CIC Acronyms - Print them off.
Hi everyone,
Someone else may have done this before, I've seen bits and pieces but as I've had problems in the past on this forum with 'what the hell does that mean!' scenarios I've looked and found this lot of acronyms on another forum site.
Hope they help people, especially for the newbies (like me sort of).
Best print them off otherwise they'll just get lost in the plethora of threads...
Immigration acronyms:
========================
AIP = Approval in Principle (for PR within Canada)
AOR = Acknowledgement of Receipt (for apps outside Canada)
CAIPS = Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System (for apps processed abroad)
CBSA = Canadian Border Services Agency
CIC = Customs and Immigration Canada
CRC = Criminal Record Check
CSQ = Certificate of Selection Quebec
DMP = Designated Medical Practitioner (Nice one - DuMP)
FOSS = Field Operations Support System (for apps within Canada)
IA = Initial Approval (for apps done outside Canada)
IO = Immigration officer
IELTS = International English Language Testing System
IMM + numbers = refers to CIC applications and forms
Interpol = International Police
IP = Manual for inland processing
LICO = Low Income Cut-off
MOC = Marriage of convenience
MP = Minister of Parliament
NOC = National Occupation Code
OP = Manual for overseas processing
POE = Port of Entry
PPR = Passport request
PR = Permanent Resident/Residence
ROLF/RORLF = Right of Landing Fees/Right of Resident Landing Fees
RPRF = Right of Permanent Resident Fee
SP = Study Permit
WP = Work Permit

There is also a long list near the begining of every www.muchmormagazine.com magazine issue, and there is a list somewhere in the BE Articles that Judy put together too.
