Hi all – just wondering if someone who has received FOSS notes can help me, as I am just wondering what they should look like.
My problem is: I filled out form IMM5563, checking that I would like information via ‘E-mail' and my request was for ‘FOSS electronic notes (information in Canada)', I then faxed and emailed it off on March 15. Yesterday I received a HUGE envelope (120+ pages), via post, from CIC Vegreville and in it, along with all their notes etc, contains a copy of my entire file, including my full application I sent them and all my photos.
Is this FOSS notes or did they stuff up and send me my ‘In Canada Immigration file' which I didn't request? And if it is my immigration file does that mean that my application was pulled from processing and could of slowed down my completion? It shows an issue date for CORP, but says it hasn't been 'printed' yet, but it has an expiry date of June 6?!?! I'm so confused and wondering if them pulling my file is why I haven't landed yet.
It sounds like you may have checked off in Section B of the IMM5563 the box: In Canada Application File (Includes FOSS) instead of the Foss electronic notes in Canada. Selecting the more detailed one like the one you received slows down your application somewhat from what I have read. You may want to inquire about this. If you didn't select this and you have proof of it call them right away to address it.
