Today, I received a CAIPS note for my parents immigration application.

As per officer's review, interview is waived and officer recommended following.

-Issue medicals
-Request details of foreign travel.

Medical forms have been received by my parents however, I would like to know where and how can my dad submit details of foreign travel? and for how many years?

Thanks

Thanks eCom for the help other day. I didn't use their service. As I figured when I can do it myself, why shall I go through someone else?

On quiet weekend night, google helped me out on DIY. Here are the detailed steps on "HOW TO FILL FORMS for CAIPS" - if anyone is interested.


1a. Have your Parents/Spouse fill out this form:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5475E.pdf
Step by step instructions:

• Tick the box that says "I authorize Citizenship and Immigration Canada... ... to release information from my case file to the following individual."
• Fill out all the particulars (his/her name, DOB, location of VISA Processing centre, i.e. The Canadian Embassy......... etc.)
• Fill out information under the headings titled "Designated Individual."
• Sign AND date the form at the bottom

1b. Alternatively, use following form just for CAPIS Notes:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5476E.PDF

Best Part; just send a photocopy of either 1a or 1b along with 2 and 3.


2. You must now fill out this form:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563B.pdf
Step by step instructions:

• Leave the first two boxes at the top blank (Requesters Reference No. and Public Rights Administration file number).
• Tick the box “Receive copies of record” under "Access to Information Act ($ 5.00 fee)."
• You HAVE to pay $5.00; there is no way around this. Do NOT tick "Privacy Act" and hope they will just process it without you having to pay; this will NOT work. You must pay $5.00 since you are requesting the info on behalf of some; who is not residing in Canada.
• Select which language you wish to receive your notes in, English or French. (These choices are under the "Privacy Act" sub-heading. Then tick the box which says "Receive copies of the Records."
• Fill out your Parents/Spouse' information.
• Under the next heading, "Request for-Required Information" box, tick the "CAIPS (information abroad)" box and write "The Canadian Embassy ........." under the "Embassy" sub-heading, and write the "Visa File No." in the appropriate box.
• DO NOT check any other boxes in this section. Especially the "OVERSEAS VISA FILE" box. If you do this, they will pull your file aside, photocopy everything and send it to you. It will not only take you forever to get the information, but they will also take your file out of the queue to process your request and therefore it will take LONGER !!! (CAIPS is just a computer printout of all the work done on your file so far. It will not affect the speed at which your visa office)
• In the next heading, tick the box which says "This request is being made by a Canadian Citizen..." Fill out all of your information in this box, name, phone number, address, etc.
• Sign and date.

3. Make out a cheque payable to the "Receiver General of Canada" for $5.00

Enclose the cheque in an envelope with the other forms, and a copy of your Canadian ID or a passport copy and send it to the address below:
