Yes, also read this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/enf/enf02-eng.pdf
Page 17, seems that they have sent our cases for in-depth screen to SSIA. If you read the same document that you have sent it said 36 months but I have heard nowadays it will add 6-12 months more because it's the most unnecessary process specially for us in Canada with valid permit and visa. For some countries, this year they have sent all the cases. We can write a request and sign it and send it to the PM. The same thing happened when the processing time for spousal sponsorship was around 24 months, they complained together and recently they reduced the processing time to 12 months. I called CIC and they told me no due date!
Thanks unmanitoba for this good information, I am outland in my 19 months of waiting
here is my timeline;
App received 14 Sep 2015
AOR 3 Dec 2015
Med Request and RPRF : 22 Jan 2016
waiting so long until medical almost expired, thanks to them they extended my medical until Dec 2017 without redo it.
Moreover, maybe this notes could help you to solve the buzzle:
I linked my application to GCkey on 6 May 2016 and since then my background is in progress
I ordered my last GCMS Noted and on the activity of security screening they hide the date of beginning.
Could you please tell me if you know usually when they start the security screening in all applications.
Thanks so much in advance, good luck and all the best for all of us.
