How long does it take to get the GCMS notes in general? Their own form made it sound like the turn around was pretty quick.

Hi All,

I need help to request GCMS notes. I submitted a request through ATIP portal and paid $5 last week. Today I received a generic email from IRCC as follows. However, I read here that I should be receiving details about my case sent by IRCC as a PDF attachment. I haven't received this and wondering what did I do wrong while submitting the GCMS request.

Appreciate any help/ advice. Thanks in advance!

Hi All,


Quick question - Finally after 1 year, I got a reply for my son application. They're saying to cut the PR card and send back the photo in same email. Email came.from IRCC.ClientInformation-InformationsClient.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

-is this a valid email.address because for my applicationI got emails.from Mississauga office but thjs is different. So making sure it's not a scam.


- Can someone confirm who applied for child and they got similar email for their child application ?

-- my son is usa citizen, and I'm traveling outside country in 4 weeks and if I cut and spend back the PR CARD copy Today. Will I get certificate back in 4 weeks ?


- And in worst case if I don't get his certifcate and passport ready in 4 weeks. Can he travel back to canada on the USA passport without having any Canadian travel document ?


Can someone help and guide me in this please?
