| Why is this useful? |
Obtaining a copy of your CAIPS notes can be beneficial in the following circumstances;
You have received your Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR)
Even if you recently submitted your Immigration application, the CAIPS file will have useful information. After you receive an AOR the CAIPS file is updated with a preliminary points assessment. You can use this points assessment to verify that the visa office is interpreting your application in the way that you had intended. If, for instance, the visa office has computed your points score differently, then you have an opportunity to provide more documentation BEFORE it is assessed. Once the file is assessed
you might have to wait 12-15 months to correct any misunderstandings. The CAIPS file will also have an indication as to when the formal assessment will occur - known as the bring forward date
You have been selected for an interview
The most common reason applicant's request their CAIPS file is when they have been selected for an interview. The CAIPS file will normally have information as to why the applicant is being interviewed.
