Refusal of a Temporary Resident Visa - TRV (visitor, study, or work visas) could be extremely frustrating. However, quite often with well-prepared second submission, a TRV could be granted even after a previous refusal. Therefore, if your application have being refused, it is extremely important to order GCMS notes (formerly known as CAIPS), in order to understand the reasons behind a refusal for developing a resubmission strategy.
What are GCMS notes?
The GCMS (Global Case Management System) is a centralized system used by IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada) and CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) to track all temporary (visitor, study, or work visas) and permanent immigration, and citizenship applications. Each application recorded in the GCMS system will contain, for example, the correspondence from and to IRCC, the detailed notes/comments of immigration officers have reviewed the application, all the applicant's supporting documents, etc. Having access to your GCMS notes is the only way to have an accurate view of the status of your file or to understand the reason behind a refusal.
