Dear all,


Fortunately, I got this email today from LVO. Does anybody knows how long it takes for them to issue visa after submitting these documents to LVO?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your application has reached the final stage of processing. So that your permanent resident
visa(s) can be issued, you must now submit the documents listed below. (Note that family
members who are entitled to Canadian citizenship must travel on their Canadian passports.)
1. Two recent photographs of yourself and two recent photographs of each of your
accompanying family members. The photos must meet the Photo Specifications as detailed
in Appendix A.
2. The “Updated Information Chart” in Appendix B, fully completed for you and each
accompanying family member.
3. Your original passport and the original passport(s) of your accompanying spouse and
dependent children. The passports must meet the Passport Specifications as detailed
below.
Submit the documents within 30 days of the date of this correspondence according to the
instructions in Appendix C. Please also include a copy of this correspondence with your
submission. All documents for you and your accompanying family members must be submitted
together in one package.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Kind regards,
Farhad

Hi guys.

One simple question to whom got their PRs;

I got my passport back with the visa 1 month ago. I should cross the border before April 2015, as my medical expires that time.

It still shows "A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision." in my ECAS. Is this normal? Is it gonna change as soon as I cross the border and they issue the PR for me?

Background checking cases from prior years - NDVO in particular

Hi all, I have a specific question for those who might be aware of 'Background Checking' cases of FSW 2013, in particular for NDVO.

Post PER some of the flies at the designated VO are selected for background checking. Would be great if anyone could share specific case experience of the same from previous years. Below are some questions that I need answers for:

1- How much longer time did the background checking application take in comparison to the similar date applications which did not go through the background checking at NDVO?

2- Are you aware of the specific checks conducted by the outside vendor e.g. employment reference check with past or present employers or financial declaration check at banks or educational details being checked at universities etc. to name a few?

3- If you are aware of any specific positive or negative outcome of the background checking, please share the same. It goes without saying that I am more keen on the positive results.


Please share ONLY if you are aware of a particular case; guessing generally doesn't help much, so kindly refrain from the same.

Please feel free to also PM me a copy of your response. Thank you for your time and attention.

Cheers! :)

PS - Some of us have had the second line updated in ECAS regarding processing of our application at NDVO from early September but things haven't moved, so reached out to NDVO only to get a standard response (below):

"Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi.

Under Canada's immigration legislation, all immigrant applications are subject to statutory requirements, including medical and background checks. These requirements must be satisfied before an applicant may be granted permanent resident status. In this context, certain background investigations are being conducted in connection with your application. As these investigations are conducted by outside agencies, we have no purview over the processing time. We are therefore unable to give an exact time frame in which we expect to conclude the verifications on this case.

For now, there is no action required on your part. Please be assured that as soon as the checks are completed the next steps in this application will be determined. Until then, we will not be able to provide any additional information on this case."

A few folks are getting their CGMS notes, but it has been said that too might not really give any additional information. Just thought of sharing a few things that we guys are already thinking about.
:)

This is normal. It will remain that way until you actually complete your landing procedures in Canada. Then it will change to "Complete" You have entered Canada at XXX (CIC Office/Point of entry) on XXX (Date) and became a Permanent Resident.
