I call their response about privilege of conducting background check is bullshit. First, in my case, the applicant is minor, no need to do background check. But the case got sent to Hong Kong anyway. Second, if they cannot do background check for almost all applicants from China, how come they can do background for applicants from India? Maybe the department think that Indian applicants are more "creditable" than Chinese applicants. Anyway I really think Chinese applicants did not get fair treatment.
I wouldn't get too worked up over anything a call centre agent says!
It is a little strange to forward your application to HK for a minor but probably has something to do with policy. Not " privilege ".
Don't think anyone is more " creditable " though obviously some countries have an easier path for whatever reasons?
Just watch the local Canadian news network and see whats happening here.....Then decide who's getting the " fair treatment ".
Not yet, I am planning to contact my local MP office in December after one year mark passes. But I am not sure they can provide more information other than security screen is undergoing which is stated in GCMS notes.
My local MP office just called me that said my application has been in security check it will take a while.
So sad.
yes, that is what I would expect. The security screen process will normally take 9-18 months. what is your timeline?
We contacted the HK office through webform. Though they never acknowledged or reply, so not sure if
they received or even looked at the information. Just silence.
I'm familial with our local MP here and know that contacting them regarding spousal sponsorship before one year is a waste of time.
They can't make things go any faster.
