To order your CAIPS notes from CIC takes as long as 38 business days:
CIC's commitment to process your request to your CAIPS notes: (within) 30 business days
Mail from Vancouver to Ottawa and mail from Ottawa to Vancouver: 6-8 business days
Please note:
1) Aforementioned days are business days, which exclude weekends and holidays
2) CIC will process your request within 30 business days upon the receipt of your request. However, the receipt here does not mean the same time your mail physically arrives at CIC. Instead, it is the date CIC stamps date on your mail. In other words, your mail may arrive at Monday but CIC stamps date on your mail on Thursday. In this case, the 30 business day commitment is computed from Thursday, instead of Monday. That's why I strongly suggest express mail service. Because for express mail, your mail will start to be processed the same day it arrives at CIC --------

A total of 235,808 people immigrated to Canada in 2004, a seven percent increase over the previous year. This number was within the planning target range of 220,000 to 245,000 new immigrants. Fifty-seven percent of immigrants were in the economic class, 27% in the family class, and 14% were refugees. Some of the largest category increases occurred among refugees landed in Canada, whose numbers increased by 41%; provincial nominees, who rose by 41%; and live-in caregivers, by 30%.
The top three countries of origin (country of last permanent residence) were China (36,410), India (25,568) and the Philippines (13,299). The largest change among the leading countries of origin was the declining importance of South Korea, which ranked ninth overall compared to fifth in 2003. This represented a 25% decrease in the number of South Korean immigrants in 2004. Two top 10 countries recorded large increases: the United States (25%) and France (22%). (The Monitor, CIC) --------
