I got my notes after exactly 1 month.

Your eligibility and criminality need to change to "Passed" first. Then your background check starts. This usually happens 4.5 to 5 months after your AOR date. And the background check usually takes 1 to 1.5 months. There are many exceptions. So you cannot be sure about the timeline.

No PPRs. No backgrounds changed to in progress. IRCC took the week off.

Thanks Petra! Great job!

I used a friend's credit card and it was accepted without problems. I even had to do his signature because he was in a different country.

Thank you very much for answering! Would you please share your timeline? How did you know that your application was being processed by Cairo Visa Office? From your GCMS notes?

My employer got a call on September 6th. Only my current employer got a call. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/aor-july-2016-join-here-t432787.0.html;msg5434447#msg5434447

I am currently staying in Egypt.

I learned today from my GCMS notes that my application is being processed by Cairo Visa Office. Does anybody know whether it is fast or slow? Has anybody had his FSW application processed by Cairo Visa Office recently? How long did it take?

Ordered my GCMS note on September 7th and received them today October 7th. ASSESSMENTS Eligibility: Met Security: Not Started HIRV: Criminality: Not Started Org Crime: Medical: Passed Misinterpretation: Other Reqs: Final: The notes are all old. Last note was on 2016-07-09 (a few days after...

If the company is not on this list https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks/list-of-fbi-approved-channelers-for-departmental-order-submissions then this is scam. You can also call the FBI CJIS and ask them if the file number printed on the PCC is valid. Their phone...

This is good progress. Congrats Mohamad!

Buy a regular inkpad from a local store and buy the inkless pad from Amazon. Send a set of cards (5-10) created using the regular inkpad. Then when you get the inkless pad from Amazon, send another application with another set of cards. I did that myself. The inkless pad gave me a much better...

My application status still says Background check: Not started. But you never know. Maybe it was some kind of background check. The area code they called from is (613) which I think means Ottawa visa office. The officer was English speaking. Actually my employer is a US company and I work for...

Today IRCC called my current employer to ask a few questions (date of employment, what do I do, ...etc). This is a bit surprising to me because I did not claim any experience points for my current employment. I just provided a very concise "Letter of employment" from the company saying that I...

I had to do it myself because there are no professional fingerprinting services where I live (Egypt). First I used a regular inkpad. I spent a whole day trying to get fingerprints as good as possible. And I sent 10 sets to FBI. I was not very happy with the quality but there was no way to get a...

First, you need to be more respectful. Second, employers posting fake jobs on job bank is a fact that I learned about from two different immigration lawyers. Employers usually post on job bank AFTER they decide on who they want to hire. They post on job bank because, if they don't, they will...

I saw how Job Bank looks from the employer's side. And I can tell you that no serious recruitment can be done using such a tool. Employers use it only because they cannot get an LMIA unless they show that they posted an ad on job bank for some period of time (minimum 1 month I think). Do not...

They always give you 60 days when you request additional time to submit the PCC. You can request an additional extension near the end of the 60 days if you still do not have the PCC.

July, 19th update: I just ended the call with FBI. My request was delivered on April, 29th. My credit card was charged on July, 14th. And FBI just said that my response will be mailed out today (July, 19th). I am very worried about whether my fingerprints will be accepted because I took them...
