The anatomy of a Background Check? - <<<<<<IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS>>>>>>>

[Narimane]

Hello there,

Thank you for your post. I have a question regarding my work permit application. I applied on July 5th and submitted my biometrics on Aug1st. According to CIC website, the timeline for getting the approval is 3 weeks ( I'm applying from the US). Since I exceeded the timeline stated online, I called IRCC for clarification and seemingly my eligibility passed and my application is currently undergoing background check. I was told that travel history helps a lot. Does that mean that it won't take a long time to get the approval?

Thank you!

I have been getting questions on what happens in a BGC a lot in the last few months. Even though in my post, “[A]natomy of an application” available on many threads, I do discuss this briefly, but I felt there was a need for a more exhaustive post. This post in no way accurately depicts the procedures adopted by the CSIS, Canada’s premier security agency, as their procedures are highly confidential and will never be made public. However, this post is an amalgamation of the information publically available, and my personal experiences with working for the governments and law enforcement agencies in different countries.

Guys my Security status changed to in progress by CBSA, any idea how much more time it takes from the date of this status update based on other applicants experiences and past trends?

How many activities under security screening do you have now? Thanks.

 

[rivertosouth]

previously it was 1 security and 3 SS. Latest was '' received by CBSA''.
Now I have 1 security and 4 SS. Latest is '' in progress by CBSA ''.

I have 4 activities under SS and no news since June.

@legalfalcon I called the cic yesterday. He said my eligibility has passed and the now undergoing the security check. Do I need to order the gcms notes to know whether I was in security screening? Or should I wait for longer? My AoR is July 5th 2018. Thanks.

 

[huzm]

wait longer.
wait 3 months from time your SS started

But I am not in SS yet.

As soon as an officer reviews the file, you should have the PPR. However, in some cases PPR are sent in batches, so you may have to wait fot the next batch. Usually 1-3 weeks.

It means they send remedical after security is done? In my gcms printed on 19 july it says not started.

How did your meds expire? They are valid for a year. If you got the meds done long ago, and they expires, your security will not start until the re-meds are cleared.

Sir 1 last question sorry for asking so much. What do you think security is done or still pending? And what is final review? @legalfalcon
