that is very much a possibility because they have to pull out your old UCI number and link all your current details to that number. I think the same thing happened to me too and so my PER was delayed by 2 weeks (compared to majority of the applicants who applied on the same date). But of course I cant be 100% sure that this was the reason.pushpita said:well m 8th July here..........didnt hear from CIC n my DD is still outstanding and vent received my returned package yet...dont remember any mistakes while going thru the filled up forms.... well i was in canada for 2 years and may be that could b the reason that i hadnt got the PER and hopefully they r going thru my background checks..fingers crossed.... but dont know if m still on the que or not ! really hard to wait for the mail !
IF you have not received your package back yet, then that probably means you are still in the game.
