Hey thanks. Wow, inland 8 months! That's really good! Congrats.

Thank you for the reply! This was the assurance I needed: "they don't open the request until they're ready to process - so until then, there's no record of receipt in their system." There is still a small chance it may have never gotten there, but it looks like it has just not reached the...

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has had to deal with the processing of fingerprints for the RCMP background check? In mid-May, CIC requested that my husband sent in his fingerprints to the RCMP for a background check. We sent them using FedEx, by late-May, within the 30 day limit. I...

In what circumstances would they call? - thanks for the reply

Hello, I was just wondering, what is the most common way that CIC contacts people? I, being the sponsor, have only been contacted via post. So far, no emails and no phone calls. I don't think I will be contacted by them anymore, but how will my husband (the applicant) be contacted? Do they...

My husband and I were both 21 when we started the process, now we are both 22! I am the Canadian, and he is Indonesian.

Hello again Indowoman, the RCMP is taking around 120 days to process fingerprints :S So, if it does take that long for my husbands fingerprint app, then CIC won't receive any info back about his criminal record check till October. Such a process! I hope all goes well after that though...

My husband is in a similar situation. However, he had lived in Canada for more than 6 months. We just sent in his fingerprints at the end of May, 2010. I hope that CIC will receive the results from the RCMP at least by October! And hopefully after that it shouldn't be too much longer, but...

Indowoman, I have a very similar timeline to you thus far. However, I am the Canadian citizen (wife). I was approved as a sponsor Jan 28, 2010, and my husbands application has been in process since early Feb. So far we have gotten back the photo's and a request for RCMP fingerprints... which...

Hello Boman, I am in a similar situation now. I applied with my husband in Dec 2009, I got approved as a sponsor in Jan 2010, and since I am a Canadian citizen I moved from Vancouver to Jakarta to live with my husband in May 2010 (after my semester at school). I have a Visa for up to 180 days...

Hm, yeah, that I don't know. But, because you are the sponsor, do you even need a police certificate? Your father, as the applicant will need one, and it will need to be translated as well. I am not entirely sure if you do, as I am also a sponsor and I did not. However, I have been living...

Are you in Indonesia now? If so, where do you live?

I see so much about FBI certificates on this forum... Do you only need to submit one if you have lived in the USA? They requested an RCMP check for my husband. Anyone else have to do one of those? Are people using the term FBI for the RCMP check? Just a tad confused...

Well, the application has been in Singapore since early February, 2010. So far, we have received back photos (relationship photos), and a request for the RCMP check (fingerprints were sent to the RCMP just a couple of weeks ago). That is it though, but I guess still better than a lot of...

Halifax-maple, My husband was asked to leave "immediately" last July (2009) after his application for a working visa was denied (because of a improper LMO). We were freaked out- quite obviously, and called Immigration Canada about when he should leave (what the time limit was). They gave us...

Confusedandscared, I get aggravated when they expect us to know this stuff, as if through osmosis. We don't work that way unfortunately, and therefore, it is common we make mistakes, even when we thought it was in our best intentions. Hmm, I have been hearing a lot about CAIPS lately. I...

hmm, your case may be somewhat different. It all depends on what they asked for. In our case, the letter we received (just last month-May), requested that my husband gets his fingerprints done at the closest location (so in Jakarta), and that we send them to the RCMP for processing. Then the...

confusednscared, you are being quite helpful actually. Thanks. Before this year, I had had almost no experience with any of type of bureaucracy. I am only 22, and my parents have always dealt with immigration, government, taxes, moving, and such. So, all this is/was new to me. I have...

Hello again amina, so, by now I have received some info from CIC. First, they returned our relationship photos, and second, they requested an RCMP check. For this, we had to send fingerprints to the RCMP, where they could then put them into their system and run checks(?) This process will...
