GCMS Notes – Understand Your IRCC File Refused or Delayed?
Get the Real Reason With GCMS Notes
If your visa or immigration application was refused, delayed, or stuck in process, the key to understanding why is often hidden in your GCMS notes—the internal records used by IRCC officers to assess your file.
At ImmiGreen, we help you request, read, and interpret your GCMS notes so you can make informed decisions, avoid repeat mistakes, and build stronger applications.
✅ What Are GCMS Notes?
GCMS (Global Case Management System) notes are:
The complete officer record of how your file was reviewed
Used for TRVs, study/work permits, PR applications, etc.
Often include refusal reasons, document reviews, and officer comments
Available through an ATIP request (Access to Information and Privacy)
🛠️ We Help You:
Request GCMS notes on your behalf if you’re outside Canada
Interpret refusal reasons and officer concerns
Pinpoint missing documents or inconsistencies in your file
Use the notes to build a stronger reapplication or appeal
Guide you on whether to file a reconsideration, reapply, or escalate
🔎 When Should You Request GCMS Notes?
After a refusal (TRV, study/work permit, PR)
If your file has been delayed without updates
Before reapplying, to understand what went wrong
If you suspect an error or oversight by IRCC
To check who submitted your application if it wasn’t you directly
⚠️ Common Misunderstandings:
GCMS notes are not automatically emailed with your refusal
Refusal letters are often generic—GCMS tells you the real reason
Notes take 30–40 days to arrive, so request them early
🛡 Why Use ImmiGreen?

Experienced with refusal trends by region and visa type
Can combine your notes with a strategy to rebuild your case
We also request full file copies, not just officer notes, when needed

Nastaran Kheirabi2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an incredible experience with Mehdi Nafisi. I had a previous refusal before he represented me with my application. He guided me through the entire process of applying for a study permit. When my application was refused again, he helped me challenge the decision and escalate the case to a judicial review with a prominent lawyer. Through his expertise and persistence, the matter was settled outside of court. We were able to overturn the refusal and get my Study Permit application approved. During this time, Mehdi ensured that everything went smoothly. He helped me stay in touch with my college, secure a new letter of admission, and made sure all the necessary steps were taken seamlessly. His attention to detail, dedication, and clear communication made all the difference. I would highly recommend him for his exceptional support and expertise.

He helped us obtain my brother's visitor visa and work permit, even though my brother's situation was a bit complicated. Throughout the process, he was professional, transparent, and thorough. We didn't need to provide extra documents or answer additional questions because he prepared everything clearly, leaving no concerns for the immigration officer. A friend who had a great experience with him recommended him to us, and we're glad she did. I highly recommend him— he listens carefully and offers the best solutions to any concerns."
