Hey Q, it's been over a year since my AOR. I applied from Kuwait so I'm thinking my VO is AD as well. BG check in progress for over 7 months. I had no idea my BG is so check worthy..lol . I joke around but I'm dying inside . CSE just gave me a "processing times vary" reply (which s at the 8th month mark) . Thinking about calling 001-613-944-4000. How long did it take you ? Please tell me if it was longer than a year or not, I need to know I'm not the only one. I know perfectlyskilledimmigrant is a similar case but I need to know that there is hope.Thanks!
Thanks. Yes I requested another CSE on the 9th so I'm still waiting for their reply. If I don't receive a reply by the 19th I'll give them a call.This is an awfuly long wait. Did you send them a query to ask where your visa office was ?
You should definately try calling them.
Best of luck

Thank you so much for that message, mate. You have no idea how that makes me feel. (Relieved. ) But now I'm not sure if I should call them or not. Maybe I'll wait. Anyways, I wish you all the luck in the world with your new life in Canada. From all the posts I've read, you seem like a real nice bloke. Cheers, mate !Hello,
My background check took around 14 months, my AOR was October 11, 2015 & I got PPR on April 20, 2017.
You're not the only one, there are many more applicants going through the prolonged background checks [comprehensive screening]. You can find similar timelines in the thread for applicants who are waiting for more than 6 months, there's one for those who have crossed 15 months, as well.
Just hang in there and keep yourself busy.
Hopefully IRCC will come up with something better, soon, to cut down these security check/screening delays.
Good luck!
I would suggest you to drop an email to Ottawa office to check about your visa office. CSEs usually takes longer time.Thanks. Yes I requested another CSE on the 9th so I'm still waiting for their reply. If I don't receive a reply by the 19th I'll give them a call.
How about your application ? How's that going ?
