Dear Mr. Naeem:
This is in response to your email of August 19, 2010, addressed to the Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, concerning the flood in Pakistan and family sponsorship application timelines. I apologize for the delay in replying.
I appreciate the Pakistani community’s concerns about their families’ safety and well being in Pakistan. I would like to assure you that Citizenship and Immigration Canada is aware of the unfolding crisis, and is monitoring the situation carefully. There is regular communication and daily reports sent to our National Headquarters by our mission’s manager. Our visa office in Islamabad is open and operating normally.
With regard to expedited processing of Family Class applications, I would like to explain that our visa officers have sufficient discretion under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to respond in a flexible and humane manner to emergency situations. It is the client’s responsibility, however, to demonstrate to the visa officials, with proper documentation, that they have been personally and directly affected by the situation. Where required, an interview may also be held. A decision is made after consideration of all factors.
If you or members of your community are in contact with family members in Pakistan who are directly affected by the flooding, you may wish to encourage them to contact the visa office, explain how they are personally affected by the flooding, and request expedited processing. I can assure you that visa officials will extend every consideration to their circumstances.
Thank you for taking the time to write and express your concern. I trust that the information provided is of assistance.

here you go sister hope this helps.
CAIPS will only be issued to you if you are living in Canada. Otherwise, you have to have them released to someone living in Canada. For that, you need to ensure you sign and submit the proper authorizations.
CAIPS request form is at the link javcil provided.
"Authority to Release Personal Information" http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5475E.pdf form. Include it with the "Access to Information Request" form.
Send both of these forms and a cheque for $5 payable to the Receiver General of Canada to:
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator

Salam one 2 ka 4 brother. I need your advice basically Iam sponsoring my wife and isl started processing in nov 2009 and now its been 10 months and still my wife has not got the request for ppr. Can you pls let me know since you know how the visa office operates. I had sent updated pcc, remedical and imm forms with supp form in the end of aug 2010. I just need alittle asurance that this is the last part of the process and if background checks are underway iam fine with that. I just want to know do they usually ask for anything else after this once submitted or all is left is for background checks. From other members on this forum I noticed most people they are doing background checks after submitting remdical and extra documents so is it the same for mine too. Your advice and experience in this please brother. thanks and may allah help us to be reunited with our loved ones.
Jaweda, base on VISA officers turnaround time I can assure you that you will receive the PPR request by Oct 21 could be any day, however please keep in mind that If background check is going to take long time I mean if it is not done in Oct than you can expect an other 2 month to receive PPR request. But I am hoping it will be completed prior to Oct 21. Insha Allah.
At this point applications batch of Sep-Nov and partially Dec files are inthe process of finaliazing. So next bacth will be Partially Dec and Jan-Feb application and next bact is going to be started at the end of Oct OR 1st week of Nov Insha Allah.

Go to this thread that I posted and read the whole thing. You just have to fill out couple of forms and send a $5 check and mail the application. Your lawyer is ripping you off, and you might want to stay away from him/her. Just a tip!lostsoul27 said:

Mariah sister, unfortunately your case could be in the catagorey of "80% cases processed in 14 month".
To me look like something wrong with the file I am sure that you must have done the inquiry what exactly did they tell you, let me know plz.

I see so "back ground check" typical word they use for every one.If this the case than who know what exactly they are doing.

My wife is in LHR so cann't advice her to do so.
Cheers
