Hi all, what is CAIPS?
Sorry.. if you guys think it's a dumb question. I am new in this forum. I joined 2 days a go to get some information about study permit in Canada.
CAIPS is an acronym for Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System. It is the computer system used by Citizenship and Immigration Canada for application processing outside Canada.
This is applied by study permit applicants, after their refusals. This is done to know the exact reasons for refusal, since in the refusal letter, a few points are ticked (which hide a wide range of things in it).
Here is an example of Caips notes, received by an applicant;
24year old single male from Gujrat seeking to pursue 2year post graduate in health care leadership. PA graduate from bachelor of nursing in July 2015 and has been employed in the workforce since September 2015. Does not appear logical to leave paid employment to pursue further studies at this time given the great expense. I further note that while he passed his IELTS, he scored 5.5 in writing and he passed his previous studies mostly in secound class, with many courses below 60% average. Give this, I have concerns with PA ability to be sucessful in future studies. Previous refusal and SOP considered. Based on the above, on balance, I am not satisfied that proposed studies are reasonable in light of qualifications/educational background. I am not satisfied this applicant is bona fide student. Weighing the information on hand in this specific case , the application failed to establish that they are a bona fide temporary resident who will leave Canada following the completion of thier studies pursuant to section R216(1)(b) of IRPA. Refused .
