Dear Qorax,

HI.

I am thankful to you for providing valuable information on the background and security checks of CIC offices worldwide.

However, I have a question :-

If CIC conducts its own security checks in every country where we have lived, then WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF POLICE CERTIFICATES AND WHY DO WE HAVE TO SUBMIT THEM WITH OUR APPLICATIONS ?
What significance do they have in the process ?

I have traveled to countries where I have lived ONLY to get police certificates so i can submit them with my application. I have spent about 2000 euros to obtain police certificates from 2 countries where I do not live anymore. Is it a waste of money ?

Would appreciate your response ... HUSSAIN
Those PCCs r the initial steps towards an in-depth security clearance. The security check consists of two codes... SECCRIM & CDEC. SECCRIM is done based on the PCCs. CDEC is the last straw before stamping the PRVs.

Dear Qorax,

My ecas status shows MEDICAL RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. My visa office is Paris.

What does this mean with reference to my medical exam ( pass or fail ) and my security screening ( completed or not ) ??

Would appreciate your response.

HUSSAIN
It usually indicates that u have cleared your meds. However, your security clearances remains incognito until u have the PRVs.

Dear Qorax,
Hope you are well. I’m a new member of the forum. I earnestly seeking your advice/decision regarding my mistake that i had committed during filling my FSW-1 application forms. Please give me your valuable decision which will reduce my tension.

NOC# 0811 & 7216, VO-Singapore
Present Status: Received by CIO on 03 June, 2011
Got PER on 03 August, 2011

Mistakes:
1. Form: Schedule-1 for Spouse
- Question-15 (Addresses) In the Country Column, my wife wrote “DHAKA” Instead of “BANGLADESH” (i.e. wrote town name in the place of Country name)

2. Form: Schedule-1 for Principle Applicant
- Q-11(Personal History) :- My previous job title was Assistant Maintenance Engineer from07/2004 to 06/2008 & Senior Maintenance Engineer from 06/2008 to 07/2008.
But i wrote in the Q-11 “Senior Maintenance Engineer from 07/2004 to 07/2008” , i.e. full period i mentioned as Senior Maintenance Engineer but in the job reference letter specific period and title i mentioned.

3. Form: Schedule-3 for Principle Applicant
- Q-11(Your work Experience) & Q-14 (Order of Preference):- Wrote job title from NOC website of example title instead of my job title. i.e. my job title is Assistant Maintenance Engineer & Senior Maintenance Engineer
But i wrote “Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor” in Q-11(Your work Experience) & Q-14 (Order of Preference)

i know you are the most senior & knowledgeable member & hope you can give me a right decision regarding my above mistakes.

I will be grateful to you for this valuable advice.

Take Care

Dear Qorax, got the ff response from VO after I made an enquiry.
"Your file is currently in queue to be paper-screened by an officer. Once this screening takes place, you will be contacted with regards to the next steps in the processing of your application".
Does this mean they will be doing background check soon? Mandie

Besides my earlier reply elsewhere... Yes, the b/g checks will commence after PSDEC-1.

dear qorax,

i have filed for immigration through a consultant, last time i went ahead and email VO directly for the status of my case
upon which my consultant wasnt so happy about it, legally speaking, is it okay for me to get the status from VO directly
via an email or my consultant could create issues for me in that regards?,as i have waited 4 years now, and according to
my consultant, "do not send mails to CHC, let them work on the case or it will put a bad impact"
is okay for me to write an email to VO like once a month?


thx

It's Ok to send 'direct' queries to the VO. However, sometimes the VO might not respond to u... stating to come thru the agent instead.
Besides, do not indulge in unnecessary correspondence.
