It's called an ATIP request. The primary applicant (your father?) can apply for it online.Can u reply plz . I m waiting ur ans.
Its basically a copy of your application file with CIC that has all the officer notes, details on when different checks started/ completed etc.
The most important things are basically officer notes. Every time an officer looks at your file, they add notes. Those would give you some idea of what has happened with your file so far. During the ATIP request, they will ask for an email and will send it to you via email (takes about 30 days).
