Thank you! I'm hoping it's my week tooStumpedmom said:Awwww Kerianne...I keep watching to see if you got news....I really hope this is your week...
CAIPS stands for Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System. It allows you to see what the IO has entered into the computer system regarding your case and application status. From my understanding, they request that you wait until your application has reached the application average processing times (so I think that's 11 months now? which is where I'm at..) to order them. They say that if you order them too early, you will either get a pretty blank CAIPS note return, or that it can even extend your processing time. So it's really a toss up.scyra said:Hey Kerianne,
What is CAIPS? I have read about it on this forum but not sure what exactly is it? Is it some secure way of getting information about your file? Is it different from e-cas? And what is the procedure to get it?
Kindly if you can help me, please. Thanks.
If you are living in Canada, are a Canadian resident, or citizen, it is free. If not it's only $5 to order them. There is a form that you fill out, you check the CAIPS box, and preferred language (ie. English, or French) blah blah blah. I will post a link that you can read about it. I would suggest if your application is straight forward and you have not been requested for additional information or required an interview to wait a couple more months before considering. But that's just my two cents.
