Hi, Canada_4Ever,
Please see below an excerpt from Qorax post, I hope this would be helpful to you in understanding the whole 'Process'. Wish you goodluck for PPR.
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. (Only for MI2 & MI3)

Dear MR. Qorax and Friends
I h
ave received my Caips Notes which I had order on 1st Nov and 9th Nov I got letter requesting from CHC London for RPRF and Medicals.
Both above sent to CHC London last week and I am surprised to see Caips Notes that my BDEC Still blank !!!! No 0 or 1 its just nothing !!! only PSDEC 1 DT 22-6-2012 and SELDEC 22-6=2012.
Please advice the above as I was having impression after getting Medical that my B/C is over !! But i think this is not the case and I am scared that this is gonna take more time then what i was assuming after sending my RPRF and Medicals.
Thanks for your input!
