    FSW 2014 - CPC OTTAWA - Visa Office - Let's Connect Here

    I was checking last year's posts in the PhD stream forum of this website (canadavisa) and I noticed that last year starting from January 6th people started getting PPRs. And then PPR requests continued in January 8, 9,... . So I don't know where the theory of "end of January" came from because...

    I can't find this sentence in the notes section of my GCMS notes. Can you explain where in the notes section you see this sentence? what is the status of your criminality? (passed or in progress?). Also what about the location of your file? Is it RFV?

    I have the same situation as you. Can I ask what is the status of criminality and security in your GCMS notes? I know that they may redact information related to security but I'm interested in the number of security screening activities in the Activity section of GCMS notes.

    uwaterloo sorry for the late reply. Since there is no activity from CPC- Ottawa, I don't check this forum that often. I have 6 lines in my ecas, the last one being "we received your medicals".

    Hi Viva, Thanks for being here even after your PR. Do you know what was the application date of your friend? (October or November) Interesting thing about my GCMS notes is that every time I see one additional activity for security screening. In the last one, I had 7 activities for security. Do...

    What is fsw1 and fsw2? I think I saw one of these on the back of a pr card for one of my friends. Do you mean that PhD stream is different from fsw1 and fsw2?

    I called recently (after 11 months passed), first the agent was not aware of 11 month time period. After I pointed to CIC's website, he checked and said OK. Then he looked into my file and the only thing he said was that "you are going through background check and at this stage we can't do...

    Not sure about the exact role of program integrity. my application was also there and now is in regular FSW. I know that some people's applications (specially people from some countries) go to program integrity for further checking which further delays the processing time. Interesting thing is...

    My file was also in program integrity, after that it went to "FSW-REG". Farahnz: What is the status of "Criminality" and "Security" in your file? I think those are the main reasons for this long delay after medical.
