Sweet, Doublet & Gango ,

its really nice
it was very useful for me too
dont scared to order your caips notes Sweet. it wont harm to anybody who order them. its legal & we have right to see our caips notes & position of our application. many of people have ordered them sometimes for 2-3 times for now. it takes almost 1 month to get it done. so, if you order now you'll get it in the next month. then you'll know what is your position of your application now.
good luck to everybody......

you are welcome dear. do what you should do & dont go for the things asap if somebody says. bcoz you have time. if you panic you cant do anything properly. send them through the registered post mail. bcoz there are some people who were refused as failed to send the requested documents. but certainly they have sent the documents but CIC have not received the package. so, if they say that you were failed to send the documents, you should have the proof with you. after if you refused, cant blame on anybody. its better to send them via registered post mail & keep the receipt with you. do the correct, right thing. Good luck..........

Yeah I think it's common for them to ask to bring additional information. What kind of proof did you originally submit with your application? How far away is the interview?
