Dear Kavya,kavya said:The best way is to apply once u got IP. Because, when its RBVO details, you dont get much in CAIPS. at the same time you can definately apply through your friend, it wont cost u much.

If you have some relative in Canada, I think you should apply too. We may know some important facts regarding your (and everybody else's) telephonic interview from your CAIPS.
Had you applied immediately after getting into in-process, I bet you could have known about the impending interview well in advance and you could have answered more confidently
