Bonjour, je suis mes amis du parcours je vous écris pour demander des éclaircissements sur mon cas J'ai fait une demande d'immigration fédérale en juillet 2016 après obtention de csq et la vérifications de mes antécédents Est toujours en cours depuis novembre 2016 car jetait dans la police et j'ai demandé les notes GCMS et il y a la mention s15(1) est ce que vous pensez que ça va prendre trop de temps encore pour finalisé ma demande fédérale ? J'ai fait 2 visite médical la 1ere ayants expiré et ont m'a demandé de la refaire une 2ème fois. Merci beaucoup pour vos réponses.
Bonjour @La islabonita ,

Vous ne posez votre question dans la bonne section. Essayez plutôt par ici https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/quebec-skilled-worker-federal-stage-after-csq.298038/page-1140#post-7183928

Cela dit, je ne vous garantie pas que vous y trouverez une réponse en français. Et si ça peut vous rassurer, ils ne demande une deuxième visite médical que lorsque le dossier est sur le point d'être finalisé. J'espère que vous aurez des nouvelles bientôt.

I hope you will help me.

According to my recent GCMS notes, I have the followings:
Eligibility: Passed
Security: Not Started (On the top right corner of the page, s15(1) is written)
Criminality: Passed
Medical: Passed

According to my application status on cic.gc.ca, my background status is:

Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

I would like to know my background check is started or not at that point?

Dear legalfalcon

your efforts are tremendous.

I would like to clarify some points;

1. inter-country marriage can be a reason for delay/SS even though you are married in court and from a long time like 2/3 years?

2. how about if a person is having 02 wives? as mostly in the middle east we have the cases. Can not declaring the one wife can push you in delay/SS?


Regards

1. Not necessarily, but will depend on the nationality of the spouses.

2. Canada does not recognize polygamy.

Hi @legalfalcon:

I need your expert advice on my case. My AOR is of 2nd April 2018 and on completion of my 6 months I sent an email to Ralph and as per his reply, most of the members are saying that I am in SS. Can you please give your advice on that. (Email snapshot attached).

As per Ralph:
I spoke to IRCC regarding your application received April 2, 2018.
Standard processing time is 6 months. This means 80% of routine applications are finalized within that timeframe, while 20% take longer.
Eligibility passed.
Criminality passed June 25, 2018.
Your spouse’s security checks passed Sept 26, 2018.
Your security checks were initiated Sept 27, 2018 and are in progress. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.
Medicals are valid until Jan and April 2019.



I got a ghost update on 27th Sep and I thought I will get PPR soon but now it's like I need to wait for another year.

Thanks,
Anjum

Now I became a bit worried. I got two ghost updates without PPR in August.

The 6 months process time starts from the day you passed your R10 and not your AoR.

Thanks @legalfalcon, that means I am not in SS?

What do Security checks initiated means?

Please confirm
If you are within the 6 months processing time frame, you are not in SS. What date did your R10 pass and what date did your eligibility pass?

Thanks @legalfalcon that's seems like a ray of hope.

My AOR is 2nd April 2018 (Which means so far I had completed 183 days since AOR)
IP1 - 12th April 2018
MEP - 2nd May 2018
IP2 - 27 June 2018

No idea at which stage R10 is completed. I had ordered GCMS notes and hope it'll receive till 12th Oct. If R10 is IP1 then I have completed 176 days so far.

Thanks,
Anjum

Hi , I received My GCMS notes today morning after 43 days from my request (Generated on 20th Aug.2018) .below is my status which need more clarification from senior members please :

AOR : 2nd Dec.2017
Eligibility : Passed
Medical : Passed (15th August 2018 )
Criminality : Passed
Info Sharing : Complete
Security : Not Started (Due date : 30th Nov.2018 )

at last page of my notes , seems some thing hidden as its shows only in that page s15(1) at the right corner and in the note of officer written Criminality :decision take , Security : Additional note:etc. so my concern what they hidden for security and keep only space ? is am under SS?

Thanks
