Hello Anik:Anik said:Hi RajaJi, did you order FOSS or CAIPS? Did you have your parents signed consent? At what stage is your parents application? Transferred already?
I do not have parents' signed consent yet (need to be mailed from their home country and I do not feel like paying courier costs, will do reg mail).
I know that to access CAIPS records (overseas, for parents), I would need to submit their consent for sure.
But I am wondering: if I order at least FOSS for now, would I be able to see whatever was recorded in mississauga under my UCI and sponsorship application ? Or will they not give me much info because it pertains to both me and my parents (thus their consent is still needed).
What about the submitted Use of representative form? If I already mailed it to Mississauga, would htey not consider it enough to release at least FOSS files?
I requested for Caips/GCMS under PRIVACY ACT. There is no charge if requestor is a Canadian CItizen or PR or a person present in Canada.
If you are an authorized representative and have already submitted the representative form, you may request under Accees to Information Act. There is a $5.00 fee for it. It takes about 30 days to get the information.
CIC has changed the format of the form begining this month. A link to the form is posted below:

Goodluck!
