Canada Immigration and CAIPS

CAIPS is acronym of "Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System”. CAIPS includes all the determinations made by a visa officer evaluating your file, in addition to concern the Canadian visa officer may have on your file.

It is at all times a good idea to ask for the CAIPS notes on your file if processing of your immigration case is taking longer than likely. For instance, most probably Citizenship and Immigration Canada is waiting for information from your side and you by no means received the request. Or maybe the visa officer has a concern about the authority of a document but you were not at all informed.

CAIPS let you to see concerns with your application which you can rapidly deal with by communication with the office managing your immigration application.

If you are called for an interview you should obtain your CAIPS which will likely disclose why the interview was called and which concerns the Canadian visa officer will discuss with you.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will send CAIPS to a Canadian address or to a spokesperson in Canada. If you are not residing in Canada there are some firms who will get CAIPS for you for a fee.

Where Should I file my Immigration case?

People who are not living in their native country are often confused about which Canada Immigration Office to apply for.


The regulation is that you may apply in any one of two places i.e. the Canada Immigration Office responsible for your country of residence or your country of citizenship.


But if you have been legally entered to your country of current residence for at least twelve months, you may apply through your country of residence.


This regulation has some big advantages. For instance, if the office in your country of citizenship has long wait times for Canadian immigration, and the situation is opposite in your country of residence then you must apply from your country of residence.


Another good tip is that you don’t need to be lived in your country of residence for twelve months before applying; you only need to have been admitted there for at least twelve months. This means you can apply for Canadian immigration once you arrive in your country of residence with your twelve month work permit.
