How long does the process take?

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
