Does anyone feel they over analysis the background checks? Considering we have to go through a similar(?) process when we become permanent residents?
I say this as my file too is stuck IP since Oct/Nov 2016 due to the prohibitions check. I am a July/Aug 2016 applicant.
My application is at the Hamilton office too.
I have applied back in (late) July 2016, completed my test on 20th Oct 2016 and my application is still in process. It been almost 7 months since my test. And there have been no updates since.
The Hamilton office has been really slow for me and...
I have been 'In Process ' since Oct 24th, 2016.
I called them after 6 months and all they say is that the application is still within the 12 month timeframe. I've applied in July 2016.
I was told by the Hamilton office that I should be getting my oath invite in about 1 month back when I completed the test in Oct 2016. Still haven't gotten the invite.
I would advise you to update your current mailing address on e-Cas and follow up by contacting IRCC to confirm the changes. e-CAS may not update when you do get your oath invite, but they will mail you the documents.
I haven't got a RQ or Fingerprints. When I call CIC on the 1-888 number, they informed me that my documents and application are complete. just the security/background checks are remaining.
