How much does it cost to retreive my immigration file?
CAIPS FileCheck offers a range of services ranging from C$40 for our simple CAIPS Basic service to
$120 for our most
comprehensive CAIPS Premium Interpreted service.
We believe that our rates offer great value - it would be tough to find an
immigration consultant who would obtain your CAIPS file for you for less than
C$500!. To keep our rates extra low, we have split out the 'interpretation'
service out so that you can decide if you want professional assistance in interpreting
your file.
We use PayPal to process our clients' credit and debit card transactions -
PayPal has become the global leader in online card processing for consumers and
small businesses, and we believe it offers a simple and secure solution that is
best for both parties. Other payment means may be available, but only by prior
arrangement - please
email us for details.
CAIPS Basic Service(C$40)
'CAIPS Basic' is our standard service and costs C$40 plus GST/HST for Canadian clients.
We will obtain a copy of your CAIPSfile and email the file to you in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format.
The service takes around 6 weeks. You must pay by PayPal to use our CAIPS Basic service.
We will provide to you just the raw CAIPS file, and will not provide any interpretation of the CAIPS
file (see our interpretation information page).
CAIPS Premium Service (C$60)
'CAIPS Premium' costs C$60 plus GST/HST where appropriate and includes everything in 'CAIPS Basic'
plus the following services :-
- we will, if required, additionally send the CAIPS printout to you by fax,
or by post
- we will send your file request to CIC Ottawa by next day XPRESSPOST, and
give it priority at all stages (overall this will make the request 2-5 days
faster)
Please note that no professional interpretation is included with 'CAIPS
Premium' unless you choose our 'Premium Interpreted' service
CAIPS Premium Interpreted (C$120)
'CAIPS Premium Interpreted' costs C$120 plus GST/HST for Canadian clients and combines our superior 'CAIPS Premium' service
outlined above with a full interpretation of your file to assist you in understanding it. The professional interpretation is
typically 1 or 2 pages and will highlight any issues with your file and suggest solutions to them. If you are not sure
whether you need interpretation, you can always just order 'CAIPS Premium' and add on interpretation at a later date.
At our discretion, we offer our 'CAIPS Premium Interpreted' clients an additional complementary file request where appropriate.
CAIPS Interpretation Only (C$60)
'CAIPS Interpretation Only' is a service for clients who do not need
us to obtain their CAIPS files, but do need a file interpreted.
Clients can include those who have previously ordered files through us
and now want them interpreting, or clients who have obtained their files
themselves or through another organisation. The professional
interpretation is typically 1 or 2 pages and will highlight any issues
with your file
and suggest solutions to them.
CAIPS Repeat (C$30)
'CAIPS Repeat' is a special reduced-price version of our 'CAIPS
Basic' service that is only available to existing clients who wish to
obtain their CAIPS file again.
