February 2014 Applicants

[cjodor]

Good morning everyone, hope you enjoyed the long weekend.

I am confused in regard to the payment. Didn't we pay all the fees when we submitted the application? Why people are talking about RPRF after medicals?

Thanks!

 

[Gurindar]

Right of Permanent resident fee you need to pay , what you have paid is just application fees.

 

[cjodor]

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that

I am afraid my friend , You have a Wrong understanding , In that Case i would have got PPR by now as I am done with both.

I think you should check your sources from where you got that information. I am 100% sure of what I said.

If they were still working on your security they would have never requested RPRF. Thre reason you havent received PPR is because they have different processing departments I guess. Once they receive RPRF and MR, then they forward your application to different department who deals with PPR, and Stamping process as VO has other applications to work on. Does that make sense to you bro.

 

[Gurindar]

Ok , But Background and Security Check are not kinda same , I hope you agree. None of the Jan applicants got official RPRF request yet which looks quite weird to me , I paid it upfront on 22nd August , My friend can you advise How Long I need to wait for PPR ?

Bankground Check Definition : A background check or background investigation is the process of looking up and compiling criminal records, commercial records and financial records of an individual or an organization.

As you insisted me to dig dipper into it, her's what I have found for you

Background & Security Checks

Note: Our Background Check comprises of 2 parts:
1. The Standard Documentation Checks,
2. The Security & Criminality Checks.

Standard Documentation Checks:
Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress". All docs been checked & our NOC being tallied against the MI, if the VO finds our case 'eligible' for Canadian PR, the file becomes 'Accepted'; and then it goes for standard background checks, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc. The VOs have a way with that, they are experienced enough to ascertain the logical disposition of our case. But, if there are any concerns of his/her, s/he is likely to ask for additional docs, do further scrutiny vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 6-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 6-7 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.

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 weeks - 3 months.
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.

hi everyone,. I m applying for BOWP through paper application because I need more space (extra page) for EMPLOYMENT information section in IMM 5710 form. But I m not sure whether I should validate the form or it does not matter.

One more thing, my wife is on Spouse Open Work Permit and I don't know How can I extend her WP, What forms do I need to fill out for her?

 

[CEC_1304]

Thats fine.

You receive MR once you pass eligibility, NO this is not correct , RPRF assures that Eligibility passed and RPRF when you pass background check/Security check. So dont worry you will receive RPRF soon.

Sorry to say but i have different opinion my friend

 

[CEC_1304]

guys, need a quick help. is it normal to get MR and RPPF through separate email with complete different date or both of the request come together. Together meaning not on the same email but very close date & time to each other.

Currenlty i just received my MR and no email on RPRF payment. Saw it on the forum that few of the fellows get it on teh same date or within the gap of a day or two. So just wondering which one is most common?

Please guide.

You are OK my friend , it is normal

 

[cjodor]

I hope everyone will receive it too soon.
Thanks!

Any how you have to validate the form. If you cant complete the section and need more space then write Annexure I or II as per your additional docs.
I think you can upload an extra document in online application, that is what I did and I got it.
If you dont see more attachments then make a single pdf file of all additional information and upload it.
I dont have exact idea about spouse, but I think you both together may apply for Bridging open work permit, just provide employment document for the current/future job in case if you are worried.
Its better to talk with them before applying together. It might be one form extra for your spouse and application fees.
Don't forget to attach your AOR mail sent by CIC.
Good luck
