for those who wants to know about CAIPS/GCMS :)

CAIPS stands for "Computer-Assisted Immigration Processing System". It is often used as a synonym for "information from a visa file". This system was developed in 1980s.

By 2011 all Canadian visa offices outside of Canada began using GCMS — "Global Case Management System". This is a new system; since 2011 all new visa applications are being processed in GCMS, while many older files are still being processed in CAIPS.

Information received via visafile.info is represented differently for CAIPS and GCMS. Officers' notes are in plain text regardless of the system.

If your visa file number looks like E123456789, it means that your application is being processed in the GCMS.

how much caips/gcms cost

All information requests submitted directly from visafile.info are $25 US.

This also includes the government processing fee as per the Access to Information Act of Canada.

If you need to request any other information in addition to or instead of CAIPS/GCMS information from your visa file, the price will be different. Please inquire to get your quote.

Examples of information that can be requested are complete copies of all documents contained in your visa file, medical reports (including X-ray images), Canadian border crossing records, information processed in the systems inside Canada etc.

who needs CAPS/GCMS notes?

You may need this service if you are immigrating to Canada, applied for any Canadian visa, work permit, study permit or there is any other file under your name that was or is being processed by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

By requesting information via visafile.info you will receive printout from the application processing system with various data about the application and, most importantly, notes and decisions of the immigration officers.

You probably won't need this service if your application was approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada and you don't want to know anything about how it was processed. :)

what do u need to get CAIPS?

To request the information from your visa file you will have to provide general information about the adults included in the application — their names and dates of birth.

You will also have to provide details about the visa file — its number, application type (temporary visa, immigration etc.) and location of the visa office processing the application (just city and country).

If you don't know your visa file number, you may proceed without it. It may take a little bit longer to locate the file and receive the information.

Start by making the payment on the order page, then follow detailed step-by-step instructions provided thereafter. Contact us at any time if questions arise. :)

WHEN DO PEOPLE RECEIVE CAIPS reply?

In most cases the requested information is provided in 45 calendar days.

If you place the order today, you will likely receive the information by Wednesday, September 18, 2013

Please note, that we have no control over the process and cannot speed up processing. 45 days is the time required by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, not by visafile.info. Immigration authorities are required by law to provide the information in specific time; this requirement is met in most cases. If more time is required to process a request, we receive a delay notification and forward it to the applicant.

In very rare cases it takes from 45 to 65 days to receive the information. It is extremely unlikely that your request will take more than that. :)
+1 for me :)

Dear seniors,
Att: PMM, cocknail,
Today I got one of the most depressing news of my life, the caipst note which says that my application for immigration to Canada was terminated by operation of section 87.4(1) of the immigration and Refugee protection Act.
I am one of 2007 skilled worker applicant from Afghanistan and sent all my original documents to ISB visa office in May 2011 which is still over there.
In fact , I do not agree with this wrong decision because Bill C-38 clearly says that Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act (Bill C-38) has become law, CIC will terminate processing Federal Skilled Worker files if applicants:
• applied before February 27, 2008, and
• have not had a decision made by an immigration officer based on selection criteria before March 29, 2012.
A decision based on Federal Skilled Worker selection criteria means that an immigration officer:
• has assessed your FSW application against the points grid, and
• has made a decision on whether or not you meet the selection criteria of the program.

As per the caips note I got in Oct 2012, the immigration office has assessed my file and awarded me total 55 points except adoptability for relationship with my sister, and English Language proficiency for which I was entitled 17 points: 12 points for IELTS test and 5 for relationship.
The reason was that due to unknown reason the IELTS test date was changed by British council in Kabul from April 21, 2011 to May 7th 2011 and we were notified by e-mail. So I attached the e-mail and registration slip with a cover letter saying they will receive the IELTS result in a few days. All other documents were sent which is still over there since May 9, 2011.
So my SELDEC was 1 dated 4-6-2011
PESDEC was 0,
Written: FN does not qualify the criteria
In other part of capis note says:
FN has not submitted IELTS result, so no points awarded for English language proficiency at this stage. However, FN has provided registration slip that shows IELTS test date as 07-05-2011.print out of and e-mail shows that FN has taken test on 07-05-2011.
Furthermore, they acknowledged the recite of IELTS result which received by them on 26-05-2011.
So this is not my fault, I have sent all requested doc but they have not calculated points for IELTS test.
As per my last caips note:
PESDEC 1 4-6-2011
SELDEC 7 12-2-2013
File BF’ date to: RET on 14-02-2015

I have not received any letter from VO yet either rejection and nor refund letter and all my original documents are still over there.
I really do not know whether to appeal for the court or not, and how much will be the possibility of success and cost and time associated with this.
