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".

Muk vai, UCI number for you is different from your wife's UCI. Unique Client Identifier is a code and different for every person even if it is in the same application, eg husband wife having 2 different UCI.

Hi Tanzina, CONGRATULATIONS !! ;D

1) Can I know the MR letter's issue date? Just curious to know if the letter was issued on 18th June 2012
2) Why do you have to close the FDR? It is possible to present FDR A/c statement, and also Savings A/C statement (2 different statements can be presented from your side to Singapore VO). You can close your FDR after you get your Passport Request (PPR). Just my opinion

CONGRATS again ....

Hello All,

I received MR today, issued on June 19, 2012. :)
Alhumdulillah.

I have been residing in USA since September 2010 and for that reason SGVO asked me to send both PCC from Bangladesh and FBI clearance from USA. Can you please advice me how can I get PCC from Bangladesh while staying in USA?

I also know from different posts in this forum that it may not be possible to get FBI clearance report within 60 days. What should I do now? Please suggest me.

Thanks everyone.

Warm Regards,
Shamim

PCC from your home country can surely be received.
Write a letter to your country's POLICE STATION CHIEF regarding your stay in the U.S and try showing him the Old PCC before you left your country. use your friends or relatives. You can however ask your Country's mission in the U.S they might know something.

better call this Number and Ask them if they need your physical Presence to collect the PCC

its called Dhak Metro Police Head Quarter
your country code city code 7124000 , 01191006644, 999-2635

about U.S FBI Clearance, Write to CHC Singapore that it is not possible within the timeframe of 60 days. Wait what they reply.

Right you are.
SGVO might ask for POF anytime.
Usually they do not ask for POF after MR.
To avoid risk, don't close FDR.
