Hello Every one

I had applied for CAIPS on 26Oct12 through a friend in Canada, fee paid online attached the copy of fee paid receipt and all related forms i.e. (IMM5475E for Self & Spouse) AND ( IMM5563E ). Still waiting for the reply. Please give me advice what should I do? The friend mailed the letter on following address:

Access to Information and Privacy Division
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1L1

Can I send an e-mail at " atip-aiprp @ cic.gc.ca " and ask or friend of mine can only ask.

Tks & Brgds to all
BAQAR

Hi!

You better wait for few more days, another week or so as the normal time to receive is 30 days but some times it takes a little longer and if you want to enquire ask your friend to send an email and include all details like your file no, full name, date applied. Thanks
 
please help me how to fill imm5563?
it is confusing, I applied for student visa an dgot a refusal, i hv some questions.
1. What are electronic files?
2. What are physical files?
3. Difference between both files?
4. I have applied for Student Visa and got a refusal, what should I mark? Electronic or physical?
5. What else to tick?

I will be really grateful.

Hi!

Tick electronic files then status of application then file no and location (location is location of your visa office)

Electronic files are easier and faster to obtain so go for this option.

see secton B- information requested

To obtain the status of a file, the electronic files may be sufficient. Requests for electronic files can be processed more quickly than requests for physical files
 
Hi Cocknbull,

Is there a difference between ECU and ECD?
 
@cocknbull
i read GCMS of 7 MI3 applicants (without 2nd line) and their due date was in November but none of them received any updates.
it means another due date without any updates???

@engineerbro IMO due dates in GCMS are not of much relevance, files can be opened on, after or before due dates. Due dates in GCMS are diff than BF'd in CAIPS

Hi!

By due date do you mean BFD or due date for medicals,criminality or eligibility etc? If you are talking about due date in eligibility, medicals etc then due date there is just an approximate date after one year when you have received your PER/AOR. As said by Jaggy these due dates are not much of any relevance and there is no surety your case will be processed by that date.

I tell you from my experience that according to latest time lines published on CIC website, time line for post June applicants from London visa office is 17 months,

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/skilled-fed.asp

so keep in mind of at least 17 months and if they are taking long time in issuing medicals then they will take less time to issue passport request so total time would be around 17 months, same thing happened in my case that they kept me in process for long but after medicals every thing finished very soon..good luck to you and all...
