Hi everyone,

I am sponsoring my wife and I am going though the Paris office. I recieved my CAIPS recently and I have a few questions:

CAIPS reads the following:

Applic. Rec’d: 12-12-2007

PSDEC 1 10-03-2008 SELDEC 4 10-03-2008
BDEC MEDDEC 0
OREQ 0 FINDEC 0

Visa (s) Printed:

Status
Sec Crim
1

Medical
Stage Validity
M19 01-011-2008


Paper File Sent to PAA File BF’D To: AB ON 22-07-2008

View Scanned Documents: N

Document (s) Req’d Date Requested Ok Authority

________________ _____________ ___ ________
________________ _____________ ___ ________
________________ _____________ ___ ________
________________ _____________ ___ ________


Please note no info on back of photos and additional family information from section 'B' not signed. Therefore, service commitment date not entered. CPCM/AO. Case referred to Paris. User ID: XXXXXXXX




==================BXXXXXXXXX MAL 26-FFEB-2008================

(IO wrote notes about marriage in French! It is understood that marriage is satisfied)

==================BXXXXXXXXX AB 10-MAR-2008=================

(Med entered and passport checked)

==================BXXXXXXXXX LF 23-APR-2008====================
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

==================BXXXXXXXXX GU 24-APR-2008===================
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

==================BXXXXXXXXX GU 21-JUL-2008====================






Now the questions:

1) The IO from CPCM indicated in the notes the following:

"Please note no info on back of photos and additional family information from section 'B' not signed. Therefore, service commitment date not entered. CPCM/AO. Case referred to Paris"

Now, I submitted about 12 pictures of the wedding and our honeymoon. I do not know if this info on back of photos means what! what kind of info is the IO wondering about! It is a picture which is better than a thousand words. but anyways, I looked at the addition family information sheet which I supplied with my application and section 'B' (for dependent children info, which doesn’t apply in our case sinc no kids) is actually SIGNED! and it is section 'A' that is not signed since Note 1 in that section indicates that "If no spouse or common-law partner is listed in section A, read and sign below", so in this case my wife did not sign below since my name (spouse) is listed in that section!

Do you think I should contact CIC and clarify this issue with them? It seems from the CAIPS that they have not requested any documents anyways! so maybe I should not bother at all?

2)What does it mean that “the service commitment date not entered”?

3) What do the “0s” in front of the codes represent?

4) What does the “1” in front of the Sec Crim mean? Should I say that they finished the background check and it is now in the process of issuing the visa?

5) What is the “&” supposed to mean in the following:

==================BXXXXXXXXX GU 24-APR-2008===================
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

6) It seems that the file went through 4 IO and went back “BF’D” to AB on 22 July 2008. Now do you think this is the final stage of process? Would you think AB is the guy to close the deal?

Overall, would you say that things are smooth and I should not worry much and hopefully expect my wife to get a letter with the PPR request?

Thanks again everyone for your input
