GCMS Notes Tracking
You can track the status of your GCMS notes request through your secure account at gcmsnotesrequest.ca.
After placing your order on GCMS Notes Request and submitting your consent form, your account shows real-time updates on your request’s progress. You also receive email notifications at key milestones, including when your request is submitted to the government and when your notes are ready for download.
How to Track Your GCMS Notes Request
Step 1: Log In to Your Account
Visit gcmsnotesrequest.ca and log in to your account using the credentials you created when you placed your order. Your account dashboard displays all active and completed requests.
Step 2: View Your Request Status
Each request displays its current status. The status updates automatically as your request moves through the process. You do not need to contact us for routine status checks; your account always shows the most current information.
Step 3: Check Email for Updates
You receive email notifications at important milestones like, when we receive your consent form, when we submit your request to the government, and when your notes are ready for download. If you are not seeing updates, make sure to check your spam or junk folder.
What Each Request Status Means
Awaiting Consent Form
You have placed your order, but we have not yet received your signed consent form. Submit your consent form through your account to move forward. For help with this step, see our GCMS notes consent form guide.
Request Submitted
We have verified your consent form and sent your request to the government department (IRCC, CBSA, or both). This is when government processing time begins. Typical processing takes 15 to 35 days from this point. For current averages, see our GCMS notes processing time page.
Extension Applied
The government department has applied an extension under the Access to Information Act, which extends the delivery timeline beyond the standard 30-day window. The government initiates these extensions, and they fall outside the control of GCMS Notes Request. For more information, see our page on GCMS notes delays.
Completed
The government has released your GCMS notes, and they are now available for download in your account as a PDF. Once you have your notes, read our guide on what to do after receiving GCMS notes for next steps.
How Long Does the GCMS Notes Process Take?
The typical timeline from order to delivery is 15 to 35 days. We submit your request the same business day your consent form is complete, and we deliver your notes the same day the government releases the records. The only variable is government processing time, which no one can control or speed up. For a detailed breakdown and current averages, visit our GCMS notes processing time page.
Do You Get a Tracking Number for GCMS Notes?
GCMS Notes Request does not provide a traditional tracking number like a courier service. Instead, your account dashboard serves as your tracking tool, showing your request’s current status in real time. If you ordered through GCMS Notes Request, your account is the single source for tracking updates.
What If You Have Not Received Your GCMS Notes?
If your request has shown “Request Submitted” status for more than 35 days, the government has likely applied an extension. Start by checking your account for any status updates. If the status still shows “Request Submitted” with no extension note, contact GCMS Notes Request support for an update.
Extensions are common and do not indicate a problem with your immigration application. They simply mean the government department needs additional time to prepare the records.
