Questions on CAIPS note!
Hi all,
I'm a PhD student in Canada and I applied for Canadian immigration for my wife and I in September 2003.The processing of our case was started in October 2003.we did our medical and paid the RPRF in June 2004 .In October 2004, the CIC asked us to fill out IMM08 again. Since then we have sent them many faxes and the only answer we got was that we’re in background check. But in response to our last fax they said they cannot guarantee any time frame for our application. Last month I ordered caips notes and recently I received the results. Here are the results:
PSDEC 1 04-06-2004
SELDEC 4 04-06-2004
BDEC 1 10-06-2005
MEDEC 0, OREQ 0, FIN DEC 0
Meanwhile there is 1 for SEC for both of us and there is nothing below CRIM and our medical status is M01.
I have couple of questions and I really appreciate if you could answer them.
•What does BDEC 1 mean? Does it mean our background check is done? If yes , why there is nothing below CRIM?
•Do you know what is a possible reason why our MEDEC is 0 while our medical status is M01?
•There is a part I couldn’t decode:
Foss: No enforcement
SA valid until Jan 2005
•I also have some problems interpreting this part too: RECD STATUS CHECKS FM SUBJ. XING OUT REQUIREMENT FOR LTR OF REF FM CURRENT EMPLOYER SINCE THERE MAY BE SUFFICENT EVIDENCE OF EXP ON FILE ALREADY.
Thank you very much for your help,
It is greatly appreciated,
p.i.

Just got hold of my CAIPs notes and there were two lines that I didn't
understand. It reads as follows:
FOSS HIT FOUND FOR SPOUSE.
NO FOSS HIT X2
I searched CIC and discovered the FOSS stands for "Field Operations Support
System". Please would you kindly explain what this means exactly.
