Is there anyone who has a good information on why Outland applicants, October AOR 2017 - December, are not getting MR ? Only inland applicants are getting MR and happy for them . But we need to know why the delays for Outland applicants. No FT no MR


You are right, AOR OCt 03/2017, still no MR , hope they will consider us soon

My views may be wrong-
AOR Jan18 onwards will get MR soon. No file transfer mail will be send as all the files are finalised within Canada. No inland Outland, MR will be coming soon within 100 days of AOR. And once MR cleared PPR and visa in 30-40 days. Do not compare with 2016-17 applicants as timelines are different.

Many AOR 2018 applicants are getting MR within 100-110 days of AOR mainly inland. I may be wrong but if it's true you will be getting the MR soon keep updating and I strongly feel in absence of FT outland applications are processed in Ottawa or Nova Scotia as inland application

Background & Security Checks

Note: Our Background Check comprises of 2 parts:
1. The Standard Documentation Checks,
2. The Security & Criminality Checks.

Standard Documentation Checks:
Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress". All docs been checked & our NOC being tallied against the MI, if the VO finds our case 'eligible' for Canadian PR, the file becomes 'Accepted'; and then it goes for standard background checks, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc. The VOs have a way with that, they are experienced enough to ascertain the logical disposition of our case. But, if there are any concerns of his/her, s/he is likely to ask for additional docs, do further scrutiny vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 3-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.
*The older system has a queue, thus can be longer.

Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; vis-a-vis, Political, Socio-Econmical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc. This gets us the SDEC, CDEC & SECCRIM.

This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the No. of countries visited, Applicant coming from 'certain' countries, ex-Servicemen [including Law Enforcement services], Prolonged stay in a country w/out sufficient docs to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations, your *Name (?), Inter-Religion/Nationality Marriages etc.

If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage. If there are any 'red flags', our case goes into a 'spin'. Then our file might go to the local Police/CID agencies; the outcome/timeframe of which is beyond the control of CIC. And thereby the timeframe can be anything [sometimes beyond 1yr]. But, usually this stage should be over by 5 months max. However, a point to be noted is that we can also be called for an Interview [at this stage], due to this reason.

-Culmination: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. [With new system, sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds]
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.

*Yes, that's how a certain Mr. Sharukh Khan was detained for 4.5 hrs in an US port. He was a VIP, thus 4.5 hrs. For u & me -things could be different.
...
The Process in a Nutshell:

Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >

Stage-3: Meds Sent > e-Cas: "Medical Results Recd." > Issue of PPR* > Send Passport/s > Security Check > Visa/s Stamped > e-Cas: "Decision Made" >
*The Meds & PPR are sometimes 'clubbed' together.

Stage-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".

Hello everyone!
Below is my timeline for Paper Based Inland
Application recieved: Jan 15 2018
AOR: Feb 20th 2018
Waiting for next step.......
Has any 2018 applicant received MR at all??
 
Most of us Jan-Feb AOR may get the MR by end of May and PPR within 40 days of MR.
Based on the fact that since January 2018 overall time taken for nomination, AOR, medical, PPR has been reduced compared to 2017. Also no more FT is a boon to some of us. In absence of FT processing time may depend on case to case basis considering factors such as officer assigned, country of origin, previous travels, PCC, province nominated and most importantly our luck
 
My views may be wrong-
AOR Jan18 onwards will get MR soon. No file transfer mail will be send as all the files are finalised within Canada. No inland Outland, MR will be coming soon within 100 days of AOR. And once MR cleared PPR and visa in 30-40 days. Do not compare with 2016-17 applicants as timelines are different.

Thank you. appreciate your fedback
