Hi, how did you reach out for gcms notes and other request without involving attorney, we would want to also check on our case. Application for ICT work permit was applied online on 28th April and biometrics was completed on 20th July at USCIS Denver and haven’t heard anything. Our lawyer reached out to IRCC in August and got a standard response.

You don't necessary need a lawyer to request gcms notes. I used this website https://caipsnotes.com/ (it costs 15 usd).

NYC VAC. I opt in for their FedEx 2way service. It took a week from the initial email to get the shipping labels from them. I did not ask if I can arrange and use other courier service.

Thanks for the quick response. I have emailed them for the shipping label, so hopefully they respond next week.

Your representative who filed your work permit has access to this account. They may have send an update there.
