In my case, criminality passed two months ago, and next stage, security started one month after that. It's been like that since then and still waiting.... and waiting...

My wish is a lot smaller. Wished they had at least a reasonable quick process for landing inside Canada. Currently, it takes an extra two months+ to get an appointment after PPR! Now, after all these delays, all my visas are expired...Even if they give me PPR in the next few weeks, I have no...

Getting a confirmation reply email from CIC inside Canada, is like a winning lottery. After many emails and additional documents I have sent, they just replied to one of them after a week (got surprised!). So don't waste your time, don't expect a reply. sadly their policy is keeping you in the...

How did you work before receiving your Post graduate work permit? have you had any off-campus work permit during that time?

Criminality doesn't take that long, just a few months. (it seems they give the same generic answers to MPs as well) Criminality in progress at this time means it could be already passed by responsible government organization, but CIC officer did not pick your application for next stage...

Each word of that sentence is important. "Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada", different from "remained", like illegally. (unless your form is different) You can tick yes and explain permanent resident application for example, or the date you entered in Canada, if you are...

Because you have received your medical request a few weeks ago, it means your second review passed. Go enjoy your weekend, you will receive the passport request within the next 10 days.

Geez, You need to be less negative towards everything. because they screwed up things for CEC applicants for our month, it doesn't mean you should start hating everything that government does. Aren't you supposed to land in this country ? The entire process for background and security check is...

security screening is a normal process. many government jobs requires that. (they verify addresses, job history, school history, etc.) Some big private companies also need that before they hire you. They will apply for it to government and the process is 4-8 weeks. (whether you like it or not)...

I said that based on other applicants from my country. They all been asked for additional documents for security check, right before getting PR. (in GCMS everything else is passed) In a few page earlier, I mentioned a link for annual report that CIC releases. I don't remember the exact page...

I guess you are remembering the important part of it incorrectly. Your security check won't start, until you background check is finished. Based on your origin country, you may or may not need security check (+/- 45 days). I know that my security check started last month, which is what kept me...

Are you seeing all these lines in ECAS ??!

Your medical should be valid for 1 year after issuing visa.(Until landing date). They will inform you, if you need reassessment.

CEC category is just one small group of immigrants. Background/security check for any Canadian embassy in the world, and for all immigration applications will be processed by Government of Canada. Unfortunately, officers in embassies or processing offices are not responsible for that, and they...

Believe me, I am deeply in pain because of the delay. My whole life is screwed up now, and I had to beg my employer for a few more weeks. But I don't see the point of calling and filling the inbox of our only way of communication with our processing office. It just makes me lose my calm and...

Don't we send our documents via email? Shouldn't they open, read and extract docs from important emails and send it to VO? Imagine 5,000 useless extra email in a month they have to open and discard, while we already know that freaking processing time is increased by at least 2 months. (they...
