Dear Qorax

We have received MR, PCC and RPRF request from VO-London. We are in Abu Dhabi, however my Son is in UT-Waterloo-Studding Engineering. I would request you to recommend Designated Medical officer for his medical check-up in waterloo/Kitchener Area or in Toronto.

Also, recently I received CAIP note, it was mention in reviewing visa officer note that. RCMP for him is required. However with MR & PCC request they have not mentioned to provide RCMP. Please note that with PR application we submitted his RCMP from Canada. My consultant is of opinion that his RCMP is not required. To avoid any delay in further processing, shall we submit his RCMP even though it is not asked by the Vo.

Thanks in advance and appreciate your early response

Dear all

I ve put some of my quaries on this forum under Mr.Qorax topic. But i ve never recieved the answer to my question from our so called VIP member or captain qorax. Also, i believe replies and answers supplied by these VIPs are solely their personal opinions and guessings. It doesnt carry any authenticity and creats more confussions to applicants. So we most believe authentic sorces rather than speculation and bluffs. Wish you all the best. God bless all of us

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".

Hi
If you are not getting the answers according to your taste ..then it is your problem...The advise is given for free and upon request you want to take it.. take it ..if you dont want dont take... Please don't post like this....let other hundreds of other members get benefited...if you want authentic information better join CIC.(that would only be the authentic source..though I dont agree on that)
Believe me GOD never BLESS thankless people...
Good luck and All the best ...search your answers elsewhere...

This isn't abnormal, happens all the time...
With the new addition of family member - we r supposed to send that IMM008, however for system integrity reasons the VO could ask u to submit all, or some of, the apps forms once again. Especially now that the 008 is digitalized - it needs a re-feed with every change of info. Thus, your IO asked u for those again.

Pls submit them asap... and within a few weeks u could hear from them.

2. Sometimes if the PCCs r older than 1yr [as being submitted during initial apps] could be asked again. Yes, u should send the fresh RCMP report once again.
