    Yes... France, Italy, Switzerland... no Germany though, but that does make sense they'd all be overloaded.. Knowing this, I think the wait is reasonable then. XD I can probably go on waiting for another month or two without being toooo antsy lol...

    have you traveled many countries browning? I was just talking to someone else who is also waiting solely on security screening. Commonality being that we've both traveled a lot in the past...

    Wow, this is awesome to know. Thanks profiler!! So knowledgeable! :cool: Our criminality check was started on Oct 22 2016 (status changed from "not started" to "in progress") and changed to "passed" on Mar 7 2017. So Yours should be done by now I would think - your notes were probably...

    Thanks profiler, this is helpful. I just went over our GCMS notes again, I can see the VO's been checking the security clearance results, but it was still not started as of October 2016... so assuming they started after that, it's been going for less than 8 months... I don't see labels like s.21...

    Yes, it is the security clearances that's the hold up - consistent with what we see in the GCMS notes... We did travel a number of countries in Europe for our honeymoon... but not any of the sensitive countries... hmm...

    Thanks profiler and kokopelli! Fingers crossed and we shall wait and see. :) Thanks! We're downtown, but my husband went to Scarborough for his med exam. I think it was also priced around there.

    Yup. :( I guess worst comes to the worst, we'll just have to dig into our pocket and pay to re-do meds and renew work permit... and stay put and put all vacation plans on hold until then... And happy birthday Mr. Carol!! Hope the pr card arrives soon!

    I also wonder what exactly they are checking in the background check process. My husband went to college and university in Canada and have worked a couple of years since then, so one of my guesses is that they are checking with the schools and employers - which means if any of them delays in...

    Hey browning991, we just heard back from our MP. They followed up with CIC, but unfortunately have no better news. Same information as we already know - background check is in progress and since it's done by third party there isn't a way for them to expedite it in any way. They also said that...

    We requested on April 21 but made a mistake on the consent form and IRCC contacted us for an updated form on May 11, returned the form back to them on the same day and they sent us the the GCMS notes on May 19. So overall just under a month - although I somehow feel that our mistake made the...

    Hello browning911, we just reached our to our MP as well.. fingers crossed we will hear something soon.. It's been almost 11 months since our AIP and GCMS notes indicate that we are solely waiting up on the background check, which has been going on for many months now... this is getting...

    So great to see good news pouring in... Congrats everyone! We are still waiting for our background check to complete - it has been in process since last July.. Called CIC a number of times now, all they say is the VO is also waiting for the department that does background check to make the...

    Thanks profiler! Yeah, we have been calling them and apparently everything is fine, they have everything, and just asks us to wait... We are considering to reach out to an MP now, the wait has become unbearable now that people after us are starting to get movement! We should be landing in...
