GCMS & CBSA Notes
CAD $39.00
What are GCMS & CBSA Notes?
GCMS & CBSA Notes consist in two separate requests:
- The GCMS Notes, containing all details of your application, including the immigration officer’s notes, requested from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and
- The CBSA Notes, containing all details of your application, including the immigration officer’s notes and information regarding security, requested from Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Why order them?
With your GCMS Notes, if your application is ongoing, you can check its processing status and see if anything is wrong with it, and take proactive steps to improve it. If your application is already closed but was refused, you can get the details of the reasoning behind the refusal.
GCMS Notes from CBSA contain information regarding security that would be redacted under statutory exemptions if GCMS Notes are requested from IRCC.
By requesting both from IRCC and CBSA, you will decrease the risk of delay in receiving your Notes, as the requests are made to two separate government agencies and processed independently.
How long to receive them?
The Notes are received from IRCC & CBSA approximately within 30 to 40 days.
What do I need?
Your UCI and file/application number. After completing your order, you will receive pre-filled consent forms that will need to be signed to be able to submit the requests on your behalf.
What does this service include?
The service only includes requesting your Notes, and delivering them to you via e-mail, as received from IRCC & CBSA.
