GCMS & CAIPS Notes with CBSA and IRCC

For applicants who want to know the status of their submitted file or reasons for rejection as soon as possible.  Notes will be applied via CBSA and IRCC, at the same time. Both agencies have varying timelines, sometimes CBSA is faster and sometimes IRCC is faster in processing of notes. In rare circumstances, notes might get delayed by both of them.

Includes:

• Officer notes
• Rejection reasons
• Status of your file
• where your file is being processed

The ATIP Department of IRCC in Canada is required to respond to the CAIPS/GCMS request within 30 working days. However, it takes longer if ATIP officers have to collect information from overseas offices. Please note that in rare circumstances they may request an extension of up to 30 days.
