My understanding is that the following people DO NOT have to pay $5: people currently present in Canada and/or permanent residents and/or canadian citizens... all of these people apply under the privacy act.
Anyone else (non-PR or citizens and out of the country) apply under access act and have to pay $5.
waitingintz said:
Yes, the only time you don't have to pay the fee is if the Principal Applicant is residing in Canada, even for an outland application. So if you are applying on behalf of your spouse (they are the PA) and you are in Canada but they are not, the $5 fee is applicable.

Received my CAIPS notes on Nov 2nd and its of not much help.
All I got from it is that they received all the extra documents that my wife sent i.e supplemantary information form, supporting letter and docs (after I visited my wife in summer)
Medical results: received and assessed but only valid until Jan 2011
Last time the file was opened in Apr 2010, and its been sitting in the storage area since then...
@Wes, is there a BF'D (Bring forward date) anywhere in your CAIPS notes? If time from April exceeds listed standards for your visa office, I suggest that you inquire Visa Office directly about the status of your application, via e-mail, mail or fax.
The last BF'D was April 10, 2010. Processing time for my Visa office is 16 months from AOR according to the CIC website and its only been 8 months for my wife. So I don't think there is any point of contacting them at this point plus I am following the thread as well for people going through the same VO and average time is about what they have mentioned on CIC website. Its frustrating. However, I will contact them after its been 9 months becasue thats what it said on the AOR about the average processing time and see what they have to say.

If you are asked for an interview, it is a good idea to order them because it will give you the details on some of the red flags on the application and what to prepare for in the interview. However, if you want to order them for the updates, then depends when you applied and through which visa office. I applied for them after 8 months, however current time for my visa office on CIC website is 16 months so there was no update on my file and it was just sitting in the storage area so check on that aswell if you are planning to order them..
