Hi

The officer was not satisfied by my work foreign experience
I have a canadian child, and my wife(5) has a BSc degree(3), so i got 8 points for adaptability
So they awarded you 8 points for adaptability, I thought you said at first they didn't award you any points for that!

Hello friends! :)

Just a quick question for those who have received passport request - how long do they give you to send them passports? I may have to get new passports for my kids and need to plan accordingly.

Thanks in advance...

60 days, they are giving 60 days to everybody I know. They used to give 90 days but they changed to 60 now, I don't know why.

Update: I'm back from Mexico, I sent my passport yesterday. Also I got CAIPS for the first time. I only ordered them once because I had the "decision made" in my ECAS but took them weeks to contacted me. I haven't really look at my CAIPS since there are 38 pages and I wasn't that interested anymore cause I got passport request before that. I was only curious about my points, they gave me 77points. I got the exact same points that S_Govind:
Age: 10,
Work Experience (4 years): 21 (they didn't count some of my other years of experience because of not matching duties with NOC, but 4 years was good enough)
Education: 25
Language: 16
Adaptability: 5 (Canadian masters)
Asbereth, I was really mad when I heard what that Visa agent did to you when you were doing landing. Is there any way you can complain or send a letter explaining what happen to you? What that agent did was completely wrong!! She had not right to tell you TA/RA is not a job, and make you go through another "mini" process there. I'm sure this was only bad luck with a bad agent. I was pretty upset and wanted to go tell that agent a few things :)

Hahaha, even if they gave you them in CIO level, Ottawa will take them off again!
CIO didn't gave me any adaptability points at all!

:D agree
from the CAIPS, the CIO didn't do anything, they just make sure that the application kit is full!
