I see.... BTW, CAIPS? when does this come in the picture?

There you go:


There is no point of ordering CAIPS for atleast 10 months after the file is transfered to Islamabad...


What Is 'CAIPS'?

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

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 CAIPS file 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. You can often track unexplained delays down to missing letters or documents which become apparent as soon as the file is obtained. For example, CIC may have written to an applicant requesting additional references, educational transcripts or language tests, but the applicant may not have received such a request. Without CAIPS notes, the applicant would not have known that such a request was made.

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 CAIPS notes to put your mind at rest.

How Do I Get My CAIPS File?

Getting your file is fairly straight forward, but you will have to pay $ 5 if you are requesting CAIPS notes for your spouse, and they are not residing in Canada. Follow the instructions below:

1.

Have your spouse fill out this form, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5475E.pdf Step by step instructions follow below:

Tick the box that says "I authorize Citizenship and Immigration Canada... ... to release information from my case file to the following individual."

Then have your spouse fill out all of his particulars (his/her name, DOB, location of VISA Processing centre, i.e. Islamabad, etc.)

Then fill out your personal information under the headings titled "Designated Individual."

Have your spouse sign AND date the form at the bottom (alternatively, you could sign for your spouse; I dont think they will notice).

OR, if you have already filled out this form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5476E.PDF
then just send a photocopy of it along with 2. and 3..

2.

You must now fill out this form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563B.pdf Step by step instructions follow below:

Leave the first two boxes at the top blank (Requesters Reference No. and Public Rights Administration file number). This is to be filled by the officer processing your request.

Tick the box that says "Access to Information Act ($ 5.00 fee)." Yes, you HAVE to pay $ 5, there is no way around this. Do not tick "Privacy Act" and hope they will just process it without you having to pay $ 5; this will NOT work. You must pay $ 5 since you are requesting the info on behalf of your spouse, and your spouse is not residing in Canada.

Select which language you wish to receive your notes in, English or French. (I do not know why these choices are under the "Privacy Act" sub-heading. I am assuming the choice of language is also afforded to those who are requesting their notes under the access to "Information Act," and this is just poor design. But I may be wrong (In that case, it wont make a difference).

Then tick the box which says "Receive copies of the Records."

Fill out your spouse's information under the "Client Information" box.

Under the next heading, "Request for- Required Information" box, tick the "CAIPS (information abroad)" box and write "Canadian High Commission (ISLAMABAD)" under the "Embassy" sub-heading, and write the "Visa File No." in the appropriate box. DO NOT check any other boxes in this section. Especially the "OVERSEAS VISA FILE" box. If you do this, they will pull your file aside, photocopy everything and send it to you. It will not only take you forever to get the information, but they will also take your file out of the queue to process your request and therefore it will take LONGER !!! (CAIPS is just a computer printout of all the work done on your file so far. It will not affect the speed at which your case is processed)

In the next heading, tick the box which says "This request is being made by a Canadian Citizen..." Fill out all of your information in this box, name, phone number, address, etc.

Sign and date.

3.

Make out a cheque payable to the "Receiver General of Canada" for $ 5.

Enclose the cheque in an envelope with the other forms, and send it to the address below:

Public Rights Administration
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Narono Building
360 Laurier Avenue West, 10th floor
Ottawa, ON
K1A 1L1

WES Bhai, the CAIPS I ordered in April did not show much only the PSEC 1 (paper screening) my file was in Background Checks in May/June 2011 and per the email I got from CHC ISB in July 2011 our background checks are over. I got my 2nd CAIPS today and nothing changed in these notes. Only one thing, BFD MAY 2011. There is no reason why we are in the Interview Queue or if the Interview is waived. My MP told me in APRIL 2011 that we are in the Interview Queue, we got no letter from ISB stating that!! I am going CRAZY!!
Everything I have been told so far doesnt seem true, they way they are processing my case is not under normal guidelines or order.
I am a APRIL 2010 AOR, our Medical has been expired since DECEMBER 2010 .... Kya keroon??????????? HELP

First of all, calm down and relax yourself. By stressing yourself its not going to resolve anything. Alright so you said that the BFD in your CAIPS that you received today was in May, so anything after that happened to the file would not be in CAIPS. Their email reply in July said that your BG checks are done, thats a good news! Now have you received any reply from the embassy regarding interview? Or you are just going by what your MP told you? They don't really send the interview letter until they have the date scheduled and some people here are waiting for 10+ months just to get an interview date i.e 1 2 ka 4. Sometimes they don't tell you the reason in your CAIPS and they just do it for formality purposes. For eg. Huma's husband's CAIPS didnt mention anything either and his interview was pretty general. I don't know the exact details but yo might want to get some idea from Humaumair to see what exactly was asked in his interview and how much longer he had to wait for the letter to get general idea. All I can advise is that just stay positive and strong and wait until they contact you to see whats going on and hope for the best everything will work out at the end. Email them again next month and see what they have to say.

I normally send everything. The more the better to avoid an objection letter!

Yep I posted that a while ago, you must have missed it

Assalam-o-Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,

Just to give you all a heads up, if you are planning to fill out Sponsorship application for your spouse, or have recently received request to resend IMM forms, print the updated forms(07/2011) or else you will get the old ones back and will be asked to refill the new ones.
Seems like they have updated all the forms in July 2011. I hope all of us in process don't have to refill them again

 

[UOC]

So lets start practising to fill these forms.

i have a question its almost 9 months for my case has been in ISLAMABAD
do u think that they would Insha'allah work on my case during Ramadan?

And i have send soo mani fax telling them that my husbands address has changed n on
my ecase its still the old address.....

wat should i do. i mean i send a email n they said send a fax wit ur signature n ur
husbands signature..... so i have done that y dont they change the address alreadi?

Alright, I might sound a little rude here but I think its needed. First of all, you have to understand people do have normal lives and stuff to do other than coming here and answer same damn questions over and over and over again like hundred times. I personally have a full time job from which I make some time to come online and help others so they don't have to wait as much as I have been waiting. You come here demanding for answers like you own the forum, and pay each of these helpers to give you these answers. May be they got a little busy or they might just simply be searching for the answers for you. So be nice or next time people will ignore you on purpose even if they knew the answers.

Now to your question:

Normally after sending requests by post and/or fax they do update their system, but sometimes ignore to update ecas. If you have sent them signed faxes and/or letters by posts requesting change of address their system should've got updated because they also don't want to send someone else's personal information to someone else due to privacy and security purposes. Don't worry and wait for another month or two and see if your husband receives his rePCC and IMM request. If he does then you know that they have already updated the address and if he doesn't receive anything for a while you will have to send them an email again to ask about the address update as well as if they have sent any request letters.
