Hi Rocky,

I myself was thinking of ordering caips, but have decided to wait till end Jan to do so. If it is a question of quota, it may get resolved by then. I believe you can order caips through a number of agencies (caips.ca, caipsnotes.com etc) or you can ask a canadian citizen to request it on your behalf by providing the appropriate signed forms.

I will opt for Canadian Citizen. I think that there is not Quota right now since people of Same NOC applying afterwards are getting Faster processing

I got this off another forum, how to apply through a citizen (need to verify):

Go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563B.pdf
Fill the form and check the box for CAIPS notes request
Provide a photocopy of your valid permit in Canada (person requesting for you)
Attach a cheque payable to " Receiver Genral of Canada" for 5 dollars.
Write a cover letter and send to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (need to verify full address)

Its 40 dollars through an agency and just 5 (or possibly even free) through a citizen.

Dear Rocky,

It takes 4-6 weeks to get the CAIPS Notes. And sure not less than 4 weeks. I'd applied twice. In 2008 it took 4 weeks+. Now I again applied last month, it has not yet come, it's over 5 weeks since. I ask my consultant for it. It comes Free to me.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Rocky.

I would like to ask, is it true that when you order caips from inside Canada then it is free and how long does it take for folks inside Canada to get it?

I myself do not know searched on google about it so its I think max $ 5 CAD for PR or citizens applying on your behalf and max time 4 to 6 weeks

My opinion is, going for CAIPS at this early stage is not going to help any way. I landed in Canada on family class sponsorship. My normal processing time was shown in the AOR letter as 6 months. But even after 14 months ECAS was "IN PROCESS" and no reply for several enquiries by fax and e mail. In fact I was not in a hurry to land in Canada as I was still working in Middle East and also used to visit Canada during the process. Then after 14 months I requested CAIPS through my sponsor paying CAD 5/- and got it within a month. From the CAIPS I could understand that my file was pending for BC, perhaps may be due to several out country travels. No other useful information I got from it.

I agree that CAIPS notes are very helpful when anything abnormal like : delay in reply, lack of updates, taking long time in processing.! It is also helpful when you are selected for the interview. You can know the probable cause of interview requirement by obtaining the CAIPS notes.

Tell me one thing, I am not a frequent traveler outside my country only been to UK twice and Have Aus student visa now expired for which I never went and a US b1/b2 visa. Could this be a reason of delay in my background check since its been 1 month waiting for meds and PPR under fast track

Hi,

I think probably that could be the cause. The delay in getting feed back from other agencies related to BC are also to be considered for any 'unusual delay' in process of PR application. Nothing can be done except waiting.
