[bestplace4u]

Hi,

does anybody have an idea whats the reason behind sending to re-fill Personal history in Supplementary forms and schedule 1 sections to fill out AGAIn, shortly after re-filling of Imm forms??

i dont understand..

i worte the personal history sections as the following:

From:July 2010 to: to date HOMEMAKER
From: AUG 2006 to: June 2010 Graduation Studies


Guys please help, did i do it the wrong way? =( i have been a student and then have been home waiting since graduation..no work or anything? i dont get the point why they sent just the personal history section to be filled out again?

Help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

you have to provide the details from i guess your 18th birthday or may be its 15th, that is mentioned on the form so i guess u made a mistake by not providing the complete details.

Hey buddy, mobilicity is crappy but chat-r aint actually like i said IT IS rogers! And neither company is limited, u go out of zone u always pay extra regardless which phone company u are. See i live in GTA, is it a big city unlike edmonton so here are more options as compared to where u are for sure. Rogers itself telus bell fido they are all thugs anyways but thanx to compition it has brought some relief, atleast here in GTA.

What I am trying to say is that chatr covers half the area as local calling area than what rogers covers. In Edmonton, whats considered as local calling area for rogers is considered long distance according to chatr even though it is owned by rogers, it sucks!!! And I get alot of calls that are outside of chatr zone which would be charged as long distance but with rogers they are considered as local. Toronto and other bigger cities have better network for these but not here yet, hopefully soon they will extend their local network area then I will see whats best!

How can i get one?

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

Here is what I posted earlier, hope it helps....

As I said before it seems like they send PPRs in batches They send a whole bunch out at once and then they stop for a while to finish up more files then they send a whole bunch of PPRs again. So hopefully all the applicants from Jan to Apr2010 AORs who have done their remedicals get the PPRs in their next batch InshAllah.

I don't really know since I am no fortune teller but see below for the assumption I made earlier...

I think they select the quarterly files. So most of Jan2011 to Mar2011 remeds have received PPRs, lets assume that next batch of AORs is from April2011 to June2011 remeds (and ofcourse the remainder of Jan-Mar) :

Files are being reviewed on quarter basis. Tell you the truth, the Decission making officials reside in DUBAI. they take a whole lot of paper work with them after every three months, measure/weigh them, and return them to CHC Isb with their 02.cent comments on each particular case, then take the next lot.

Yeah I wouldn't doubt that, its quite a possibility...
