Congarts keviniswaiting,

I am little confused since you have said that "got PPR last night"....do you mean that Abu Dhabi office working at night? so they sent you email/call on the night.

Please advise...

I think the decision is made in Abu Dhabi but the actual announcement comes from Canada through CIC.

Thank you very much for your fast response. I was wondering how long did it take from the time your security has been cleared until you got your PPR?

Thanks in advance...
 
Well im assuming my security got started after they passed my 2nd medical..so around 3-4 months...my security was in progress since march though, as i had done upfront medical, but, they asked me to do it again for hep c delaying my application...im clean as fck lol

In normal case it is taking between 3 to 6 months . If you has stayed more than one country for a period above six months, the processing time may be extended based on the number of countries you lived in.

Hope yours will finish early..


Good luck....

Not necessarily true, I have lived in India, Uk, spain, uae (those ones long term) and traveled like everywhere took same amount of time for me..but i had zero criminality issues
 
I agree - this is not necessarily true. How long background check takes has more to do with your national origin, and much less to do with how many countries you have visited (although there may be a certain correlation if you have been to "specific" countries.

Please guys, do not help perpetuate ignorance and wrong information. If you don't know, simply don't answer.
