Where do I get CAIPS Notes?

[ddobro2]

I know. The fact that you're already "in process" is a good sign though. You should check out the Cairo thread (even though the file got transferred).

Thank you for your reply that helps. I live in ottawa and my husband file has been transfered to the ottawa pilot as of dec 9th. I guess i will wait a bit longer, its just so frustrating

Can I choose to receive the notes via email or there might a risk of having a file larger an 25 pages?

I know it says, `smaller files only - under 25 pages` but I actually last received an attachment of GCMS notes that was 27 pages. If you`re concerned, you can always check off both and add a note, I suppose.

Thanks for this. Is there a difference between CAIPS and GCMS?  what kind of notes these look like as you have received them before??

GCMS replaced CAIPS as the computer system. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/where-do-i-get-caips-notes-t11124.0.html;msg1219566#msg1219566

I'm a bit confused as to why your app was transferred to Canada if you applied outland to Cairo? I've never heard of such practice existing at CIC

The Ottawa office is a pilot office that seems to be mostly charged with processing files that won appeal at the IAD but also appears to be taking on currently-processing files from other VOs, such as Cairo: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob305.asp
