CAIPS (or "Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System") is where all Canadian government notes are kept about your immigration application. CAIPS includes a wealth of information, including:

*Initial assessment scores
*Missing documentation
*Interview dates
*Visa officer notes and comments
*Concerns or problems with your file

Here is how to obtain your CAIPS notes yourself :

You must be living in Canada or have someone in Canada to do the same for you. If you are living in Canada you can order your CAIPS notes or on behalf of someone else for free under the Privacy Act.

1) Go the site : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/I... and fill in the form with the required details i.e.:

a] Visa post (e.g. Buffalo, NY etc.)
b] File number (e.g. BXXXX..)
c] Date of Birth
d] Your Postal address (In Canada address only)

2) Check on the box for the CAIPS notes request in the form.
3)Provide a photocopy of your valid permit/visa in Canada (Person requesting).
4) Write a cover letter requesting the notes (Person who requests writes that).

Post all the papers together to :

I think your background checks are on right now. Let others comment on it. As SELDEC is 0 it means decision on this one is pending.

Hi Maxo,

I have the same CAIPS status since July 31, 2010:

PSDEC-1
SELDEC-0
POINTS-67

After 10 months they asked me to submit some documents which I already submitted together with the full application package to London CHC. How did I get 67 points if my spouse's bachelors degree certtificate and transcript of records was not submitted to them? We claim adaptability points from spouse's education.
It was in their file I am sure because they had awarded me 67 points but I really wonder why after 10 months from the date the IO gave me 67 points, CAIPS said that spouse's certificates are not in the file...???

I requested CAIPS Notes on 21 February 2010 and they were postmarked 8 April 2010. I should point out that if you are not applying for your own CAIPS, you must provide the person in Canada who applies with a signed letter requesting your Notes and authorizating the release of your personal information. In this case, the permission letter was hand written, scanned and emailed. The letter was printed off the computer and attached to the application with the $5 cheque. Hope this helps.
