Re: Middle East Application Forum CAIPS Notes
CAIPS Notes
Dear Aspire,
I applied for CAIPS notes two times, here under is my experience
1- It takes 6-7 weeks to be issued from date of application.
2- If you apply today, your CAIPS will be printed today pending decision and you'll receive your notes after 45 days showing the status of your files as of today's date. It means if you apply for CAIPS on 1st October, you'll receive your CAIPS on 20th November showing the status of 1st October.
3- A note on your file will be added that the person requested CAIPS notes. I suspect the delay thing in it, but i am not sure.
The reason i suspect the delay is because it adds 10 line statement in remarks section of your file, which may add confusion as compare to a clean file. I personally requested CAIPS 2 times, so addition of 20-25 lines.
These lines states that the Canada office is requesting London office to print the status and a decision will be made blah blah.
4- CAIPS however undoubtedly shows the status of your file.e.g you have cleared the Paper Screening or meet the 67 score or what is pending from you or your medicals are status passed or not or Interview is required or deffered etc depending on which status your file is hanging.
5- It may so happen that nothing is happening with your file pending Background checks etc, so you may not be able to interpret what conclusion should be taken.
6- Finally if you can't have patience and suspect that your score might be low or can't wait for London office for so long to contact you, CAIPS will help show you your file status.
Finally if you need advise on your CAIPS, let me know or send them to me and i'll share my experience with you.
Hope this clarifies all your queries on CAIPS.
