Thanks for sharing this information.

Sorry, I have a question here.

As I understand if someone has already sent the DD with more than 30 days old issue date (compared to received date by CIC) then:

1. Will CIC return the old DD
2. How new DD will be filed in respective file, as there is no tracking numbers at this stage?

Sorry but just confused here.,
 
Dear Nirmal

Thats the reason I am puting SAME Post on each alternative day so that people wont make any mistakes.

If some one has send DD for more that 30 days then In that case what will happen??

They probaby wont send your file back to your home, they will send email to provide other DD and they will return another DD.

But this is my understanding I DONT KNOW BECAUSE THIS RULE WAS NOT THERE IN 2009, 2010 AND 2011,2012!!

WE WILL TRY TO AVOID ALL MISTAKES! THATS I WISH SO!!

Nop CIC dont have such time and tracking system to replanish pending document later... they will just reject file as document incomplete if they have clearly mentioned on site and if same is not provided with application in proper manner....

They will ask, in fact Local VO will ask if any thing extra required after file transferred to country VO..
 
Based on my understanding n after reading comments in this forum...initially CIC simply accepts applications, and after few days the evaluation for completness begins...as for last time the window for FSW opened on July 1st 2011. CIC accepted applications and the first set of complete application number came out on July 26th 2011.

Same can be expected this time around too, currently CIC is simply accepting applicants and may be simulateounsly evaluating them for completness. Hopefully, will soon come up with an approx number on total complete applications received.

*May be being Optimistic* (But sounds logical wat say??)

So May 4th is finally here, the much anticipated date. Yet many of us are still quite busy filling out forms, gathering documents and awaiting reports for ECA's . :'(

I created this thread to facilitate members keeping track of applicants within their batch. However I am not very tech savvy, the 2011 applicants had a track sheet that showed the progress of the applicants....I have posted the link below.

Can anyone create a similar one for the 2013 applicants and make it assessable to us. :)

Hey All,

Please find stuf i got from previous year post... It will helpful in understanding of file execution process by CIC.

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 POF 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 3-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.
*The older system has a queue, thus can be longer.

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.


...
The Process in a Nutshell:

Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR/PER+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >

Stage-3: Meds Sent > e-Cas: "Medical Results Recd." > Issue of PPR* > Send Passport/s > Security Check > Visa/s Stamped > e-Cas: "Decision Made" >
*The Meds & PPR are sometimes 'clubbed' together.

Stage-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".

According to what you are saying the first set of complete application number should come out any time now. Is that right?
