Hi guys! Has anyone ever raised a CSE and asked for specific updates such as application status with regards to eligibility , criminality and security? Do they reply to such queries?

I did just that on Monday, since I have passed the 6 month mark. I specifically asked for Eligibility and the Background check (security part). I think it all depends on the officer who is replying, though from what I have learned from this forum - CSE replies are almost always more generalized than calling an officer over the phone...

So, I raised a CSE on Monday to ask for the status of my file, and the reply was very brief (even though I asked specifically for Eligibility).

They wrote:
Your application was received via your account on September 13, 2018.
The background verifications are currently valid.
The medical examination results on file are valid for you and your spouse.
-----
While MyCIC shows for Medicals: "You passed the medical exam", I'm unsure what "background verifications are currently valid" means (especially since some 10 days ago I submitted an ADR for POF - which seeming had delayed my application).

Has anyone encountered such an answer? Does anyone knows what it means?

Does anyone know how much time does Security under background check generally takes?

I've been told everything in my profile has been approved, only security is left, which is under process. They're waiting for the officer to update he status on the same.

My AOR is Sept 12. Have already crossed the 6 months mark.

Need a suggestion
I received PPR on March 20.
My passport expires on Nov 25, 2019. I have appointment on March 25 to renew my passport.
Can I send my new passport to VO Delhi for PPR.
I would call IRCC and ask them, or you can send both passports with LOE...
If you do call them , can you pls let me know what they said?
I have my appointment for new passport on March 27 and it will take a month before I receive it. Would be good to know what to do if I get PPR while waiting for new passport.

According to this thread here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/urgent-help-ppr-stage-ready-for-visa-but-passport-is-expiring-in-less-than-7-months.550184/

There is no need to inform, just send your new passport with a photocopy of the old passport and an LoE for stamping.
I am in the same boat but waiting for PPR so will get it done after PPR mail.

Congratulations to those who already got PPR :)

Atleast 6 months. However i cannot move to Canada before August and i guess we need to have atleast 6months validity on the passport when flying into Canada.
Are you sure it is still 6 months?
I have seen people saying that on the more recent PPR mails, they have asked for the passport to be valid for atleast 12 months and now people are hurrying to get their passports renewed.
Can people who got PPR mails recently confirm if the mail says 12 months or 6 months' validity?
