Thank you for the useful information! Enjoy your new life in Canada!

Lol i laughed out about the "jian" thing... But to apply a "serious pressure on them" the applicant has paid a high cost, years of following up, cost of the lawyer, and most importantly, the precious 2 years wasted due to the administrative failure between CIC and CSIS. Anyway, "add oil" (you...

The 8 weeks refers to the time they take to get back to you. Of course again it is the "estimated time" (lol). I am not sure how the format will be like. Maybe let's see how Tocanadawego's case is going. Hey Tocanadawego, please update us when you get their reply!

Yes i think so. https://www.csis.gc.ca/scrtscrnng/index-en.php#bm02 How can I find out about the status of my immigration screening file? For general information on immigration/ citizenship/ refugee/ visa-related issues, contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at...

Dear Tocanadawego and all friends, I am so happy to hear about your update! Sincerely hope your PPR will come very soon! I have read through the court cases regarding the long processing time, not to say that we have to sue CIC in any near moment now, but some of the judges’ analysis shed some...

He/she has not got "rejected" though, just waiting and waiting and waiting. Actually I think he/she is in this thread. I hope he/she will update us with good news!

My AOR is Jan 29, I am from Hong Kong but somehow my VO is Ottawa. Yes you are right the standard processing time for the previous FSW is longer than EE. As provided by the guy in the post, the Federal Court considers the case based on the following: (1) the delay in question was longer than...

@Sirgic, I have the exact same thought as you. Have been stuck in the security check for months. I googled about long security check today and was surprised (and horrified) to find this guy’s very unfortunate experience: stuck in security check for four YEARS only to find that it was due to the...

Congratulations!!!! May I know if the PPR came from Ottawa or your locsl VO?

Don't be so worried about that. I have a friend whose VO is Singapore as well, her BG had been "Not Started" from Day 1 until she got the PPR. Seems Singapore VO likes to issue PPR and change the BG in progress on the same day. She waited for almost 7 months, zero update until she got the PPR...

+1 613 944 4000 It is the number of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which can direct you to CIC. Just listen to the instruction and you will finally reach an agent from CIC. The expected waiting time is like 10-18 mins.

Similar case though my AOR is Jan 29. Case still stuck in Ottawa but I am an Outland FSW applicant. I think the most stupid thing I did is I did not order GCMS note earlier (Jesus I had no expectation that my case was gonna cross 6 months). So, just order the GCMS note and see where the...

Congratulations! I am a FSW Outlander from Hong Kong, too. My application has been 6.5 months with BG IP a month ago. The agent told me that my file is still in Ottawa (even though the background check is in progress). May I ask how do you know your VO is Hong Kong? The endless waiting is...

Hey fellow, may I ask how do you know your VO is Hong Kong? I am an outland FSW applicant living in Hong Kong yet the CIC agent said my file is in Ottawa. I am not sure whether it will be transferred to Hong Kong at a later stage or remain in Ottawa for the whole process.

Seems the waiting time haunts both the inland and outland applicants. Once the application passes the 6 month time frame there is literally no time frame after that. This is the killing part.

I did call them on a weekly basis. A few weeks ago one agent told me that they were doing my security check, now one month passed, another agent said they were "working on it" and no other information he could provide. I have no idea what took so long for my security check. I am going to order...

I can totally feel you. My (FSW Outland) AOR is Jan 29 and BG check in progess since July 6. Just called CIC and the agent said they are still "working on it" and no further information can be provided. I just read the thread that some fellows have been waiting for more than 9 months since the...

I really like this idea. Actually they do have this kind of record, according to those who ordered the GCMS notes lol I remember someone said the officer even searched the website of his/her company and recorded in the notes.
