1. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp There is no charge if you are in Canada.
2. No, since you are applying to CIC for your CAIPS/GCMS notes.
3. If you applied in Aug/11 there will be nothing in your CAIPS/GCMS notes as the application has not been entered into processing.

Based on the inputs you provided, for now, you just need to wait for a message from CIC

You can apply, it does not affect processing. But if nothing has happened yet with your file, there won't be much to see.

No - you should select CAIPS and/or GCMS only - these are fast and easy, just printouts of your computerized record.

If you select "visa file", that means they will actually request that the visa office pulls your file and makes photocopies - that can take a long time and may cause a delay in the processing of your application

FOSS is just for family-class applicants in Canada...

This information IS in the instructions attached to the form...
