I got my CAIPS on around 20 November 2011, my file was In Process. Mine was also sent to Microlocator with BF date of 22 Jan 2012, but got medicals on 4 Jan 2012, dispatched from NYVO on 21 December 2011. So Microlocator does't seem to be cold storage. It must be a location in each VO.
Most likely MAY is an assitant to VO EVI.
ECU is Economic Class Unit.
I am hoping RFV stands for 'Ready for Visa' (final check before issuing visa)

Best wishes,
I found this post by Vermas.....there is no link to prove it though.


This is what I found about ECU. This dept is connected with CBSA and IMO, ECU would release "INFORMATION" on the file after CBSA's confirmation. I should be honest....I am purely guessing.

Thanks Mitali,

Actually in GCMS there’s a note listed “ECU-RFV docs pending”. What are these docs?? My file is lying with the ECU unit since 3 months and they haven’t taken any action on it. IO has requested the file 2 times for RFV but its still with ECU. The last note in file is ‘File for RFV’ but I haven’t heard anything from NDVO yet.

Please help.

The below information is for NDVO as most of the NDVO applicants got ECU in their caips. As per the Qorax master advisor, ECU is only Elimination of the applications.
ECU = Elimination Care Unit

Quote from: qorax on April 17, 2012, 08:29:52 am
Similar to my previous post, RFV - which stands for Ready For Visa - is an important log by the IO w.r.t. a case where s/he finds it complete from his/her side... And notifies some other cell/dept./section to assess/act on the requested activities pending the forwarding this case file to PHEP Section (for PPR/visa issuance). This, usually, signifies that this case file is now finalized from the IO's desk.

NOTE:
1. Both, RFA & RFV may not only be marked for ECU... it could be for any other dept. as well.
2. ECU is specifically created to address the backlogs. IMHO they deep-scrutinize the files submitted to them with an intention to "eliminate" rather than "select" applications. This is a severe screening process... and I again opine that not all files go there... but why do some (go to them) is beyond me, or I do not want to comment on it.



Hello Qorax,

If the status is updated as below in CAIPS, what does it mean?
ECU – PLS REQUEST THE FOLLOWING:
-PPTS
-MEDS
-RPRF
-UPDATED POF

As per your understanding on ECU, do you think this is also for elimination/ severe screening process to eliminate.


DOES ESC SECTION IS FOR FINAL SURVIVAL CHANCE BEFORE ELIMINATION?
