Waiting for Interview.... Any Way To Check Status?
(note: this is for a friend.... I'm an American and had no problems getting a NAFTA work visa)
Friend applied from Holland for PR.... application lodged March 2004. All went as expected until he received a letter advising him that an interview would be required. The letter was received in March 2005, and it stated that the interview would take place within three to six months.
Is there any way to check status on such a case? I ask because in my own case I did have to 'nudge' the system by an enquiry, but I went through completely different channels (my Congressman contacted the Canadian Embassy and I got my visa within three days).

Hi,
Yes, it is possible to check the status of an application through "Eccleint Application Status" using file number and some other personal details. I think, your friend must have got the file number when he received the letter from CIC.
Below is thelink where you or your friend can check the status:
http://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/Iden...agree=Continue
But, pl note that the information you get from this source is very limited and may not be of much help!
However, your friend can order for CAIPS notes and see if there are any doubts raised by the visa officer that could have resulted in for interview call.
Hope this helps!

The system apparently just says "in process." Thanks for the tip on ordering the CAIPS notes.

Your friend should be aware that only a Canadian citizen or permanent resident can get the CAIPS notes. If he/she used an authorized immigration consultant (or Canadian attorney), this professional can obtain the CAIPS notes on behalf of your friend.
Good luck.

My friend does have an IC but I'm not sure if the IC holds Canadian citizenship.
