Many are asking:

What is mean by Background and Security check?

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].

Hi Andy,
I submitted AOR yesterday.
Please add me to the group.
(91)7840085052.

Also,I missed out mentioning that I have four credit cards which I have closed today and mentioned this through the CSE webform today morning itself with the details of the 4 cards.

Would these be considered.
 
Hi friends,
I got ITA on 12th Aug.
Gathering docs for my eApr submission. I need to get my birth certificates translated.
The CIC site says , I need to get an affidavit from the translator. Have any of you have a sample ? And the requirements say we need to get the translations attested by a notory.
Did you get the ones notarized too ?

Please help
Thanks

You need to have it translated by a certified translatior, there are numerous services, i.e.http://www.alllanguages.com/ or https://www.taontario.ca/ there many more. Good luck.
