COngratulationsss LunarNymph .. it is a good news for sure...ur passport should be their in couple of weeks...

Thanks jk45!
Given that the PP is such a sensitive document, I can't wait for it to get back into my hands. Am not too comfortable when it has to travel through the postal/courier system!
By any chance, do you and anybody know which courier the CHC uses to send back the PP?

Cheers,

@ LunarNymph

I think that hm82 who got his wife's PRV in April has the best record to date for borderline 2012-2013 applicants!
Here is hoping that you and our other friends here can beat this record and more! ;D

Happy Weekend

Thanks YogMys!
Happy Weekend to you as well and wishing a Happier week ahead to all of us! I believe that it is the Victoria Day long weekend for CHC. So hopefully the visa officers will come back all relaxed next Tuesday and process all of our applications in one GO! ;D How about that!

Cheers,
LunarNymph

 

[LunarNymph]

Don't worry. I really hope its a positive one.
If it was negative they would have given you a chance by requesting more info via phone or in person by an interview.. so its all good

Thanks for your encouraging words mickeyindia!
My first reaction when I saw the DM was to worry if there is a chance it could be a negative decision. But, once I got sometime to think I figured that I shouldn't worry as my application was complete and they didn't contact me for any additional details or queries. So, now I am just waiting for the post man! ;D

Hi LunarNymph,
Did your application status changed directly from "Application Received" to "Decision made" or from "In Process" to "Decission made"? If it was from "In Process", then when did your application status changed to "In Process"?
Gud Luck to you.

- Gupta

Hi gupta417,
My application status went directly from "Applicant Received" to "Decision Made". The status never showed "In Process" for me, which is why I was pleasantly surprised when I saw DM, as I was expecting to see "In Process".

Cheers,
LunarNymph

hi lunarlymph

i also have a same situation
i also saw decision made today
it was in process for 3 days
but the address hasnt changed

can any1 pls suggest us something

Hi sammy377,
That is great news for you that your status shows DM!
What is your application timeline like?
I guess we continue to wait now to receive some form of communication from CHC...

@ Sanju1986 - That is a bit scary that CHC can make an error of entering DM when it shouldn't be there. I can understand if they are delayed in updating the E-cas since they tend to receive a lot of information and can't keep up with updating E-cas. But updating it prematurely can be so misleading for us applicants! ??? It sucks that it happened to you a few years back. I hope this isn't the case these day!

Cheers,
LunarNymph

Please share your timelines with us?

Hello Friends,

I didn't get a chance to check E-cas in over a week and today when I checked it shows... DECISION MADE!!!! It doesn't say what the decision is i.e. whether it is a positive or a negative one! All it says is that the office will get in touch regarding this decision!

The address in E-cas hasn't changed to the Canadian address either. Haven't received any communication from CHC as yet. Don't know what to expect! I hope the decision is a positive one!!!

Hoping for the best for one and all here!

Cheers,
LunarNymph

Heartiest congratulations !!!

if someone gets ppr, does that mean he or she has cleared background and security checks?

no reply

If someone gets PPR that means their background check is done and post PPR security check is done.

The Process in a Nutshell:

Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >

Stage-3: 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-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".

Hope this helps.

Good luck with your application.

Sure check out the info given below. Hope this helps and answers your question.

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 CSIS, Interpol, 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.

Good luck with your application.
