Sorry but I don't know what FCP means. I just wanted to say that it is crazy that it takes them 9 months to open your file and not start your criminality check after almost a year, while a lot of people are completely finished having their applications processed in 9 months or less. There is something so wrong with this! For us the security check is not done (says not started, but I don't think this is true as they blanked out a lot of stuff in our GCMS notes and have those number codes on them and they started our criminality check on February 22, 2017 and it's still not done as of beginning of December. I don't know why because my partner only lived in 2 countries and we provided police report/RCMP fingerprint report for both and they are both clear. He never worked for the government and never was in the military and no ties to any suspicious organizations and only visited several countries in Europe for vacation once for 3 weeks. I just don't get why they do these checks in different order for different applications.The only result I reached searching FCP is can be Family class priority which I can not understand how priority if I wait already 15 month what if it was not priority. Plus they take 9 months to open file for first time ever .
Hope someone else have other info on this
Yes I sent my application 26 oct 2016, first review in Visa Office was same day of GCMS notes 8 August 2017 and request documents September 24 and start background checks 8 November. I got tired from them when send to them say is within processing time even it exceeds it.
I guess if not requested the notes will be forgotten until now .
I hope too for this year all waiting get good news , and I not belive they update notes too as they never do thier work correctly .
Thanks for this info tooNot that it’s a difinitive sign, the fact they have extended your medical seems to indicate they are nearing the end of their checks, and it seems likely it’s going well. I can’t see them providing an extension, without them feeling they are going to approve it. Just my opinion.
Unfortunately, they have set procedures they have to follow. In a lot of instances, background checks are delayed at the source (usually in your country of origin or another country where you have lived long term) and has little to do with IRCC.last reply from cic told me all looking in order the visa office say they wait backgroundcheck results. But why take that time even eligibility is passed
