About OfficerNote.ca — Filed by a Licensed RCIC (R708675)
OfficerNote.ca is a Canadian service that obtains the records Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) hold about your application, and delivers them to you as a PDF. Every request placed through this site is filed under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act by a licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant who is named on your consent form, so that IRCC releases the records to a representative it recognises. This page tells you who that is, how to verify the licence yourself, how the service works, and what it is not.

One thing that register page will not show you: it lists the licence type as RCIC, not RCIC-IRB. The authorisation to represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board is published by the College in a separate list, where the entry reads "R708675 Morteza Idjadi BC Canada".[8] Both are linked here because checking only the profile would not confirm the "-IRB" part of the class above.
Why a licensed consultant matters for an access request: the Access to Information Act allows a person outside Canada without Canadian status to obtain IRCC records only through a representative who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, acting with the applicant's written consent.[2] IRCC releases the records to the representative named on the consent form. When you order through OfficerNote.ca, that representative is a regulated professional whose identity, licence and conduct record are public, rather than an anonymous intermediary.
What does OfficerNote.ca do?
- Prepares the request. The description sent to IRCC's Access to Information and Privacy Division is written to return the complete record for your application, including all GCMS notes, assessments, correspondence and, for a complete-file order, documents.
- Prepares your consent. You receive IRCC's consent form (IMM 5744) pre-filled with the representative's details; you sign it and upload a scan in your dashboard. See the consent form explained.
- Files with IRCC or CBSA. The request is submitted the same business day a complete consent is received, and the statutory clock starts from that day.[3]
- Follows up. Extension notices, clarification requests and late files are handled with the ATIP Division on your behalf; each step is dated in your dashboard.
- Delivers the release. The records arrive as a PDF in your secure dashboard, with an email notification. Nothing is mailed to your address.
Prices are USD 19 for IRCC GCMS notes, USD 25 for CBSA records and USD 35 for the complete IRCC file; what each includes is set out on how much GCMS notes cost.
What is OfficerNote.ca not?
| OfficerNote.ca is | OfficerNote.ca is not |
|---|---|
| A private Canadian service that files access-to-information requests as your designated representative | Part of, or affiliated with, the Government of Canada, IRCC or CBSA |
| A way to obtain the records the government already holds about you | A way to change, expedite or influence the outcome of an immigration application |
| Operated under the supervision of a licensed RCIC who is accountable to the CICC | Legal advice or representation on your immigration application; an access request does not make the consultant your representative before IRCC for that application |
| Transparent about timelines: IRCC has 30 days to respond and may extend that period[3] | Able to promise a delivery date IRCC has not committed to |
If, after reading your notes, you want advice on re-applying, responding to a procedural fairness letter or seeking judicial review, that is a separate professional engagement. You can request a consultation with the consultant directly, or take the file to any licensed consultant or lawyer of your choice; the release is yours.
How is your information handled?
- Your application details and signed consent are used only to prepare and file the access request with IRCC or CBSA and to deliver the release to you.
- The consent form authorises release of your records to the named representative for the purpose of the request; it does not appoint a representative on your immigration application.
- Records are delivered through your password-protected dashboard over an encrypted connection, not by email attachment.
- Payment is processed by a third-party card processor; card numbers are not stored by OfficerNote.ca.
- The full policy, including retention and your rights, is in the privacy policy. Licensed consultants are also bound by the CICC Code of Professional Conduct, which includes confidentiality obligations.[4]
How are the guides written and checked?
The guides on this site cite the governing statute, regulation, IRCC operational manual or official web page for each statement of law or procedure, with the sources listed at the end of every page. Guides are reviewed by the licensed consultant named above and carry a visible "last updated" date. When IRCC changes a rule, as it did in July 2025 and May 2026 by attaching officer decision notes to refusal letters, the affected pages are updated and the change is explained rather than left to go stale. If you find an error, write to us from your dashboard or the contact page; corrections are made and dated.

Frequently asked questions
Is OfficerNote.ca a legitimate service?
It is a private Canadian service, not a government website, and the requests it files are prepared under the supervision of Morteza Idjadi, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants, licence R708675.[1] You do not have to take that on trust: the College's register is open to the public, and the box above shows how to look the licence up yourself in under a minute. What the service does is ask IRCC or CBSA for records they already hold about you. It cannot change, speed up or influence a decision on an immigration application.
Is OfficerNote.ca part of IRCC or the Government of Canada?
No. It is not part of, or affiliated with, the Government of Canada, IRCC or CBSA. Nothing on this site is an official government service, and no fee paid here is a government fee.
Do I have to use a service at all?
No. A Privacy Act request for your own personal information carries no fee and can be made from any country;[6] an Access to Information Act request costs $5.[7] If you can file for yourself, filing for yourself is the cheapest route — see how much GCMS notes cost and the step-by-step guide to the ATIP online tool. A representative is worth paying for when you want the fuller record the Access to Information Act returns and cannot file under that Act from where you are,[2] or when you would rather someone else wrote the request and followed it up through the 30 days and any extension.[3]
How do I check that an immigration consultant is licensed?
Search the College's public register by last name or College ID.[1] IRCC's guidance is that a paid citizenship or immigration consultant "must be a member of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants", and a paid lawyer or notary a member of a Canadian provincial or territorial law society or the Chambre des notaires du Québec; if they are not members in good standing, "you should not use their services".[5] The register also shows the licence class and any disciplinary history.
Does ordering my notes through a representative affect my immigration application?
No. The consent form you sign (IMM 5744) authorises release of your records to the named representative for the purpose of the access request. It does not appoint a representative on your immigration application and is not filed with that application. See the consent form explained.
Who reviews the guides on this site?
Every guide is reviewed by the licensed consultant named above, carries a visible "last updated" date, and cites the statute, regulation or official IRCC page behind each statement of law or procedure. If you find an error, write in from your dashboard or the contact page; corrections are made and dated.
