Order Your GCMS Notes with SJP Immigration Inc.

Track the progress of your Canadian immigration or visa application with Global Case Management System (GCMS) Records. These detailed records, provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), offer comprehensive insights into your application status, officer notes, and reasons for delays or refusals. Whether you're applying for a visitor visa, study permit, work permit, or permanent residence, GCMS Records help you stay informed and take control of your immigration journey.

Avoid any potential delays by following our simple step-by-step process. For a one-time payment of $100 USD, we only need three things from you:

1) Printing and signing the consent form in blue ink,

2) Providing a scanned copy of your passport bio page, and

3) Submitting your refusal letter, submission confirmation letter, or Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) containing your Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and application number of the application in question.

Why Order GCMS Records?

  • Address Refusal Reasons: If your application was refused with generic reasons like "Not convinced you will return to home country" or "Details provided are not consistent with a temporary stay," GCMS Records reveal the true reasons. Detailed officer notes may highlight specific issues, such as "Bank statements did not adequately show funds required based on itinerary of stay" or "Applicant mentioned they are eligible, but their income is not consistent with their total funds, and I have concerns with their ability to support themselves during their proposed stay." We always recommend obtaining a full copy of your application and officer notes to improve your reapplication.
  • Understand Your Application Status: See exactly where your application stands, including officer comments and processing details.
  • Identify Issues: Discover reasons for delays, refusals, or additional document requests.
  • Prepare for Next Steps: Gain insights to strengthen your application, prepare for interviews, or address refusals.
  • Access Your Records: Obtain copies of all documents and correspondence submitted to IRCC or CBSA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t I request GCMS Records myself?
To request GCMS Records under the Access to Information Act, you must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or an individual or corporation currently present in Canada. This can be challenging for overseas applicants who cannot prove they are in Canada. If you’re in Canada, you can request independently, but using a representative like SJP Immigration Inc. helps you understand where to find relevant information in your records and ensures accurate submission. For a flat $100 USD fee, we handle everything, saving you time and effort.
Where can I find my application number?
Your application number is listed on approved documents, such as your work permit, study permit, visitor record, or visa in your passport. It typically starts with a letter (e.g., V, W, S, E, or EP) followed by numbers. Check these documents or your IRCC Secure Account for details.
Where can I find my UCI?

Your Unique Client Identifier (UCI) is found on your work permit, study permit, visitor record, or Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) in your passport, labeled after "UCI:". It’s also available in your IRCC Secure Account or on your refusal letter.

I was refused and never received a permit or record. Where can I find my UCI and application number?

In your IRCC Secure Account or on your refusal letter, both your Unique Client Identifier (UCI) and application number are indicated. You can also check your submission confirmation letter or Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) if available.

Why is a blue ink signature required for the consent form?

IRCC requires the Consent Form (IMM 5744) to be signed in blue ink to verify it’s an original signature, as black ink or electronic signatures may be mistaken for photocopies. This helps avoid delays in processing your GCMS Records request.

How do GCMS Records differ from updates in my IRCC account?

GCMS Records provide detailed officer notes, a full copy of your application, and insights into IRCC’s decision-making process, which are not available in your IRCC Secure Account. They reveal specific reasons for refusals or delays, unlike the generic updates in your account.

Is my personal information secure with SJP Immigration Inc.?

Yes, we handle your information in compliance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). All documents, including your passport bio page and consent form, are securely stored and only used for your GCMS Records request.

Are the follow-up recommendations binding?

No, our personalized recommendations are advisory, based on the GCMS Records and our expertise as RCICs. They highlight key areas of concern and suggest improvements, but you’re not obligated to follow them. You can use them to strengthen your reapplication or consult further with us.

What if IRCC or CBSA delays my GCMS Records beyond 30 days?

IRCC/CBSA is legally obliged to respond within 30 days to proper ATIP requests, but extensions (up to 60 days) may occur due to high request volumes or complex cases. We’ll monitor your request and follow up with IRCC on your behalf, keeping you updated via email until you receive your records.
