@robertp & @YULIA-2016 Hi, reporting our progress to be added to the tracker please. Sponsoring Parents Country of Citizenship: China Province: ON Invitation Received on Apr 25, 2019 Appl received: May 17, 2019 Received letter indicating incomplete package (missing 2 signatures): July 15, 2019...

Thanks profiler for all your help in this! :) Here's my timeline: 01/2016 - Application Received 03/2016 - AOR 07/2016 - SA and AIP (1 week apart) 07/2016 - Upfront medical sent and received 08/2017 - Contacted CSIS directly to request into the status of security screening 08/2017 - DM on...

Thanks everyone! Hi kimjae11, you can find the instructions for making the request here: https://www.csis-scrs.gc.ca/scrtscrnng/index-en.php#bm02. You need to write a request letter with the information they need and then fax/mail to them. It will take them up to 8 weeks to respond - we...

Hi everyone, my husband landed on Monday. Yay! Just wanted to update regarding the CSIS request - we heard back from them yesterday. Apparently our security screening started in October 2016, we made our request early August and they completed security screening around 2 weeks after receiving...

Our security screening started before Oct 2016, and has taken over 10 months. Given DH's background, it just didn't make sense why it would take so long, so we wanted to get a better idea on the status of the screening progress. Our lawyer also suggested to contact them since security screening...

We've come to accept that CIC works in unpredictable ways... How long have you been waiting on security screening? Hope it will come through soon!!

Lol, no, our case should really fall into the simple case category... DH has been in Canada before he turned 20 and has been in school for a number of years and went into work directly after (in major banks). All these years never leaving Canada for more than 30 days in a single trip and has...

I don't really think our time to DM (from AIP) is normal, so don't let it stress you out! I see in the GCMS notes that RCMP check was done by 10/2016, criminality check started in 10/2016 and completed in 03/2017. Security should have started before 10/2016 from the order of the updates shown in...

Thanks! and no, I don't see any queue for review in our gcms notes (we requested notes back in May this year). Thanks kimjae11! Detailed timeline of all actions here: 01/2016 - Application Received 03/2016 - AOR 06/2016 - Requested and submitted IMM5669 & IMM5406 06/2016 - Submitted...

Saw PR side DM'd this morning! Were they waiting for us to submit a OWP application before they were willing to give us a DM? LOL

Thanks profiler! I also noted that spousal OWP is not on this list, but we are not applying for bridge open work permit, so this shouldn't affect our status. DH checked with his employer, they said as long as he apply for his spousal OWP before the expiry, it will be fine - MP office also told...

Just checked with our lawyer, he said that there is open vs closed work permits, and under open work permit, there are specific categories such as the post graduate work permit... So holding a pgwp will still have implied status as long as we renew before the expiry date (phew). In any case, we...

Hm... I think that's only the case if we were applying for a different category of permit (i.e. was on work permit, and applying for study permit)? As long as it was a work permit, and we apply for a new work permit, implied status will be in effect I believe. Quickly checked on the CIC website...

Thank you profiler! By can't keep working via the bridge time, do you mean that he can't work after the PGWP expires and before he receives the spousal OWP? Yikes, we barely have 2 months then...

It's from another program (PGWP).. Thanks profiler!

Hi everyone, just wondering for those who have obtained AIP status, is the work permit renewal done online through MyCIC under "Extend your work permit - Bridging open work permit"? This seems to be the only logical one (says it's for permanent resident applicants), but the page does not say...

Congrats everyone with progress on your files!! And I just wanted to pop in and give an update... Or a lack of... So we just found out that you can request into the status of the immigration screening file from CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) by sending them a request with a...

Hey browning, thanks for the tip! Yes, we're in the GTA - did the phone call come before the change in status on ECAS? I will tell my husband to be more mindful of his phone haha!

Expiring July 31 as indicated on the GCMS notes. Not much time left unfortunately.. Contacted our MP back on June 8th, they got back to us within just a few days, noting that security screening is done by 3rd party and they can't help in getting more information either.. Thank you for your...

Unfortunately no... we are still waiting on background check... :( Thanks browning!! We are just praying that we will hear something before medical expires.. *fingers crosssed*
