Hi All,
Found this info in another tread.
just sharing this info as this helps to know where we stand and watz next.
good luck everyone

thanks to the person who took effort to give this info.


I found this on the São Paulo thread: (The person didnt state where they got it from so I can't assure you this is 100% reliable)



Background Check is bisecting in two:

1. 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 spousal sponsorships 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, Genuineness of relationship ,Adaptability, Qualitative, Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate docs 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 by any means and ask for an Interview.



2. Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted or received to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; in terms of, Political, Socio-Economical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc.
This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, CBSA, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the Number 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 targeted countries, 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.

-Results: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. Sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds
-Ecas: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.


The Insight of the Process :

Stage-1: Mississauga: Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to Miss-ON> Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: VO stage onwards: Received Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File in Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+ Genuineness > Issue of 2nd AOR(sometimes) > Background Check > request of Additional docs(if any) > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Add. 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" >


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

Ecas is not a good tool to check your application level but it can shades some light if updated in time.
Thanks for posting! :)

hi
i have complete my file for sponser my spouse..
how to pack or arrange it
fee receipt should be come first?

plz guide me
Arrange it in the order that is listed on the checklist. It is easier for the officers to check that all the documents are in place or not. And yes, fee receipt is first. Then the checklist and then all the other documents.

Hi... I'm september 10, 2013 applicant... Just wanted to know when can i apply for gcms notes to know exactly in which stage is my file... Plz do give your opinion....
July applications are being processed. It will take some time when September applications are started. You can keep an eye on the spreadsheet and this forum and you will know when NDVO will be processing applications closer or after your date of submission. Only then, you can apply for GCMS to see if your file has had any progress at all or not. If you apply for the notes now, most likely, you will have nothing started yet.

Applicant was 39 years and sponsor was 38 years of age at the time of marriage; applicant has 15 years of education and sponsor has done 3 years of college; first marriage of applicant and second marriage for sponsor; native language of applicant is Hindi and sponsor's is Malayalam; both belong to Kerala Hindu community.
****************

But in the application I had given my native language as 'Malayalam' not 'Hindi'. I dunno how they have changed to Hindi. Although I know hindi i am not well versed in it, and moreover Malayalam is my native language.
How can I confirm/check this point? And what all are the red flags in the report? Can someone throw some light on this?
Second marriage and different native languages is what I think as red flag for you... but dont worry prepare well for the interview as NDVO is getting crazier everyday and asking stupid questions... Good Luck !!

The logic used in the excel to calculate the days till DM is wrong. It just takes todays Date - App filed date and then takes the average. Actually the number of days for an entry should stop as soon as one gets a DM and then this static number should be used to calc the avg. This could be done by config the excel cell to stop calc as soon as entry changes to color of DM or DM field is not null.
I am not sure I am understanding your reply. The average number of days field represents the difference between date of the application received by CIC and date of the status changed to "DM". So if you look at, for example, username Sabatour's row, he/she had application received status on 23rd Jan and DM status on 10th June...that's a difference of 138 days...All I did was take the average number of days it took for each month that the file was processed and passport was stamped. So for passports returned in June 2013, NDVO took an average of 139 days to make a decision and give the visa. Capisce? ::)

So many applicants missed PPR requests (PPR email sitting in junk/spam) and sent passport after 4 or 5 months. So you can send your passport now and it will not cause any issues. But why are you sending chat or call history now, did you not submit them along with your application ??

Send you passport along with your PPR email. That will be fine :)

Good Luck :)
thanks for the reply sicilian..
am planning to send the latest chat, call history..all previous chat, call history i submitted at the time filing application..

Hello,

I have been an observer of this forum since I applied for sponsorship of my wife in September 2013 and her passport was received by them in November. I have also applied for GCSM notes 2 weeks ago.

While viewing the New Delhi Applicant 2013 file, I noticed a very alarming trend that I'm sure many people in this forum have already noticed. I have created a table showing how long it has been taking for the NDVO to give back stamped passports. The passports it gave back in June-July only took about 4.5 to 5 months (since application rec'd) to process. Aug-November took about 7 to 7.5 months to process. December-March took 9 to 9.5 months to process.

Passport received Average of No. of Days for DM since
with stamped Visa Application received by CIC-M
Jun-13 139

Oct-13 222
Nov-13 232
Dec-13 278
Jan-14 272
Feb-14 285
Mar-14 274

If we were going by mid 2013 trends, my wife would have been here in Canada already.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND THIS TREND???(sorry for the caps) I hope they speed up the process as its quite ridiculous that they have taken her passport and she can't even travel anywhere outside India for this time.
The main logical reason could be the clearance of back log on account of 7 month long strike. Now you would observe the pending cases in the list of the forum (PLease note that all the applicants are not entered in the chart as many have not shared their time line/ not shared the complete detail or update changes ) is getting reduced. Mostly interview cases are there. You recalculate taking the interview cases as separate factor where you may find some realistic date. You can work out after the file transferred to NDVO to get the working done at NDVO.
You will observe that during the quarter Nov to Dec 13 and Jan14 to March14 there would be marginal reduction due to clearance of backlog. April month onwards you may find it reduces considerably.
