Only visas for certain countries that do not provide any English text is required. Schengen visas seem to be OK and do not need any translation (that was my case).

Unfortunately, 'security checks' is one of those things that IRCC has no control over and until the checks are complete, IRCC cannot make a decision. But you could still try... The company should also include a letter that this job needs the citizenship.

There is a chance they have sent the letter by regular mail. However, if it is more than 2 weeks and you have not received your letter you should contact them immediately. Try calling them early in the morning. Be prepared to redial for 20-30 times before you are connected.

No, they will reroute your application to a citizenship judge which most probably will reject your application...

Many people have experienced this. If everything is good, normally you should hear from them within 1 week to 2 months (by looking at different spreadsheets for Calgary). However, in some cases (e.g. if the security checks are not complete), the time-frame could be extended up to 1.5-2 years...

No, not necessarily. Although, generally it is not a good feeling to be waiting a long time, the residency checks are not normally any cause to be worried (of course if you have met all the requirements and if you have not received any RQs ?). In case of an RQ, there might be some delay but if...

I am happy to see your security checks are finally done. I hope you hear from them soon with a positive outcome.

The best you can do is to conduct some follow-ups to figure out what is the reason for hold-up (you can email IRCC. ATIP notes from IRCC could also help except to clarify the security checks which you can call them in this case to clarify. You can seek help from your regional MP as well). You...

This is really variable. Many cases can take only a couple of months since your file goes in process. For those, the checks are usually complete by the interview date. That's why you can see decision made right after the interview for many people (I am assuming all other checks are OK). But for...

It takes 30 days to issue since you file the request + mailing time

This is absolutely *not true* that you cannot get ATIP notes from CSIS. As a matter of fact I got two ATIP notes from CSIS. You don't believe that? Checking that is extremely easy... just go to ATIP website and select CSIS. I do not know why people telling things to the others if they are not...

As I have seen in a couple of other cases "Case Review, Citizenship and Immigration" is dealing with reviewing the delayed cases due to clearances that is different from the local office. As the ATIP note also shows that I guess your clearances are complete and waiting the local office to review...

You could probably try to get ATIP from CSIS. It is not very useful in general though, but it can tell if they have completed the checks or not. If they have completed the checks, I guess you should expect to hear from ircc soon. On the Ircc ATIP what’s the status of your file? In the “note”...

Most probably some of the checks (e.g. security checks) are pending. Those could take a long time to complete.

There could many reasons for this: either you are in line for invitation due to lack of resources at the office, or some of your checks for eligibility (e.g. residency) or clearances (e.g. security checks) are not complete yet. In some cases people are waiting about 2 years for some checks to...

I suggest you take the color photocopy of your passports. This is apparently required for "some" rare residency checks where the officers need to cross check the stamps with the location in the passport. Usually it happens when there are lots of non-English stamps and there are some concerns...

I think the best is to take the original transcript along with its photocopy and be honest if they asked for the original certificate to explain what has happened. "You may send a transcript, diploma or certificate showing that you graduated from a secondary school or from a post-secondary...

A lawyer told me the 2-year mark is about the time for the mandamus route. It could cost between 3-7K. This however, doesn't include sending one or two demand letters to ircc. the lawyer said each letter costs around 1K. If they do not answer to the demand letters then the FC mandamus would be...

Please provide a complete timeline with dates to understand your case better. eg. the application time, in process time, residency questionnaire time, document request time, FP request time, test time, etc. What is the current status of your application when you login? These are just some...
