KINDLY NOT
THIS IS THE WORK OF QORAX NOT MINE
Though i have made some imp. Changes into this.
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 1-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 2-4
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 CSISInterpol, 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. *Yes, that's how a certain Mr. Sharukh Khan was detained for 4.5 hrs in an US port. He was a VIP, thus 4.5 hrs. For u & me -things could be different. ... The Process in a Nutshell: Mainly for Delhi V O 1 to 3 months
Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check + Eligibility check>
Issue of PER/NER >
Stage-2: (15 to 40 days)
Local Visa Office > File on
Queue > e-Cas: "Received by
Visa Office" > document Check > Issue of 2nd AOR > stage -3: ( 1 to 4 mnts)
Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if
any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In
Process" > Send Addnl. Docs >
Stage -4 (10 to 60 days) Issue of Med Request + PPR + Rf > 2nd
BF'D > 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-5: (15 -60 days )Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at
the POE > e-Cas: "Completed". ...
