Dec applicants here still nothing. Background changed to in progress early April and I have no idea how long does it take to receive a decision but I've heard still people waiting and stuck in BG from July-Oct 2015. I wish there was a way to follow up but I guess the only options are ordering notes, mp, and sending email. Did anyone send email to CPC Ottawa or case specific thing? Was it helpful?

Hello umanitoba,

Did your ecas still showing "In process" or its "Decision Made" ?

Still in process. I heard from lawyers that followup in this stage is very important than before. We need to keep our record updated in terms of notes and sending followup messages to CIC. Many people don't have any idea when their background check has been started and they rely on call center. I called call center and they told me that the background check has started in Jan but based on my recent call and note the background check has started in early April.

My ecas shows decision made since last 2 weeks but I could not heard any thing yet from CIC. I am December 9, 2015. Still waiting for some updates from CIC my work permit is expiring in few weeks. I am really worried now. Any advise what should I do?


Thanks

Check your junk mail- They should have sent passport request by now. The email is from CPCO (Case Processing Centre Ottawa-the subject line is Ready for Visa. If you don't find it, you can give it a couple more days before contacting them. My two cents...

Hi Amaan008,
No,I haven't contacted MP. I don't think they are helpful. I don't need updates, I want to issue offical complain instead.

Does anybody know how to make an offical complain about this?

It's interesting that the delays are just for inland pnps while other getting on time. For example all express entry applicants are getting PPR in 6 months. The question is that if they can perform the security screening for them why we need to wait this long. I thought the difference between EE and PNP is just when they start processing not delay in each process including security!

I think the security screening delays are independent of the EE and paper based application systems. I saw EE applicants on different forum pages who waited more than a year to get PPR as their security took more than 7-8 months.

It's interesting for you: my friend got his PPR from Ankara visa office through PNP stream (not the EE) this week. They applied in August 2016. Also, I know Iranian students received PPR through EE in Canada in 6 months.

The problem is our priority for the security and also the turn over time from CSIS to CBSA and then final review by CPCO.

Yeah, well I think it's difficult to explain what really is causing the delays. There seems to be cases which contradicts our hypotheses. Either way, it might be easier to just accept the notion that it takes 20 to 24 months for the whole process to be finalized. There is a cost associated to such a notion, but I think it is less troubling than having to expect it to happen sooner but repeatedly getting disappointed.
