【“花椒面”原创】申请 CAIPS 的详细步骤（1）

首先声明：本人写这些个移民的东西就是出于帮忙目的，不要动不动老揣测我有这个那个的动机，帮人忙还要动机么？我花了那么多时间在网上帮人解答问题，包括写多篇说明解释文章，居然还有人自己不帮忙或者帮不到点子上，成天挑三拣四却非要分析出我有某种不良动机，让人多心寒呀。

◆◆◆ caips 是什么 ◆◆◆

CAIPS is short for 'Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System'. It is the computer system used by Citizenship & Immigration Canada to process overseas visa applications, and holds all the information on the current status of every immigration application

有人说了：网上不是有个 e-client 么？那个东西几乎没用，例如对于 skilled worker 申请从提交到批准下来这一两年，e-client 决大多数时候只有一句话 － “in process”。这不是废话么。

CAIPS 里面提供的信息就详细多了，例如材料什么时候收到、申请费交没交、大概评估分数是多少、对于你的 case 移民局有如特别 note、最近是否发信给过你、为什么发信给你、你提交的各种补充材料他们是否收到、体检结果移民局是否收到 等等。CAIPS 应该是你通过正当渠道能得到的关于你申请情况最详细的报告。

◆◆◆ 申请 caips 要多少钱 ◆◆◆

首先要说，如果申请人现在 present in Canada 给自己要 caips 其实是免费的。你在查询自己的信息，根据加拿大法律 Privacy Act 规定，如果是要求自己的信息，是免费的。

上个星期有个朋友和我讲：他们咨询某华人移民公司，那家的老板信誓旦旦地说 caips 只有某些特定的移民顾问能查，要价 300 加币给查一份。听后吓了我一跳，居然有人这么心黑，都是中国人对同胞真下得了手。佩服佩服，办这么个小东西骗 300，下次办移民工签就是骗 3000、5000 了，将来就不怕报应么？今天碰巧看了一家挺有名的华人移民中介公司的网站，上面大大方方办理这个东西要 200 加币。唉，跑题了，继续讲 caips ......

如果你委托人 present in Canada 在加拿大的朋友查询，那叫通过 access to information act 查询你的资料，别人查你的资料，加拿大政府是要收点钱的，多少呢？绝对不是 200、300 加币，是 5 加币。嗯，我没写错你也没看错，是一二三四五的五。

老有人问，那国际学生查询是不是要非交这 5 加币呢，我的答案是不用。加拿大政府还算公平，在这个问题对留学生和移民公民一视同仁。

我以前当国际学生的时候，就此事问过移民局主管这个事情的人。下面是 CIC 的一部门 manager 给我的回信。

Hello, XXX, ........ since you are presently in Canada, please check off the Privacy Act and note that no fee is required.

XXXXXX XXXX
Manager of Operations - PRAD
CIC
tel: (613) 946-xxxx
fax: (613) 957-xxxx

注：我现在写 access to information act or privacy act 是专门值移民申请，其实通过这两个法案可以查很多很多很多其它的内容。

不好意思，周末比较忙，就写了这么多。大家先看着，等我下个周末再继续写。

◆◆◆ 申请 caips 需要的表格 ◆◆◆

好了，说了上面这么多，关于 caips 的道理讲清楚了，下面是自己申请的具体步骤，先说需要的表格。

主要表格就是这个

IMM5563B Access to Information and Personal Information Request

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563B.pdf

具体的官方说明都在这里

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5563.html

Access to Information and Privacy at CIC

Access to Information and Personal Information Request Form (IMM 5563)
If you decide to use Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s Access to Information and Personal Information Request form, please do not accompany it with a letter or the Treasury Board form. Only use this form, the necessary consents and the fee (if applicable) when making a request. Following these recommendations will save all parties time and paper.

Basic items needed to start processing a request:

Formal request
Consent(s)
Fee ($5.00, only for an Access to information request) ― cheque or money order made payable to the Receiver General for Canada
Basic information needed to start processing a request:

Name
Date of birth
File location
File number

Tips:

The right column on CIC’s Access to Information and Personal Information Request form indicates what information we require for the corresponding information (i.e. if you check off the CAIPS notes box on the right, it indicates we require the embassy location and visa file number). Not providing the required information will result in an incomplete request letter and delay the processing of your request. (CAIPS notes are only for immigration files abroad, FOSS notes are only for immigration files that are in Canada and GCMS is for citizenship files only.)

We suggest that you request CAIPS or FOSS notes only. These notes are printed in our office, therefore processing is quicker. The physical file usually only contains the documents that were provided by your client. Having to call for a physical file increases the processing time.

If you wish to obtain all files in Canada, check off the Canada file box, indicate the client ID and write “all locations”. You will automatically receive FOSS notes with any request for Canadian files.

If you wish to obtain a VISA file (physical file including CAIPS), indicate the file number (starts with a “B”, “V”, “E” or an “S” most of the time) and the location of the embassy. For files abroad, we rely on a computer system that is provided to us by Foreign Affairs Canada. This system does not enable us to locate all files in all embassies at once by a search under your client’s name or client ID. We need each location as we can only search one embassy at a time. CAIPS notes are always provided with a VISA file request.

If the file number you wish to access is unknown, please indicate it. We will then attempt to search for it. If you wish to continue using either the Treasury Board request form or a letter, please be clear, concise and provide all information that would be required if you used CIC’s Access to information and Personal Information Request form.

NB.: Requests under the Access to Information or Privacy Acts can only be made by Canadian Citizens, Permanent Residents, or a person present in Canada, therefore if your client is not one of the above, your request must be made under the Access to Information Act. Also, your first request must include proof (i.e. copy of Canadian passport) that the requester (yourself) is one of the above if you are making the request from outside Canada.

这里面说到的 Consent，就是 A 授权 B 替 A 查询有关 A 的移民信息，A 可以写信授权，或者填写另外一个表格

Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual Form (IMM 5475)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5475E.pdf

有关说明在这里

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/release-info.html

先写这么多，最近工作比较忙，而且过几天要去美国过 Christmas。下一部分恐怕要到 2006 年再写了。祝福大家新年快乐。

下部分预告

－ 邮寄地址
－ 递交表格时候的一些注意事项
－ 还在想 ......
