I got a response from them. Their response states to make a case specific enquiry online. Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back if you make a case specific enquiry? If it takes over a month then I might as well order the GCMS notes

Hey Bryanna,

If I order GCMS notes, will I only get info related to the current application or past applications as well. If current application only, how can I request GCMS notes to include notes for the past refused applications.

thanks

Your GCMS notes will be for the application that you have sought information. You can request these notes for the current application in-process or the previous applications.

That said, it is possible that some pages of the GCMS notes might not be released to you if IRCC believes it should not be made available.

It would be a good idea to send the IRCC web form to your visa office as advised by IRCC

I did send the IRCC web form last week when they requested it. Do you have any idea how long it takes to hear back. They did say about 28 days. Wondering if they respond sooner than that...

It's difficult to say especially for a response to a PFL case

Besides the medicals, was the timeline like this earlier too when you got the PFL?

Did you get the request for medicals?

Except the background check, the time line was like this. As soon as we submitted the response to the PFL, the background check was initiated.

Yes, we did receive the documents to get a medical for both my FIL and MIL.

In that case, fingers crossed..... their applications are on the right track

I remember reading about a case on the board that an application was refused after the medical for misrepresentation (for not declaring a previous visa refusal). It would be waste of time and money if this is what they plan to do here.

I don't think so
