Hello, my ecas status says my PR application has been transferred from the Buffalo VO to the NY VO as of November 16, 2011.
I definitely saw this as progress, as there was no physical sign of anything other than a change to "In Progress" on the initial ecas page back in January/February this year.

In any case, I requested CAIPS notes a few weeks back, pretty sure it was before November 16 and received the CAIPS notes last week with a date time stamp of Nov. 23, 2011. A few questions I'm hoping others may be able to help me with:

1. Is there a specific order to the CAIPS notes? It looks as if my CAIPS notes is 4 pages, front and back, of screen prints from a mainframe, DOS window or something.

2. My CAIPS notes say: Paper file sent to PA -- File BFD to PPS on 01-02-2012
Is the BFD date normally accurate or is that like a "this is the latest date" an immigration officer will look at this?

3. eCase says my PR app was transferred to NY VO Nov 16. Should there also be a line on CAIPS notes stating that? I see a similar line here that says "FILE TRANSFERRED TO BUFFALO"

4. Has anyone ever requested CAIPS notes multiple times? Is that a standard practice for anyone else awaiting anxiously like I am?

5. From my CAIPS notes, it looks like I initially applied under FSW2, but from the notes, it says my NOC Code 2171 was ineligible for processing as per the Minister's Instructions. The next note then says "Sufficient Evidence has NOT been provided for SW2", but they assessed that I was eligible for FSW3. Would this insufficient evidence for FSW2 only be related to arranged employment? If this is the case, I'm worried this may affect my point assessment and the immigration officer will not see that I am currently employed as a permanent full-time employee. I believe I sent them my employment offer, salary, work history from my company's records.

Any help with any of the above queries would be of great assistance. Much appreciated!
 
Can anyone help me with any of the questions above?
 
You can order CAIPS multiple times. no harm doing it.
Qorax says that you should not order not before 6 months from the 1st time you had ordered it.
you got CAIPS or GCMS?

your VO will look into your file once again in 01-02-2012
he could look into it at an earlier time as well.
you're lucky that its not in MICROLOCATOR which is considered to be a Freezer.

Fine with the transfer to Buffalo. no worries. if you have shown more than $30-40K as PoF, nothing to worry about now. how much have you shown as PoF?

I have arranged employment, that is I am actually currently working full-time at one of the big financial institutions here in Toronto, so I read that with arranged employment and a current job here in Canada, that would suffice for proof of funds.

That's actually what I was also looking for. Since my category is FSW3, will the arranged employment be considered sufficient for proof of funds?
