Hi,

There is no FAX number to submit the documents ...only post or email provision.

Yes, you can check both email and hard copy.......hard copy will not be send if you receive an Email version.

Just providing other information for prospective seekers of CAIPS/GCMS
If you are living in Canada you can order your CAIPS notes or on behalf of someone else for $5 under the Privacy Act.

if i check the e mail on the box, does it mean i can receive file in 30 days?

The usual time they take is 30+ days...irrespective of any box you click on.

Thank you very much!!!!! one more question, what is the Visa file (information abroad) (includes CAIPS/GCMS) ? useless ? some guys said DO NOT check any other boxes in this section. Especially the "OVERSEAS VISA FILE" box. If you do this, they will pull your file aside, photocopy everything and send it to you.
It will not only take you forever to get the information, but they will also take your file out of the queue to process your request and therefore it will take LONGER !!! (CAIPS is just a computer printout of all the work done on your file so far. It will not affect the speed at which your visa office)

is that true ?
 
opinion

hi,
what do u think of chances of getting VISA, if CIC asks for clarifications on certain concerns n how much time do they take to give
their final verdict. actually there were certain things mismatched between me n my wife during telephonic interview. for the past 2 months after
submitting our clarification we are waiting for their decision.

ur expert advice pl.
