1) RC-6262 is the officer to whom your file is assigned to

2) HIRV is human rights violation. Its a part of background check

3) Counterfoil is the visa label to be put on your passport. Depends whether your country of passport has a visa waiver program or not

4) cant say about BFD. Its keeps on changing.
Hi, thank you for your assistance. I am curious about background check and background verification. I did not see even one word about these procedures in my GCMS. Maybe diferent abbreviations are used to describe these procedures. Can you plz advise how I may identify if these procedures were carried out or not?

Dear all,

I'm fsw2014 Cairo VO (PER 8-Aug-2014).

I did MR last July, and I sent updated "Schedule A forms", PCC and paid RPRF yesterday as per Cairo VO request.

1- At this stage, have I passed the background (employment not security) check?.
2- When is the next step? and when to expect it?.

Many thanks in advance for your kind reply.

when file is in queue it is VO duty to check it and no one can force them
it may take more than 60 days sometime when things are not clear and any ambiguity is seen.
When they write waiting for review it really means the same...
just wait, pray and enjoy

Background checks are done after MR? or before MR?
Over the last month I have observed LVO, NDVO and CVO issuing PPR within 2-3 weeks of MR, in some cases within a week's time. So is it possible that background checks were done earlier?

Please check your PM :)

Under Canada’s immigration legislation, all immigrant applications are subject to statutory requirements, including medical and background checks. These requirements must be satisfied before an applicant may be granted permanent resident status. In this context, certain background investigations are being conducted in connection with your application. As these investigations are conducted by outside agencies, we have no purview over the processing time. We are therefore unable to give an exact time frame in which we expect to conclude the verifications on this case.

For now, there is no action required on your part. Please be assured that as soon as the checks are completed the next steps in this application will be determined. Until then, we will not be able to provide any additional information on this case.

Friends, just received GCMS notes.
Eligibility passed
Security not started
HIRV (blank here, nothing mentioned)
Criminality not started
Org crime (blank)
Medical (passed)
Misrepresentation (blank)
Other reqs: (blank)
Final (blank)
APPLICATION ASSIGNMENT: 2016/03/08
ASSIGNED TO RC-6262
I am very frusrated to see that my security and criminality checks are not over as I have been under processing for 340days already.
What I do not understand is if my security was in April 2015 how can assignment date be March 2016? Are they going to give me visa one month before expiry of my visa?
What is RC-6262?
What is HIRV? When it starts?
What is counterfoil requires?
I also could not see any next BFD. All BFDs are outdated. Plz advise
Do you have any online Social profiles like on Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn?

Through these profiles what usually you are sharing? This really matters. There is a clear evidence that they do analysis of the online activities of the applicants to get a preliminary understanding about their views and thoughts.

And also are you associated with a political / Religious organizations involved in extremist/terrorist views? Because this is what triggers a lengthy background investigations to know to whom you are associated with. Because Canadian Government never compromise on it's security measures and they don't care about time in this regard, whatever time it takes, they will continue to prolong until they have 100% clear report about your case that you are not a danger in future as per your ideological views and organizational associations to the security of Canada neither immediately or in future.

Dear nekeol,

Kindly assist in my case. I have priority processing due to Nepal Earthquake.
My latest GCMS
Eligibility: Passed
Misrepresentation: Verification in Progress
Rest Everything Either Blank or Not Started

Due Date was 7th Oct 2015

Yesterday I received following reply

"Please note that your application is currently undergoing security background checks. Background checks are a part of normal procedures in the processing of an application for permanent residence. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act requires that each person applying for permanent residence be assessed in many different ways. These checks are conducted for CIC by outside agencies and any delays that they may incur in providing input to CIC is something over which we have no control. For this reason, processing times are case by case and sometimes significant delays may occur. Once all verifications are completed, the responsible office will follow up with you regarding any pending requirements.

Many thanks for your continued patience,"

Does this means my misrepresentation has been resolved and They had started Security?
I am still waiting for my Medical request.

Kindly provide your inputs.

Thanks in Advance

for comprehensive detail pm me in detail
MisreprentTion is different than BGC, BGC is long process. If there is nothing misrepresent from ur side then soon u will get MR. Delay in MR is better than expiry of MR.
