1. What Is GCMS notes?
Global Case Management System(GCMS) is a software system currently used for processing immigration / visa applications by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada(IRCC).The GCMS notes are the only accurate way of providing a detailed record of an applicant’s file, correspondence from and to IRCC, documents received from the applicant, detailed notes from the officers reviewing the file at each stage, thus providing valuable information on the current status and future processing of your application for Canadian Visa cases such as Express Entry applications, tourist visas, Study and Work permits.
All government institutions subject to the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act publish an inventory of their information holdings as well as relevant details about personal information under their control. The following can assist you in making an access to information or personal information request, or in exercising your privacy rights. CBSA/CSIS notes are notes from the Canada Border service agency (CBSA) pertaining to your application.
Many applicants ask how fast they could receive GCMS notes after order is placed. Average processing time for GCMS notes is 30 days from the moment ATIP acknowledges request receipt. Given the fact that acknowledgement may come immediately, if for example, a request is placed during the weekend, we recommend to expect standard 40 days for your notes to come in.
When you order your GCMS notes and send us the signed consent form, we immediately send your request to the responsible authorities.
Since CBSA and CSIS only communicate via postal mail, it takes an average of 50 days after the request is filed to receive the information, unless an extension is sought by the agency.
Usually, GCMS notes are generated within a few days after the request is sent to ATIP. This means that the actual report could be prepared at any moment within standard 30 processing days.
However, there is no set date or time when GCMS notes will be extracted from the system. It could be just a few days from the date when request is received by IRCC or a few days prior to the moment when GCMS notes are sent to us. It is hard to predict at which moment notes would be generated.
In very rare cases the request could be delayed. For example, IRCC may need extra time to find them and prepare the report. In these unusual situations we receive a communication from ATIP, requiring an extension.
If your GCMS notes is delayed, we will communicate you and will start following up with the authorities on your behalf to minimize the extension time.

Most of the applicants are aware that the application status submitted to IRCC can be obtained via GCMS Notes. But, how to get (Provincial Nominee Program) application status? GCMS (Global Case Management System) is a tool used by immigration officers round the globe to process immigration and temporary visa cases such as Express Entry applications, tourist visas, Study and Work permits. One could request GCMS notes and always see what is going on with his or her case and how it is processed.

However Provincial Authorities doesn’t work on GCMS. Every Province and Territory of Canada has its own immigration program (PNP) and their own system for case management. If an applicant seeks to understand what is going on with the provincial immigration application, he or she has to send the request directly to the Province. However, the right to send such requests is not given to applicant residing outside Canada. It has to be done through a representative in Canada. That is where Thegcmsonline come into picture.

Our team assists individuals to file a case processing request to Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and any other Province or Territory of Canada. As a result, the request will return back with the provincial officer’s notes and case observations, essential information and, sometimes, processing time estimation.

Provincial application status retrieval is more complex process and requires more effort. It’s not a fairly simple process like ordering GCMS.
