It happens sometime that eligibility takes long time to be cleared. Usually the application go through the following stages.Thanks so much the link you shared is very useful!!! Am applying on my own, so no spouse details to check.. I was confused because in other places I’ve read they check criminality and security last.. but it all seems that mine was different.. I’m relieved to read thay if they aren’t clear on something they’ll ask about it.. at this stage, 10 months after I keep wondering WHY is it taking soooo long... this is really a patience game ... Am anxiously waiting for March 21st!!!
Thanks Again!
=> AOR
=> Medical Passed
=> Eligibility Check and Criminality Check is Initiated by Case Analyst
=> Police Certificates, RCMP check is Done in Criminality Stage.
=> Case Analyst Comments on your Eligibility, Usually he Approves it or He Say Eligibility Review is Required or Recommended Pass.
=> Application goes to Case Officer who Confirm the Eligibility Status Reviews it and Change it to PASS. He also sets Criminality to PASSED
=> At this Stage 4-5 Months are passed already if both Eligibility and Criminality Check Goes without Review Required
=> If Criminality and Eligibility is Passed, You are evaluated for Security, Applicants are filtered here Some are Selected for Security Check
=> If no Security then your application is Finalised and Forwarded to Central Office where PPR Request is initiated
=> If Security Screening is required your application is sent to CBSA where they checked you for International Organised Crime or Espionage
=> Security Screening can take from 6 Months to 2 year Depends on how fast your Information is Fetched for Multiple Agencies.
=> After Security is Cleared you are sent a Re-Medical Request or PPR Request, In this case it happens after 12 months or 18 Months
That's pretty much it.
