8 months passed and no reply for security check

[Firasewar]

Dear,

Is it normal to a sponsorship file to take 8 months and more of security check verification?

Thank you,
Firas

I know people who had that happened to them.
They weren't contacted for a year after background check started.

They applied April 2016 inland.

What are your timelines? Inland or outland?

A lot of the delays result from slow responses from organizations outside Canada. The application won't be finalized until they are completed.

Actually, I am living now outside Canada in Lebanon and My wife in Montreal, I firstly applied on Dec 2015, They start processing on 20/May/2016, I have an interview on 1 June 2016 for the reason that they lost my file as they said, I have the second interview on Nov/2016.
The Security Check began on Dec 2016 and till the moment no response.

The question is that they requested for the RPRF fees about 20 days ago while we are waiting for the verification, is this a sign to have the visa soon?
Second, I have traveled before to three countries (Kurdistan/ Turkey and Jordan), Is this may be a cause for the security check to be delayed more?

Knowing that every time we send an email, they reply that still pending verification and they understand my patience.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards
Firas

Thanks God, my security verification has finished today after 8 months of waiting from Lebanon, but they wrote in the Email, "sec to be passed then ready for RFV", so please can you guide me what this means and how much it may take time?

Is it Second to be passed in the security check and be Ready for Visa? or something like this

 

[Nakaa]

Wow Congrats bro. RFV (Ready For Visa), i think you should bear a little more time to remedical and get your passport request letter thereafter.

But mine is still pending.
