Navigating the Canadian immigration system can be an overwhelming process for many applicants, particularly when delays or uncertainties arise during a visa application. One of the most effective tools to address these challenges is requesting GCMS (Global Case Management System) notes, which are detailed records maintained by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Previously referred to as CAIPS (Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System) notes, these records provide invaluable insights for applicants trying to understand their visa status or overcome obstacles. An essential aspect of using these tools effectively is understanding the CAIPS Notes Processing Time, which can help applicants plan their next steps with greater confidence.
