Thread for March 2011 Applicants!

[tulamoon]

Well... I phoned the number that I got off of a thread in this forum (I can't remember where it was but if you google "CAIPS notes" you'll find the link. Anyway... called the number to ask a couple of questions... found out that it's worth it to pay the $5.00 even if the applicant is in Canada because the backlog for the free one is 3-4 months. The lady I spoke to was VERY helpful and e-mailed me the credit card form and also gave me the e-mail address of where to send my CAIPS notes request.

I don't have the e-mail addy here at work but when I get home (in an hour or so) I will post exactly what she sent me.

Awesome thanks!

She was not telling the truth, I know for certain that three free sets of notes arrived recently (within 32 days).

Here is the message I got from the Coprorate affairs for CIC in Ottawa when she sent me my info for requesting our CAIPS notes:

"Following our conversation, here are the forms needed to make an access to information request. Once completed, please submit your request to atip-aiprp@cic.gc.ca."

Attached to the email was the credit card form for the $5.00 and also the form to fill out for the CAIPS notes. Since my husband is requesting it himself we did not need the form for him to authorize me to request them.

Anyway... that's the e-mail addy up there... I was pretty excited to be able to just e-mail the forms to them.

Edit: For some reason it's putting extra spaces in the e-mail address... you'll want to take them out when you send your e-mail.

Baloo... well that kinda sucks but oh well... I already sent the form away. It made me feel better to do it at the time... oh well lol. Just hope it goes fast.

Hey everyone....

I don't want to get everyone concerned but I would like to let you all know some information that came to my attention on an email from my MP AFTER we got the PPR yesterday....

My MP agreed to look into the status of our application for us as I had stated that people around us were getting their PPRs. He sent the inquiry to Buffalo and then to LA for us once we found out that it was there. In the response from LA they stated that they had sent an email to my husbands email address on June 30th. We were keeping an eye out for an email from Buffalo not from another visa office.

This would explain why his mailing address and email address were not updated when we sent the request to update the information.

Buffalo had been responding to our emails, once in June and then again in July when we requested a file number and then updating the information for hubs. Not until I sent an email on Aug 9th about the mailing address not having been updated did I hear back from Buffalo on Aug 11th that it was transferred to LA.

So now they are giving us 60 days from yesterday instead of June 30th in order to submit the passport thank god....because we were left with less than 10 business days from the original...

The thing that makes me the most upset about this whole situation is my husband could have driven to LA the first week in July and landed instead of coming up as a visitor when we did the trip in July....grrrrrrrrr.....
