Hey everyone! I am trying to make a new spreadsheet to record processing time frames for 2011-2013 applicants still left in the system.

Here is my idea

I have created a form:


Which links to this spreadsheet:

What do you think?

I have not worked out  how to update people's entries. But most 2011-2012 have done their tests. They can let me know when they get their oaths
Applied: June 2012
Processing: December 2012
RQ and Test: December 2013
(Reason for RQ: unknown)
Oath: May 2015

If you are asking for data about yourself (or your dependants), then ask for it for free.

The contents will be the same as long as the request is the same.

Thanks ski.

Thanks for all the information. 

I just sent an ATIP Request to CIC for my citizenship application. It shows that will be processed within 30 calendar days from the date of receipt. I chose the free one. Just wondering what is the difference between the free one and the $5.00 one? Will receive the same information on my file?

Thank you.

Thanks for the clarification. That is good to know Smile. I was thinking the same thing but wanted to ensure everything requested by the form was provided to prevent any issues. At least now I can do that going forward.

Hi all

An ATIP request to CIC (GCMS notes) requires proof that one is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. For the latter, can the "Confirmation of Permanent Residence" (IMM 5688) document duly signed and dated upon completing the landing procedure be used as proof in lieu of a Permanent Residence Card?  



I am not sure I understand your questions. I never needed to submit a copy of any documents when making requests for GCMS notes via ATIP. Has the procedure changed recently?


At the link: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en, under the Top questions - "What do I need to submit a request online?" it notes that the following proof needs to be submitted online: "A proof of your status as a permanent resident, such as a copy of your permanent resident card". My query related to using the scanned signed COPR instead of a scanned PR card.

Have you requested using this system, not provided any proof and still got a response?

Is there no one who has any experience with or insight into a customized request that would obtain information/documentation beyond the GCMS query-based report and physical files?
Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.



BTW: Not an expert, not a Can. lawyer, never worked in immigration
