When requesting
GCMS notes fee, applicants are required to pay a fee, typically around CAD 5 if requested directly through the Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) process by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. However, the fee can be higher if you use third-party services, which often charge an additional service fee for handling the request on your behalf.
The process for paying the fee is straightforward. If you’re using the ATIP process, the fee can be paid online through various payment methods. Third-party services usually handle the payment for you but will charge you a premium for their convenience. It's important to understand that once the fee is paid, your request will be processed by IRCC, which can take 30 days or longer. The length of time it takes to receive your notes can depend on factors like workload or the complexity of your application.
