?

text =
I wish to inform you that, in accordance with the Access to Information Act, an extension of 90 days beyond the statutory 30 day limit is necessary to process your request. This extension is due to a large number of records or necessitates a search through a large number of records and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the government institution.

thoughts?

I have seen this several times in this forum recently. I guess this is normal

Anyone who has applied from India (new delhi) please help if there is any certain time by which we should reach VFS and does it work on Saturday.
Do we need to take an appointment as was required in case of biometrics.

For passport submission, you need not book an appointment. Its a walk in facility. However, passport submission is allowed only on weekday.
