Question about almost empty CAIPS (and also ridiculously long process)
Hi,
I received CAIPS for my immigration file and found that a lot of information is missing there. Basically, there is only my name. There are no my address, no phone, no assessment information. It used to be ~7 pages, now it contains only 3 pages. And in the end of CAIPS:
"PAPER FILE SENT TO RET FILE BF'D TO MICROLOCATOR".
I found in a couple of sources that "RET" means "RETIRED" or destroyed. How it is possible? And what should I do?
Citizenship: Russian
Have been living in Canada since 2000 (Working visa)
Applied for permanent resident status - Dec, 2001 (Buffalo)
AOR - Mar, 2002 (Interview required : Assess funds and education)
File transferred to Detroit: Jun, 2004
Interview waiver(request for medical exam and RCMP fingerprints check): Sep, 2004
Did medical and sent fingerprints to Ottawa: Oct, 2004
Waiting
Is it normal to wait more than 7 months after medical?
Thanx,
Maxim

Hi,
I do not have any idea about your empty CAIPS file. But as far as your second question concerned I should say it is normal at least for Asians and some others.
FYI: I waited for more than 16 months after medicals to receive PPR.
hope this helps!

I suggest you should send a letter to Buffalo asking about ur status. May be they have sent u PPR and u never got it and they have retired the file as you didnt respond. I m just guessing after reading ur post.
Its worth chasing Buffalo now. Good luck
