Hi there. I had a request to submit fingerprints to RCMP. This request came on January 30 and I submitted the fingerprints on February 2nd directly to RCMP. I haven't heard anything back as yet. I'm yet to see an update on my profile and I was told it should only take 3 working days. Should I be concerned?
Unlikely. The delay will no doubt be a Security check. If you are concerned, you can try to reach the call centre (888-242-2100) and verify they have received the report from RCMP.

Criminality takes no time at all. Eg: I can walk into the local police headquarters and request the same check on myself (uses the RCMP database as well), and I can have the results faster that I can enter my debit card PIN.

Thanks for the quick response as always profiler. Is the Security Check an additional step after the RCMP report has been received? If so, how long does this step usually take?

Stage 2 processing is the final stage before they seek to grant a PR. It consists of:
- Medical
- Criminality (RCMP)
- Security (CBSA orders an intelligence review from CSIS).

Criminality and Security are very different. Criminality is looking for things like theft or murder. Security is looking at the overall security of Canada as a society. So things like: previous attempts to overthrow governments, organized crime, terror, etc.

Duration varies wildly. The number of countries you've lived in or visited, organizations you belong to, etc all effect the timing. It's typically 3-6 months. Usually when you get to stage 2, CIC requests the Security screening from CBSA though.

I received the information below a while ago:
It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class.

Does this information correspond with when I reached Stage 2? Also, do I need to do anything for the Security Screening or is that automatically triggered by my application?

It's automatic.

AIP = Eligibility. Once you pass the stage where they decide your Eligibility (are you a member of the Family class, for example), then yes, that starts stage 2.

Can you log into ECAS and tell me what it says? We saw exactly the same thing -- others as well. They went from zero to landing invitation in the matter of hours...

You do remember where to find ECAS, ya? If no: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en remember to log in as your sponsor.

Also, should keep in mind, that 1-year thing would be from March 3 2017. They have 2 weeks yet...

The "so called" lawyer -- that still cracks me up!

OK, so I am confused by both being In Process. Usually they are mutually exclusive (one or the other). However, it looks like your application is probably at the Security stage I talk so much about. If you want to speed it up, call your "Deep State" friends, and ask them to get Pompeo to hurry and respond to CSIS ;). In all seriousness, it will just take a little time. I am sure you will be done in short order...

Also, Edit your previous posts and remove your name ;)

No need to be sorry. This is typical of CIC. But, no news is good news usually. The lawyer -- don't get me (or @sylvain1) started on that crap. It's been litigated long ago, that *most* folks actually do fine with the paperwork, and do not at all need a lawyer.

Pompeo is the CIA Director. CSIS is Canadian Secret Intelligence Service. They're friends.

In your case, I think I would wait until the year is up. Call them the next day if you don't have news.

I actually was expecting you'd say no. Usually you can't get them to answer. You *could* put in a request for information via CSIS -- but I would be worried that the stationary might contain wireless bugs.


ok so 1 more question,, which date does the 1 year start from?

I personally don't know. They might argue the later. I argue as soon as they received it. That's also how they do WP's.

Hey weren't you up in Orangeville? I hope you're not there still. We (and they) have some pretty serious flooding going on...
