CAIPS is a computer assisted immigration programme.cant remember what the s stands for!
Basically, it is the record that cic have on you and your points on the 6 selection factors. It is useful after you've had in initial assessment as it will give you notes on your particular case made by your immigration officer.Getting it before initial assessment is useless as it'll be filled with zero's.
It's also handy if you've been called for an interview as it could give you an idea of why.

It took 5 weeks to come through and cost about $25 dollars.
I'm not sure whether it'd be useful for you yet as i doubt they've looked that far ahead if you're oct 05. They seem to be finishing up with 04 applications. Maybe order them in a few months-up to you.
the wait continues...
