[aliash090]

hello,my medicals are done on 16 july,and my status of application is still "in process" and in details they say "we started processing your application on Nov,25,2008".They didn't include "medical results revieved"?? i am so worried.

I would not worry about ecas too much. Many times it is not completely up to date. If you want the status of your app, try requesting your CAIPS notes, it will take up to a month but it is detailed.

CAIPS is an acronym for Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System.

It is part of the Electronic Data Processing (EDP) system used by the Canadian Immigration offices to process visa applications. EDP systems are those used to gather or update the information needed for the operational support of immigration programs. From an applicants point of view, the two useful systems are CAIPS and FOSS.

CAIPS is an automated system for application processing outside Canada. Information is entered in the system from application forms and supporting documentation submitted by applicants for immigrant and visitor visas, returning residence permits and student and employment authorizations.

FOSS is the main operational support for Immigration operation in Canada.

Your CAIPS file will have valuable information on the processing of your Canadian permanent residence application. CAIPS is NOT same as the "e-Client", which only provides limited information on the status of your application.

The CAIPS file that you receive from Ottawa, Canada will be a computer printout. The printout will have the details of the points calculations, immigration officer's notes, program assistant's notes, details of the processing stages passed, etc.

My husbands medicals were just received in Pretoria although we did it in march. Otherwise we have heard no news since June when we passed the sponsorship process. How do you request your CAIPS notes?
