Update on this. We received the FBI report today May 2, 2017. The report was dated April 18, 2017. Add 2 weeks for them to print and mail from US to Canada. So bang on 8 weeks from start to finish as advertised from others in this thread.

We just got my spouse's FBI check in the mail. Took 10 weeks from when we posted in the mail and when it was sent back. Now we wait for one more PCC and can send Schedule A.

IRCC website recommends that you request a PCC as soon as possible due to the time it takes to receive it. So, they recommend you submit the application first without the PCC and submit when you receive it from your home country. However, some countries will require a request letter from...

You might have better luck asking the folks in the Temporary Residence Visa section of this forum.

Congratulations! I believe the OWP is processed in a separate office. We were able to link ours a few days after linking the main PR application. Speaking of OWP. We just got ours in the mail today. Not bad considering it was only a month ago we sent our application in and less than...

If you are legally married, she can come to Canada on a visitor's visa the following day and apply for an inland PR. With an Open Work Permit application attached to the PR, she will get implied status and can start working with it once received (approx 3-4 months). I do not know about the...

It is the main background check form. I assume you have read the guide here. But you may have already submitted this along with your PCC. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5525ETOC.asp

It seems to be a common issue that most applicants are not receiving this correspondence which is typically for a Schedule A IMM5669 request and police criminality certificate. What is written on IRCC's website is that they will send correspondence by email or by a physical letter if you fail...

Yes.

In the myCIC account main page, you can link the OWP application but using the UCI number and selecting temporary resident visa / work permit. Follow the instructions and it should link. We got ours to link 3 days after getting the PR application linked.

It doesnt seem like it. You have two out of the six categories.

Send your application to the first address. The Robert Speck address. As for your other portion, I don't understand your question at all.

We tried for two days. The below combination seemed to work for many forum members and is heavily documented. It did work for us too. Identification: Application number + family name. City of birth: put one space, do not type anything Passport: leave all fields blank Intended city to live...

They shouldn't bother you if you are applying outland and your stay is genuinely only for a few days. Then again, no one can guarantee if you come across a border agent who just wants to be difficult.

It might be a bit different from your experience since the IRCC switched to a simplified application kit. Timeline is forecasted by the IRCC to be within 12 months of acknowledgement of receipt for inland with the new kit. After the AOR, they'll get a notice asking for a police check for the...

Case Specific Enquiry. It is done through the "Contact Us" webform where you can append your UCI and application number. Or you can do it through myCIC.

Send a CSE through their webform. That way it gets logged in myCIC and there's a record that you asked for an update.

Are you planning on applying inland or outland? With inland applications, it is inadvisable to leave the country until a decision is made on the PR as there is a risk that a border agent may refuse you entry and thus your application is forfeit. With an outland application however, it is the...

We are facing the same issue. Correspondence issued April 17th, but nothing received. Not even in regular mail. I plan to call CIC tomorrow. Would they specifically let which countries are required for PCC?

Were you able to link the OWP application to your account? The average timeline seems to have been shortened to about 3 months whereas it was right on 4 months in 2016 with the old application kit. Your spouse's should be sometime mid May then.
