it's been 5 months since we finished our medical exam. yesterday i asked the  LA consulate for the status of our application and was told that it is still under review.

under review for 5 months...do you think it's wise to request for CAIPS notes now? i heard it takes a month to receive it even if the person who requested is in Canada, is that true?

Fair enough, but what use is the CAIPS note to an applicant who has not been requested for any documents update (old applicants)?
I mean, I have enough relatives down there to get the CAIPS Note, but I just don't know  of what use it can be for someone who has just sent in a basic form of application and received an AOR ever since the application was placed (over 3Years).

What Is 'CAIPS'?

CAIPS is short for 'Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System'. It is the computer system used by Citizenship & Immigration Canada to process visa applications, and holds all the information on the current status of every immigration application being processed by overseas offices (i.e. those outside of Canada).

Why Is This Interesting?
If you are not applying for a Canadian visa, then caips notes are of no interest to you! If you have applied to emigrate to Canada with a PR visa - as a skilled worker, business applicant/investor or as a spouse or other family member of someone already in Canada - then, with our help, you can obtain a copy of your CAIPS report and find out what has happened to your application so far, and get an indication of what will happen next with your file, and when. For more detailed information on what is in CAIPSnotes, see our sample CAIPSfiles. The system also holds information on work permits, study permits and visitor visas, and we can also apply for these reports on your behalf.  

Should I Get My File?
There are many situations where you may want to get your CAIPS file. If you have been asked to attend an interview, then you should definitely get your notes to find out why the interview was requested, so that you can be well prepared for the interview. Any reputable immigration consultant would request the client's notes in this circumstance.

Also, if you feel that your application is taking longer than usual, or you have not heard anything from the visa office for a surprisingly long time, then you should consider getting your CAIPS notes to check that your application is on track. We have often tracked unexplained delays down to missing letters or documents which have been highlighted as soon as the file is obtained. For example, CIC may have written to an applicant requesting additional references, educational transcripts or language tests.

Finally if you have any other worry about your application status or progress, or are just generally curious as to what has happened so far, then you can get your CAIPSnotes to put your mind at rest.


Sample CAIPS File
The format of the CAIPS file you will receive is a 'screen print'. CAIPS is an old fashioned terminal based program. The information is (unfortunately) not designed for reading on paper.

You will receive approximately 7 pages (more if there are long notes, or many dependents) representing many screen prints from the CAIPS computer system. Some examples are included below.  

Bring Forward Date
The 'bring forward' date is repeated in several places in the CAIPS printout you will receive (as it appears at the bottom of many screens). The typical form is as follows.  

PAPER FILE SENT TO  PA  FILE BF'D TO: CPT ON 15-01-2006

 

This example above, from the Canadian High Commission London, means that the file is currently in the storage area "PA". The next action is allocation of an interview date "CPT". A program assistant will be prompted to allocate the interview date on "15-01-2005" (note this is dd-mm-yyyy format, so this means 15-Jan-2005). On this date the visa office will open the interview diary and schedule an interview.  


Immigration Assessment Record Summary
The 'Immigration Assessment Record Summary' holds two primary useful sets of information - the visa office's points computation, and the status of each of the 7 stages of issuing a visa. An example is as follows :-

We occasionally discover processing errors in the documents screen. We have seen applications on hold for several months while the visa office waits for documents that have either been sent already, not requested, or their non-existence explained in a letter that does not seem to have been received, or maybe not read fully, by the visa officer.

Fair enough, but what use is the CAIPS note to an applicant who has not been requested for any documents update (old applicants)?
I mean, I have enough relatives down there to get the CAIPS Note, but I just don't know  of what use it can be for someone who has just sent in a basic form of application and received an AOR ever since the application was placed (over 3Years).

Bobbyb

Bobby,

It might still be useful for u -- One, u'd know if any work was done (or is being done) on your file, 'coz 3yrs is a pretty long time; Two, u'd know your next BF'D &/or the trail of the BF'Ds; Three, u'd see if your VO has placed any notes (very imp. for older cases - as the file might just be lying low for some other party's response/s); AND Four, based on the CAIPS u maybe able to question your VO -- if nothing else, that might unsettle the dust... & take some speed.

God Speed Buddy !

Bobby,

It might still be useful for u -- One, u'd know if any work was done (or is being done) on your file, 'coz 3yrs is a pretty long time; Two, u'd know your next BF'D &/or the trail of the BF'Ds; Three, u'd see if your VO has placed any notes (very imp. for older cases - as the file might just be lying low for some other party's response/s); AND Four, based on the CAIPS u maybe able to question your VO -- if nothing else, that might unsettle the dust... & take some speed.

God Speed Buddy !
