What are GCMS Notes?

GCMS notes are the internal records the Government of Canada keeps on your immigration application. They include officer notes, processing details, reasons for delays or refusals, security screening, and admissibility checks. IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) holds the application-processing records. CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) holds security and admissibility records. Any applicant, or an authorised representative, can request these records under Canada’s Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Act.

GCMS Notes Request submits your ATIP request to IRCC or CBSA the same business day you complete your order. You receive your notes as a secure PDF once the government releases them, usually in 15 to 35 days. Requests can be made from anywhere in the world, and submitting one does not affect your immigration application.

Who Should Request GCMS Notes?

Applicants with a refused application

If IRCC refused your study permit, work permit, visitor visa, or permanent residence application, GCMS notes show the exact reasons the officer gave. This is the starting point for any reconsideration or appeal. How to use GCMS notes after a refusal.

Applicants with delayed processing

If your application has passed the standard processing time with no update, GCMS notes show where your file is stuck, what the officer has reviewed, and what is still outstanding. Check current processing times.

Immigration lawyers and consultants

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) and lawyers use GCMS notes to build reconsideration requests, Federal Court applications, and Humanitarian and Compassionate submissions. Same-day submission supports time-sensitive cases.

Former applicants with historical cases

GCMS notes are available for applications filed in the past 10 years. This is useful for citizenship applications, sponsorships, or any case where past immigration history is relevant.

GCMS Notes, Common Questions

How much do GCMS notes cost?
GCMS Notes Request offers IRCC notes from CA$20, CBSA notes from CA$25, the IRCC and CBSA bundle for CA$40 (regular price CA$45), and the complete case file with IRCC notes for CA$50. The Canadian government does not charge a separate fee for ATIP requests made through a representative.
Does ordering GCMS notes affect my immigration application?
No. Requesting GCMS notes is your legal right under Canada’s Access to Information and Privacy Act. It does not affect your application in any way, and immigration officers cannot see that you have made a request. Read more in our FAQ.
How long does it take to receive GCMS notes?
Most GCMS notes requests are completed within 15 to 35 days. The timeline depends on the Canadian government, not on us. GCMS Notes Request submits your ATIP request the same day you complete your order. See current processing times.
What is the difference between IRCC and CBSA GCMS notes?
IRCC notes cover your application processing details, officer comments, and decisions. CBSA notes cover security screening, admissibility checks, and background processes. If your case seems delayed or you want the full picture, ordering from both is recommended. Learn the difference between IRCC and CBSA notes.
Can I order GCMS notes from outside Canada?
Yes. You can order GCMS notes from anywhere in the world. The request is submitted electronically to the Canadian government on your behalf. Learn more about ordering from outside Canada.
Do I need a consent form to order GCMS notes for someone else?
Yes. If you are ordering GCMS notes on behalf of another person, the applicant must sign a consent form authorising the release of records. You upload the signed consent form during the order process. The form is a standard ATIP consent document; no lawyer or commissioner is required.
What is included in the Entire Case File?
The Entire Case File includes your GCMS notes from IRCC plus all documents you submitted with your application, such as forms, supporting evidence, and correspondence. It gives you a complete record of everything in your immigration file. This option is ideal if you received a refusal, need records for legal purposes, or want to review exactly what IRCC has on file. Learn more about the Entire Case File.
Are GCMS notes official and admissible in legal proceedings?
Yes. GCMS notes are official records released directly by IRCC and CBSA under the ATIP Act. They are routinely used in Federal Court applications, reconsideration requests, and appeals. The PDF you receive is the same document the government produces, with no modification by GCMS Notes Request.
What if my GCMS notes request is not fulfilled?
The Canadian government releases records for valid ATIP requests under the law. If your request cannot be processed because of missing information or an invalid consent form, GCMS Notes Request will contact you to resolve the issue. If the government formally closes your file, a refund policy applies; see our refund policy for details.
