Hi Qorax,

Could you please advise on this.
Me and my wife are on QSW stream. In May 2012 the ecas turned to "in process". After that they asked for my wife's FBI. We did not submit it with the application because she had been in the states for less than 6 months that time. Now It is more so we sent the FBI clearance months ago. I emailed Ottawa due to Buffalo closure and they said: "You application has been verified and is currently in process. We have received your spouse's FBI certificate and are currently working on security checks. The delay on the website is approximate (15 months) and starts from when we receive your application".
Do you know when this security check started and how long it may take as status may expire in few weeks?

Thank you
Please advise..

Usually that e-Cas signifies that ur b/g & security checks stand completed... and ur PPR would be arriving anyday.

You are very welcome.

Basically same BS you are coming from you can apply to Canada and get the picture.
The CIC bureaucrats have no greater competence or zeal for work than their Pakistani counterparts, with only difference being in Pakistan you can probably give few goats in exchange for expedited processing of your inquiry but in Canada only highly positioned crooks can afford bribing officials and get them do their bidding fast (which they nicely call "lobbying" for "interests").

Good luck.
What a pragmatic opinion with eloquence! I love it really.

Dear sir qorax,
I made inqury to chc and they reply me this Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi .

We acknowledge that our office has received your original passport(s) and right of lending fee for this application.

Due to the high volume of correspondence received by this office, it generally takes several days following receipt to process passports and place them on file. The file is then directed to the attention of a processing team for a review to take place to ensure all requirements have been met for the application to move to the next steps in processing.

This file is currently pending review by the responsible processing team and a decision by the officer. As soon as that review has taken place, our office will contact the applicants if any further documentation or information is required.

Please note that all statutory requirements must be met before we can issue visas. We therefore cannot provide you with a precise date by which this application will be finalized and the passports returned. Your continued patience is appreciated. Rest assured that we give the highest processing priority to cases which are ready for visa issuance for which passports have been submitted. Until we contact the applicant or authorized representative, either to request additional documents or information or to return the passports, we will not be able to respond to further enquiries.
So please. Reply me how long I have to wait for my pp with visa
My time line is I did my medical on 28 feb 2012 and send pp on 15 march with Pcc so please advise me

That is definitely "Initial Review". And if it wasn't finished and you didn't get to "In Process" then your application (as pre-February 2008) will returned and refunded.

Did you send your passport to them by your own self? or did they ask you to send it?

Because as i can understand, they may ask you for more requested documents, which mean the file still in process.

So how come, they asked you to submit your passport ? and they still need more clarifications and documents
