The delay is either due to residency, criminality or security checks. I have been waiting more than 19 months before I hear back from IRCC. If you order ATIP notes from IRCC you can get an idea on whether criminality or residency are passed or not. If you order ATIP notes from CSIS you can get...

You need to first understand what is causing the delay. Order IRCC ATIP notes to see if your criminality or residency have passed yet. You can order CSIS ATIP to see if the security checks are pending. Most probably your security checks are not complete yet. As per my understanding unfortunately...

Unfortunately, there is no timeline on when they would complete the process. However, in the interview day they usually tell you which steps are remaining. If the security checks are pending, the timeline is wide open until they receive the results (IRCC has no control on this). Residency checks...

Thanks. I wish you all best of luck. I am hoping you also get the good news soon

After 19+ months I got decision made today.

Security checks can take from only a few months to several months (occasionally years)

Congratulations. Do you know what was the cause of delay in your case?

My case is over 18 months now. Waiting for background checks. Very frustrating

This is extremely frustrating for me too. I am also waiting since oct 2017. I have passed my test, but an unlimited background check that has not been finished yet. Absolutely no idea what they are doing, and why they are treating us like this...

Congratulation. That was a tough journey for you and us. I am still waiting to get an update after 18 months.

Hello all. Do you know what/where is "Office: Case Review, Citizenship & Immigration" shown in ATIP notes ? It's 18 months I am waiting and in my recent ATIP notes I found the above. The other information is retracted. I wonder if you have any idea on this.

Hi Guys. Do you know what/where is "Office: Case Review, Citizenship & Immigration" shown in ATIP notes ? It's 18 months I am waiting

There is no time frame. This could happen at the same day as your test, or could even take more than a year after the test

This usually means a fingerprint (FP) request or residency questioner(RQ). They usually send the letter by post. For the fingerprint they usually give 30 days to complete and for the other RQ around one month and half. If this is a FP request you should do it inside Canada, for the RQ you have...

Although there is no timeline mentioned, under the old rules the processing time for 80% of the applicants was 25 months for the routine and 35 months for non-routine cases (1.5 time the routine cases). Anyways I hope your case can be finalized as soon.

Yes they accept them. Just take them with you.

These were the old rules, which they might still use them: What is a routine application? An application is considered routine if: we receive all the necessary documents and the correct fees; you meet the residence requirements; you are not subject to any immigration, security or criminal...

Well you can always try. But the ATIP division is a completely separate division and has nothing to do with the processing etc. You could read about that in their websites.

The due date is not very useful. In my case they have changed the due date after it was passed. I don't want to discourage you but I think because there has not been substantial delay in the process ( comparing to the normal processing time of 1 year), the lawyer's function will be somewhat...

Congrats! Do you know why your case was delayed (was it because of security checks or RQ ?)
