Guys,

For reference and information only:

E-petition e-1263 (Immigration), Petition No. 421-02052 was presented to House of Commons for debate on Feb 9th 2018 by Jenny Kwan (MP, Vancouver East, NDP).

Unfortunately, No debate was started on that but MP from Liberal asked permission to hold these questions for time being and moved onto emergency issue debates.

Below is the link to petition if anybody wants to review.

Below is the petition:

"
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:

• Outland Spousal Sponsorship process takes more than a year, even up to 3 years, while the application is stuck in security screening despite the absence of a criminal record;
• Finalization of the security screening is waiting for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reports despite being completed by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service;
• CBSA security screening has no time-limit: it was 8-19 months in 2011 and in 2017, CBSA Vice-President Tina Namiesniowski mentioned there is no time-limit for CBSA security screening;
• The United States (with intensive security screening) have a 180 days policy after which Green Cards can be issued;
• As young professionals, most sponsors have little vacation time to be with their spouse and are required to stay in Canada;
• Sponsored persons cannot come to Canada as visitor visas are rejected;
• The separation of newly married couples is impacting their physical and mental health, putting their family and career life in danger; and
• Women are either giving birth and raising kids alone in Canada or are worried to miss the opportunity.

We, the undersigned, Canadian spouses, their families and friends who are Canadian citizens and residents, call upon the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness to:
1) Give priority to outland spousal sponsorship cases in CBSA;
2) Define a 6-month time-frame for security screening; and
3) If the security screening is taking more than 6 months, together with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, issue a dual-intent visitor visa or super visa for spouse."

Hi everyone. We got PPR but it has no Name, ID and File number! Has anyone had the same experience?
You can see my timeline under my profile name.

Yes , same thing happened to a guy in this thread. Check 10-20 posts back. But email is legit if it is sent by Immigration office email.

Guys, I have a question, is background check for everyone, even if it says NA?
Are they (IRCC) gonna start background check at some point, even after it states NOt applicable in gckey?

Hello everyone. I am back on this informative forum. I got PR way back in 2016. I recently got married in India and sponsoring my wife. Just want to ask couple of questions:

Is it a good idea to do upfront medical or we just need to wait until they ask to get one?

Should we submit PCC with the file or later on once they ask?

You should wait for them to request the medical from your wife. Also, I sent PCC upfront with my application and it still says N/A for background check. It doesn't do anything and PCC expires after one year.
