ATIP (GCMS) Notes
If you’ve submitted an application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and are unsure about its progress or outcome, requesting ATIP (Access to Information and Privacy) – GCMS Notes can be a valuable tool. These detailed internal notes provide insight into how IRCC officers are assessing your case and whether any concerns or delays have been flagged.
GCMS (Global Case Management System) is the centralized system used by IRCC to manage all immigration and citizenship applications. By filing an ATIP request, you gain access to your full file history, including application processing steps, officer comments, decision rationale, and supporting documentation status.
This service is especially helpful for individuals with:
- Delayed applications
- Previous refusals (e.g., study permit, visitor visa, PR)
- Complex or sensitive cases
- Ongoing sponsorship or work permit files
Requesting your GCMS notes can help you prepare a stronger reapplication, respond to procedural fairness letters, or simply gain peace of mind about your application’s current status. While anyone can submit an ATIP request, navigating the system and interpreting the notes can be difficult without professional help. That’s where RightWay Canada steps in. Our immigration consultants assist with filing a correct and complete request, ensuring you receive accurate GCMS notes in a timely manner. More importantly, we help you understand what they mean and how they impact your case.
This service is particularly relevant to individuals who reside outside Canada and need to designate a representative to request the information on their behalf, or those dealing with tight timelines on reapplication or appeal strategies.
