If your immigration application has been rejected or delayed, or if you want to know the exact status of your file, one of the best solutions is to request GCMS Notes (Global Case Management System Notes) from IRCC.

GCMS Notes contain all the information about your immigration file, including officer's notes, reasons for delays, and the current status of your application.

  • Complete file status and processing timeline

  • Reasons for delays or rejections
  • All documents received and reviewed
  • Internal communications about your file
  • Security and background check status
