Did you know that…
Since July 29, 2025, IRCC has been including the officer’s decision notes with refusal letters for visitor visas, study permits, work permits, and visitor records.
This means applicants no longer need to request GCMS notes separately, the details come automatically with the refusal.
The goal is to help applicants clearly understand the reason for refusal and prepare stronger reapplications.
NB: This does not apply to applications submitted through the new IRCC portal.
