So who here knows all the exact steps and order in which immigration processes the application? Is the backround check done before the pgr request? And what have been the average wait times from the pgr submitted to ppr request?
So so anxious, waiting for the ppr request. The longer it takes the more scared I get

The officers dont always follow the exact same order for each case, its all case by case,
generally the relationship evidence is looked at first, than police checks and medicals. but ive seen people have these done in different orders so its hard to say EXACTLY what order things are done in.

the pgr is part of the background and criminality check.

Im not sure what the average wait between the two is though.

But at what point in the status are they most likely to refuse you pr?
Would we have gotten this far already?
Medicals redone, pgr police check which they have been waiting on us for over a year now. (they finally got it), and we had to resend his work history and address history part of the application. (this part we did back in August).
Thanks!!!

You have reason to be optimistic. It is unlikely they would have asked you to redo the medicals if the relationship hadn't been assessed - with positive outcome - already (officers usually requests the medicals be redone when they are evaluating the file for completeness). The background check may still be in process but you're unlikely to have an interview at this point.

Mexico VO seems to be requesting the PGR earlier and earlier in the process so that's not as much as indicator. It used to be requested once the file had been reviewed, but reports suggest it is increasingly sent earlier (as early as when the file is received and an AOR generated).

If you want to understand the specific status of your file (it sounds like it's been in process quite some time) consider requesting the case notes of your file via the Access to Info Act - instructions at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp. You should both sign it so that they don't redact everything related to the other person. If you ask for it in e-mail form, my understanding is that it's taking about 30 days to get them.

Hey all -

We are planning to land in Canada mid-May but then have to go back to my husband's country in July. Does anyone know how long it typically takes to get the PR card? Are we pretty much free to come and go as we please once he lands? How will this affect his OHIP application (I understand it kicks in 3 months after landing... or is it after 3 months of physically being in Canada?)

Thanks all :)

What do they look for in the backround check? Is it schooling and such things? I'm just curious as to what all these things entail :) Trying to understand the whole process better.
Our file has been with cic for a long time in part because of my husband. he had a really hard time getting all the paper work for his military card which he needed to get the pgr clearance. This is why I would want to believe that since they've had our file all checks should be completed by now? Would it be safe to assume this? Or is there a high probability that this is the case. In the request they sent us to complete the pgr they made sound as though they were waiting on this to assess our case.
This is what was sent to us:

I am about to complete the assessment of your application for permanent resident visa under the family class and I am unable to determine that you meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

Subsection 16 (1) states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer resonably requires.

You were asked on december 9th 2011, to produce the following evidence and documents within 60 days in order to assess your admissibilty.
*provide our office with the following original police certificates for you:
<Mexico federal police certificate (pgr)
To this date we have not received the required document. A new letter to request police certificates is being sent to you. be informed that you are being granted only 30 days form the date of this letter to coply with our request. Should you fail to present the documentation requested, you application will be assessed based on evidence currently on file and this may result in the refusal of your case.



So what do we think?

im not sure,
in that link it tells you they should send an AOR within 4 weeks of receiving your file. but I know that isn't true, cuz I have seen people not get AOR until 3 months later, or never get them lol.
