What are they doing with the security check? Do we expect them to come to our house? My common law partner only comes home atleast 2-3 times a month coz he's working out of town, i hope that wouldnt be an issue
Security checks in CIC terms is them handing your info to CSIS for them to check:
- links to terrorist organizations,
- links to organized crime,
- international human rights violations,
- links to political parties who have been known to attempt to over-throw governments.
Generally speaking, most should pass this pretty easy.
Criminality checks involve looking at your history (in and outside of Canada) to see if there is any, and does it equate Canadian laws. Eg: Drunk Driving.
In your case, CIC could choose to do a spot check to make sure you and your sponsor are cohabitating. These are random, unless someone tips them off. They do happen unannounced, and same day.
