Applications after 26/6 in any NOC CONNECT HERE TO GET THE STATUS

[Coffee]

Hi guys, just got into work. It is now minus 13C here in the UK (I think Scotland is minus 18C). Pipes on our shower in the loft had frozen solid so couldn't even take a shower.

Anyone got colder weather?

Guess it's good Canada-practice!

Wayne.

surprised, Wayne! that must be unusual for your place. we have better weather these days, only -5 (had -25 in early Dec), so heading towards steady winter temperatures I hope. we had quite 'warm' summer with smoke and fires, let's see if pendulum swings back to another extreme.

if you need advice for survival in cold temperatures, feel free to ask ;D

Hi Naija Paikin - It's likely a 2009 case as canadaforall had posted the message on 9 November 2010. Cheers.

Oh!, now I remember it was a false alarm we received sometime past.

 

[Cappuccino]

Yes, that was our first false alarm. There are 10 pages on this somewhere aroung 250 page no or so.

Yes that's correct. He put 7th Dec in error, it should have read 7th Nov. And it wasn't an AOR, it was just a request to submit the "Your Travels" IMM5562 form since the applicant had omitted it and it had slipped through the completeness test.

Wayne.

Dear bro Mortez

I can understand you are from Iran.... but your VO will be Damascus..... so please change the same. Thank you.
Did you send PCC along with your application??

Cheers, Anil

Dear Anil
I sent a copy of PCC which was translated.

 

[bregadier]

Kindly advise me what to do in the scenario stated below.
“ I completed all of my documents to apply for FSW program under the category 1122 but as soon as I received my IELTs result on 3rd Dec, I found that category closed. My total score is 76 including IELTs score and I have done my Engineering in Metallurgy and have 4 year experience in an Automobile industry as a Quality Engineer“

 

[kathe]

It is obvious that Application number is generated first. Then documents are checked based on which CC/BD charged and another number generated(UCI or file number). Then final eligibility check and sending of PER to candidate by generating another number. My curiosity is which is generated first UCI number of file number ? :'( Comments Please.

What Is 'CAIPS'?

CAIPS is short for 'Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System'. It is the computer system used by Citizenship & Immigration Canada to process visa applications, and holds all the information on the current status of every immigration application being processed by overseas offices (i.e. those outside of Canada).

Why Is This Interesting?
If you are not applying for a Canadian visa, then caips notes are of no interest to you! If you have applied to emigrate to Canada with a PR visa - as a skilled worker, business applicant/investor or as a spouse or other family member of someone already in Canada - then, with our help, you can obtain a copy of your CAIPS report and find out what has happened to your application so far, and get an indication of what will happen next with your file, and when. For more detailed information on what is in CAIPSnotes, see our sample CAIPSfiles. The system also holds information on work permits, study permits and visitor visas, and we can also apply for these reports on your behalf.

Should I Get My File?
There are many situations where you may want to get your CAIPS file. If you have been asked to attend an interview, then you should definitely get your notes to find out why the interview was requested, so that you can be well prepared for the interview. Any reputable immigration consultant would request the client's notes in this circumstance.

Also, if you feel that your application is taking longer than usual, or you have not heard anything from the visa office for a surprisingly long time, then you should consider getting your CAIPS notes to check that your application is on track. We have often tracked unexplained delays down to missing letters or documents which have been highlighted as soon as the file is obtained. For example, CIC may have written to an applicant requesting additional references, educational transcripts or language tests.

Finally if you have any other worry about your application status or progress, or are just generally curious as to what has happened so far, then you can get your CAIPSnotes to put your mind at rest.


Sample CAIPS File
The format of the CAIPS file you will receive is a 'screen print'. CAIPS is an old fashioned terminal based program. The information is (unfortunately) not designed for reading on paper.

You will receive approximately 7 pages (more if there are long notes, or many dependents) representing many screen prints from the CAIPS computer system. Some examples are included below.

Bring Forward Date
The 'bring forward' date is repeated in several places in the CAIPS printout you will receive (as it appears at the bottom of many screens). The typical form is as follows.

PAPER FILE SENT TO PA FILE BF'D TO: CPT ON 15-01-2006



This example above, from the Canadian High Commission London, means that the file is currently in the storage area "PA". The next action is allocation of an interview date "CPT". A program assistant will be prompted to allocate the interview date on "15-01-2005" (note this is dd-mm-yyyy format, so this means 15-Jan-2005). On this date the visa office will open the interview diary and schedule an interview.


Immigration Assessment Record Summary
The 'Immigration Assessment Record Summary' holds two primary useful sets of information - the visa office's points computation, and the status of each of the 7 stages of issuing a visa. An example is as follows :-

Caipsnotes result looks like this.

Most of the information is fairly obvious, but there are a few special codes used on this page. As part of our service we will help you to interpret any codes.

The 'Case Status' screen summaries the current status of the application. It repeats the decision information from the Immigration Assessment Record Summary screen.

Documents
The 'Documents' screen lists all additional documents that have been requested, by who, and whether the requested documents have been received back.

We occasionally discover processing errors in the documents screen. We have seen applications on hold for several months while the visa office waits for documents that have either been sent already, not requested, or their non-existence explained in a letter that does not seem to have been received, or maybe not read fully, by the visa officer.

The 'Medical Assessment' screen summarises the results of the medical examinations that were sent to the medical section.

[beaanddrei]

Hello everybody,

I 'm in the dark for several days now coz I'm wodering what happened to my application. I already emailed CIC twice and all I got was an automatic acknowldgement, I also tried to call them but they told me to contact my VO. I also learned last week that my DD was still outstanding. To make the long story short, I was really worried coz this is the third application that I sent due to some very minor mistakes on my part. Until, finally today, I got a message from them that:

Good Morning,

Your application is currently awaiting processing. Your application number is: E000000***.

Thank you,


JT


What does this mean then?....help please.... thanks.

 

[anil04_10]
