Something funny I'd like to point out:

The number of CEC application received over the cap has never been updated again - 3,586 / 8,000. Have they abandoned us? :-[

With the processing time increasing to almost 84 days for issuing AOR (August CEC Spreadsheet) I would say CIC has definitely sidelined CEC applicants if not totally abandoned us.

Also, if you check the FSW timelines.. it seems they are getting landed within 6 months this year and CEC is getting more and more delayed. Ideally should have been the other way around. have we ruined our chances by having a Canadian experience?

With the upcoming holiday season, CEC processing is likely to slow down further.

Any idea if May 2014 candidates received their MR? Then comes June and July..I guess Feb/March is an optimistic timeframe to expect MR. Any comments?

Hello, How to check the status of the BOWP applied by paper ?

Regards,

Kumar.

I dont think there is any way. I applied on Aug 19th and after around 70 days i found the wp mailed to me. Indeed a fine day it was!

When i applied for CEC, i had the finger prints and police record check from Canada but not original one from Pakistan, But my family back home had received it so i sent a color scanned copy of Pakistani PCC along with my application. Additionally, i also wrote a letter mentioning i have not received the PCC from pakistan physically thus attaching a scanned copy. I did also have a 3 yrs old PCC from Pakistan which i sent original. So in short, i sent below docs:
1) Original finger prints and PCC from Canada
2) Original PCC from Pakistan issued in Nov 2011. (I have been in Canada since Dec 2011 and only had a 3-week vacation in Pakistan this year July)
3) Scanned color copy of new PCC from pakistan.

Should i sent the new original one by mail or should i wait for CIC to request the document?

Hi,

Send the original new PCC to CIC now as the PCC cannot be more then 3 months old at the time of submission and you never know when CIC will decide to ask for it.

 

[mesumrizvi]

Are you sure about 3 months? I thought it was 6 months? I got mine in Sep 14 but it was issued in August so its already past 3 months

Also.. i have a colleague at work and she also applied for CEC and she wrote a letter similarly and later they didnt even ask for a PCC. She did not even send a copy earlier.. now she has her PR

Here is the link:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp

Here is the extract:

Who needs a police certificate?

In general, you and all the people in your family who are 18 or older need to get a police certificate. You must get one from each country or territory where you have lived for six or more months in a row since the age of 18.

The certificate must be issued no more than three months before you apply.

If your certificate is in a language other than English or French, send it when you apply, along with the original copy of a translation done by a certified translator.
