Order GCMS notes

If you have received a denial on a Canadian visa application or would like to see further details on the progress of your application, you should order GCMS notes.

The GCMS notes are a report from the Global Case Management System which is used by Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to process immigration and citizenship applications. It is the most comprehensive and up to date information that can be obtained to understand the status of a visa application or to learn the details behind an officer’s decision in a refusal.

Please note though that according to IRCC, 41% of all requests take more than 30 days.
