⚠️ In recent times, IRCC has not been consistent with GCMS Notes delivery timeline. Some GCMS Notes are received within the anticipated timeline, while others could take up to 90-180 days. We have no way of knowing why IRCC processes some requests faster than others and IRCC does not provide anyone with the opportunity to see the real-time status of a request.
⏳ By continuing to place an order, you are confirming that you understand that any delay with receiving your GCMS Notes is outside our control, and you are willing to wait patiently for the delivery of your GCMS Notes. Rest assured that you will receive delivery of your GCMS Notes from us once we receive it from IRCC.
April 2023 Update: IRCC is currently on strike resulting in longer processing times for Access to Information Act requests.
March 2022 Update: We understand that IRCC is currently prioritizing application processing for Afghans and Ukrainians.
✅ If you already ordered GCMS Notes through us, rest assured that we are doing everything possible to get your GCMS Notes from IRCC. Due to the fact that we have several GCMS Notes outstanding, we will not continue replying to individual follow-ups as we do not have the capacity to and we will basically be re-stating that we have not yet received your notes from IRCC.
We will send your GCMS notes to you immediately after we receive it from IRCC. Thanks for your understanding, patience and anticipated cooperation!
📣 Order GCMS NOTES Online from IRCC
This is an Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Online Request for your GCMS (Global Case Management System) Notes from Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada – IRCC (formerly CIC). GCMS Notes provides you with detailed information on the Canadian visa officer’s notes.
There are several benefits of requesting your GCMS Notes, a few are:
→ Find out Reasons for Refusal:
See the actual reason(s) why your Canada visa and/or immigration application was refused.
→ Check your Application Status:
Is your Canada visa and/or immigration application (e.g. Express Entry) taking longer than usual? With your GCMS Notes, you will see what is going on with your file and which Canadian immigration officer/department is working on it.
→ Obtain your Application Document Copies:
Did you lose your application documents? Do you want to re-apply/renew your Canada visa and cannot remember what documents you submitted to IRCC? It is important that there is consistency in all your applications to prevent refusal. Through the “GCMS Notes + Documents” request, you’ll get all the documents you used for a previous Canadian visa/immigration application.
… and many more!

It consists of one letter alphabet and several numbers e.g. V123456789.
- Your UCI / Client ID (Optional, but please provide if available):
Although not mandatory, it is recommended that you provide your UCI / Client ID, as this will help IRCC facilitate the processing of your request.

Your Client ID consists of either eight or ten numbers. e.g. 1234-5678 or 12-3456-7891

For PR application, also indicate whether you have received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) or you are only in the Express Entry pool.
You may also include a copy of your Canada visa/immigration refusal letter in the email you send to us. We will use this to double-check the information you provide us, thereby preventing any errors.

GCMS Notes received. Thank you.
Kunal –
I came across your site when surfing the web and placed an order online for my GCMS Notes. I was initially expecting that there will be a delay by IRCC due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. To my surprise, my GCMS Notes was delivered to me by CanadaWiz Team 23 days after my order was submitted. Well done, I will recommend your service to anyone I know that wants to order Canada GCMS Notes.

I ordered GCMS notes from their site for my Canada express entry. They responded via email with an estimated date of when I should expect to receive the notes and I received delivery sooner than expected. I am satisfied with their service and recommend them.
Yashwinder Tungal –
Can anyone tell me what’s the difference between both options . Actually I need to get my file status ‘ spouse open work permit ‘ applied last year but didn’t get any information. So pls suggest
CanadaWiz.ca –
Hello Yashwinder,
Given that this is a question, it should not have been added to this review section on this page.
Anyways, the difference between both options are:
1) GCMS Notes: You will receive the GCMS electronic case notes of your application from IRCC.
2) GCMS Notes + Documents: You will receive both your application GCMS electronic case notes from IRCC and also the documents, forms, and correspondences sent to and/or from IRCC.
Being that what you need is to get the file status of your spouse open work permit, ordering only “GCMS Notes” will be sufficient for you needs.
I can see that you have already placed an order here for GCMS Notes. All good!
Shahzaib Arif –

Thanks for your patience!
Nasif H –
I ordered GCMS notes on the 17th of January and it’s been 8 months since then and I still not have received them. I have sent the support team emails on three different occasions and all I got was a generic, automated email saying that it’s just ‘processing’. It’s outrageous that I went with this service and I really unhappy about it. My plans have been on hold for so long just because CanadaWiz couldn’t get back to me even though it’s been more than 8 months! Bad experience throughout!
CanadaWiz Team –
Nasif,
I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t received your GCMS notes yet. We generally advise our customers that the delivery timeline is out of our control, as this is based solely on IRCC. I understand how frustrating it can be to wait for your GCMS Notes. I have reached out to our GCMS Notes team to get in touch with you. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we thank you for your patience.
Anita –
I ordered my notes on the 23rd of August, it’s a month already yet no confirmation or correspondence email of any sort.
Kapeesh Kaul –
I ordered my notes on the 7th of September, it’s been 2 months already yet no communication from canadawiz except for automated replies.
Anita –
Terrible service, terrible customer service….almost 3 months since I ordered my gcsm notes. Not even a single response or confirmation of payment from the day I made my order till date. I would have given triple zero stars if not for the restrictions. I honestly regret using this company.
Gagandeep –
I have applied my gcms notes from September 2021. But i haven’t received my notes yet. Worst service ever. Even they are communicating properly for any update or queries.
Surangi –
I ordered GCMS notes on the 28th of April and it’s been 4 months since then and I still not have received them. I have sent the support team emails on three different occasions and all I got was a generic, automated email saying that it’s just ‘processing’. I have faced several problems when applying other counties due to this delay. Please kindly attend with this regard soon.
Adejumoke –
I ordered GCMS notes in June 2023, and it’s been 8 months since then, and I still have not received them. I have sent the support team emails on three different occasions, and all I got was a generic, automated email saying that it’s just ‘processing.’ It’s outrageous that I went with this service, and I am unhappy about it. My plans have been on hold for so long just because CanadaWiz couldn’t get back to me even though it’s been more than 8 months! It was a bad experience throughout, with too many rude generic responses. I will get across to my bank and report them as fraud.
