Hello, everyone.
It is hard to believe but it has been more than 16 months for me since AOR!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the details and timeline of my application:
FSW-Inland
AOR: Aug 25th 2015.
BG Check in Progress: Dec 24th, 2015.
CSIS security screening results sent to IRCC: Jan 19th, 2015. (I knew that later when I contacted CSIS).
Since then, there has been no movement whatsoever in my file except medicals being extended for another year.
The GCMS notes, dated Dec 24th 2015 (the day the BG check went in progress), say that my "file is RFV (Ready for Visa) pending completion of further (blanked) checks on PA (Principal Applicant)".
The last message from CPC Ottawa, received 3 days ago, reads as follows:
"Dear applicant,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Please be informed that we are awaiting the results of some internal processing prior to the finalization of your application. As a result, your file is not yet RFV.
At this time, the processing of your application is progressing as expeditiously as possible. Because each application is unique it is difficult to guarantee a specific time frame for its completion.
I thank you for your patience. Please be assured that you will be contacted immediately should further information be required regarding the next steps in your file.

Regards,

Do you have any criminal record? political involvement in any party? medical issues?

It is really unusual. This is probably related to suspicious info they got on your background. Did they ask for background checks (Canada, US) ? Did you travel anywhere unsafe or do you have any clear political affiliation? Is any of the places you worked at governmental? Did you serve in the military?

staff like that should be responsible for this unusual processing time.

I ordered GCMS notes and got shocked.

 

[mawcanada]

But that's good news, I am thinking of ordering too....but did you hear from the cairo office?

 

[Heathcliff77]

I ordered GCMS notes and got shocked.

Did you since AOR receive any requests from CIC such as RPRF or any additional documents?
