Our CAIPS subscription option allows you to stay updated regarding your immigration case and save time by being well prepared to react to visa office's requests.


For everyone whose immigration case is being reviewed outside Canada by Citizenship and Immigration Canada it is essential to monitor the case progress. Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System (CAIPS) used by Canadian immigration offices around the world provides all the detailed information about immigration cases and in many situations can be used to speed up the immigration process. We also offer a unique service of CAIPS subscription.

Consider CAIPS subscription - our option of periodic CAIPS request and analysis.

We suggest that our clients subscribe to periodic CAIPS retrieval and analysis, because this approach is proved to be very effective in terms of monitoring the case:

  • Every time when CAIPS file is retrieved, this fact is recorded in the file itself, and for some immigration officers it is a good sign of applicant's interest in case processing and applicant's due diligence expressed in regards to the case.
  • There are numerous facts known about immigration cases being for some reason set aside during processing; for example sometimes the case is set aside because visa office is waiting for reply to their request sent to wrong address; in many cases such delay can be revealed by periodic examination of CAIPS file, and appropriate measures can be promptly undertaken to resolve the problem and save months of waiting time.
  • By keeping track of changes in CAIPS file, one can tell on what processing stage the case is, and be readily prepared for the upcoming steps.
  • Sometimes mistakes or mistypes occur in the case records; the sooner they are found the easier it is to correct them, and the less time is wasted in doing it.
  • Quite often it is reported that a deferred immigration case shows immediate progress after CAIPS request is filed. It is known that sometimes immigration files are misplaced and just forgotten - in such case CAIPS request will fix the problem, because the fact of CAIPS request must be recorded in the file, that means that the file will be found regardless.
Regular monitoring of all changes reflected in CAIPS file is always very useful to be well informed about the application processing and to be properly prepared for upcoming steps.
