no and no. I keep checking my bank acct. online every day to see its been cashed but it hasn't yet. Should I have gotten an email reply from them? I'm sure I sent it to the correct address but can't remember what it was now. I got the address from CIC website though.

Don't worry.. if it has already been 6 weeks u should be receiving both of them soon.. When we received a mail from them.. just letting us know that they have received our request for Caips n will be processing it.. (that was jst 2 weeks before we received our caips)... our cheque got encashed within a week from that maill n we received our caips the next week

From the day we sent our request for caips we got our caips in exact 2 months
 
Okay thanks SCsquare-I guess I have another couple of weeks to go, but hopefully, we'll have gotten the decision letter (saying 'yes'!) ;) by this time!
 
Well, I got my CAIPS notes yesterday in the mail, even though my $5.00 cheque was never cashed (?) but, for all these notes tell me, I don't think they're even worth $5.00! It's strange, because a decision was made according to ECAS on Jun.15, and these CAIPS notes are dated Jun.16, one day later, and they say that 'no' final decision has been made, and no decision on 'anything' accept for paper screening, which we passed a long time ago. (sponsorship part). Everything else has a '0' beside it which means 'not done' yet. I studied these things for hours last night, and it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, except that the medical has been received and assessed. The VO's notes were minimal and just said, '3rd marriage for sponsor, 1st for applicant, 21 yr. age diff., travelled 2 times to Tunisia, applicant proposed 1st trip and 2nd trip they married, blah, blah, blah, lots of guests at wedding with numerous photos in support of this - interview required'...It says 'nothing' about how the interview went, whether he passed or not, whether the background check has been completed, NOTHING! I don't get it, unless they processed CAIPS notes long before they made their decision, but still, can't figure out why there is nothing about the interview in these notes. Well, we're back to square one, and will have to wait for the decision letter before we know what the decision is. :-\
 
guys I need an advice
I have sent an email to Rome visa office and Mississauga on Friday, saying that my partner s address has changed, from Quebec (where we sent the application in december) to toronto (on june 1st).He s going to work in toronto for 1 year. in the email we emphasized that we want to come back to Quebec after that.

as you know there are some immigration documents (2) that are different from quebec to the rest of canada
quebec does not have the imm 5481 and imm5409 but
Quebec HAS three other ones and also additional fees (250 dollars) to pay.

both you people and the ones from the immigration phone number suggested me that considering that my application has been sent in december and we are almost at the end of the processing time (rome takes 5 months on average, and we are on the 3rd) they may not ask me nothing.

well today we received a weird email from Rome

Dear Mr. Cravero,
This is to inform you that your application has now been assessed and concluded.
Please arrange for the pick-up of your documents by a courier within the next 7 working days.
You must instruct the courier company that the envelope addressed to you is available at the Reception of the Visa Section of the Canadian Embassy and must be collected from Monday to Thursday (our office is closed to public on Fridays) between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm. You should also inform them that the envelope will not be released without your name and surname.
Canadian Embassy
Reception - Second Floor
Via Zara, 30
00198 Rome



what does it mean? they will give me my documents back with no info? and what about this letter? i am freaking out. I don t know what it means but I am really freaking out. I am wondering to see if they need the extra documents for my change of address, or maybe they refuse my application. if it is like that, I would like to know which are the reasons and why they do decided like that. don t they have to call u for an interview before? or stop you before? i mean our file has been opened so long time ago....

a friend of mine who is a lawyer told us to be quiet and think positive. that they put a delay date to pick up the documents is a positive sign.
and also, the fact that they give the documents back is a good sign?
please guys help me i m getting crazy...u can t call rome. only email or fax. i am sending a friend tomorrow to pick these stuff...

Congratz on the ppr Kolibri!
 
Thank you, Canpak!!! :D
 
Congratulations! So happy to hear that everything worked out alright.

It certainly would be easier if all visa offices followed the same procedure and updated e-cas on a regular basis. It would sure save all of us a lot of worrying!
 
Thanks, Bobshynoswife! :) and everyone for the support!!!
Yep, it would be much easier to understand and predict the outcome. The difference with Warsaw I believe is just because not too many countries are going thru their office (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, and Belorussia and that's it-all pretty small countries) - don't think they are really busy like New Delphi or London for example...thus different rules...
