NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2015 CIC APPLICANTS

[mf4361]

Hi mf4361, are you sure that inland applicant doesn't need to send out any application for the PR card? If you can, please kindly provide a reference.
Many thanks!

When you first landed, you don't need separate application of PR card, they will send it to your address provided at landing (as others have pointed)

If you want to leave Canada after landing before getting PR card, you can surely do. When you come back, you will need a PRTD or enter by private vehicle. Or else the flight or bus may not let you aboard

Oh man, think of all the time they could save themselves if they just gave out a PR card with the passport and visa.

Mine is in progess since day 1

So, your beckground status is on since day 1 and never was changed? Even before and after receving your MR? Please clear out this . It is very important to me. Because, my is In Progres as well.

Background changes to Not needed from In Progress usually means Criminality Check passed. When it changes back to In Progress it usually means Background check has started. YMMV

Does anyone know if the processing time starts from the day you applied or from the day you get the AOR?

Sorry to double post (can't see an edit button) but just wanted to let people panicking know that they're still within the correct time frame. This is a process and just needs patience, the day will come when you're sipping your first beer as a Permanent Resident.

As a November 2015 applicant I only just received the MR Oct 27th, which means a December applicant is right on track to receive theirs at the end of November.
This is one of the reasons I didn't look at forums during the application, you get your hopes up or more worries based on what you read about other people's applications.
That being said, I'm happy to have joined at this stage of the process and look forward to hearing people's good news soon.

I agree with you. i think we should all go about our normal lives and let this process take it full course. In many application cases, nothing you say or do will speed the processing up, so why increase your blood pressure for nothing.

Like you said, one day we will be drinking our first beer and permanent residents and then even forget all the challenges we faced on the way to getting to Canada.

Chances of getting rejected is very low. (like trump going to build wall across Mexico border).

so Don't waste time panicking or worrying. zindagi na milega do bara

MORE CHALLENGES AWAITING AFTER YOU BECOME PR. ANYWAY.

But the day you come home back from the border, you should have a bottle of champagne waiting for you!

Hey Guys,

Can we make a tracking list with all the dates such as AOR received, MR, Security & Back Ground and PPR.

By which we can easily track our condition. Thanks.

God Bless us all.

Note: Our Background Check comprises of 2 parts:
1. The Standard Documentation Checks,
2. The Security & Criminality Checks.

Standard 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 NOC 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, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references 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 vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 3-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.
*The older system has a queue, thus can be longer.

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.

*Yes, that's how a certain Mr. Sharukh Khan was detained for 4.5 hrs in an US port. He was a VIP, thus 4.5 hrs. For u & me -things could be different.
...
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".
