Hi MS,

Please refer to a posting posted under my username under Family Class Sponsership tab (Subject: Does putting an enquiry in really delays your case). It should give you all the detail about CAIPS codes. If you still need further clarification, please let me know I will try to explain!!

I ordered Caips Notes last week at Caipsnotes.com. I pay by Bank Draft and the company asked me to send the original Bank Draft to them, then I did but I am just afraid that it may be lost, at that time I don't know what to do.

All the Caips Codes can help to know everything about my Caips Notes of my case (FSW)?

Thanks

Thanks for posting this... it will certainly come in handy when I receive my CAIPS notes.
Are the FOSS notes in a similar format or are they easier to interpret??

Thanks!

Hi,

This is a very useful list - thanks for posting it. My common-law partner has a marital status of 6 on the confirmation of permanent residence - do you know what this means?

If it's a mistake, I'd like to highlight it before we get to the border!

Thanks
