Hello Prasamp,

How the bank draft can be prepared? Do we need to put any sort of account number (I dont know whether they have specified account detail in any form) in the FEE payment form or what? I am very much confuesed. I dont have credit card either.

Thanks,

Arise

hi arise... all payments are addressed to "Receiver General of Canada" if you are in canada..then go to the bank and get a Bank Draft or Money Draft(bank might recommend one of the two as one is cheaper) draft dont need account number...just payable to Receiver General of Canada

see this page will address your questions clearly...also if you are submitting to CIO(assuming your a PNP...so you need to send only to CIO)

check the section

Hello prasamp

I want to ask you something though you did not get your PPR yet.
My question is ..... do you have any idea how many days it will take to get PR in the new system (sending application to CIO rather than VO) .
I search in the CIC website to get something regarding this.

But I did not get anything. Did you get anything like this.

Thank you so much.

Well that would depend on many factors (if your file is complete, missing documents, Visa Office etc). Currently, nobody would know the processing time as it is a new process. Also, things have been a little unpredictable and at times random. Please have a look at the google docs excel sheet shared to understand the general trend. The CIO processing itself has added 30-40 days to the total processing time, we are yet to see if this time is compensated elsewhere during the Local Visa Office processing.

i agree with jonMonc here..its difficult to expect PPR now..if i get one then i might get the ire of all those in this thread jokes apart..its very very unpredictable at this time...so much to consider..as i am QSW..i dont have issues in file completion and missing documents...as its already available in quebec immigration post my interview...so federal already have access to my files...if they ask it will be only police clearance from Canada..the same applies to almost all of QSW applicants.. but i read somewhere in cIC FAQ section from medicals to PPR it shouldn be more than 30days..but the reality is i have seen applicants whose medicals updated in Ecas 4months before and yet to get the PPR..so i am really not having any expectation as of now...Ottawa is just helping Buffalo to open the file..thats what my understanding is.. CIO takes the application, do the completness check and then send to Ottawa to open the file and generate AOR and communicate it to us..earlier Buffalo used to do all of this work so to get AOR itself it takes almost 4months (after doing initial completeness) and then they initiate security check and send MR, after we do MR it goes to Ottawa then to Buffalo and once security check is positive Buffalo send PPR so the timeline was nearly 3months post the MR then... but now...

Ottawa opens and sends AOR and MR...even it goes to the next step of initiating the security checks and update the Medical requests...and now it all boils down to when Buffalo takes up the file...if i am not wrong..buffalo is issuing PPR to April-June 2011 applicants(i might be wrong...there are cases where a october 2011 applicant already landed with PR) case by case it differs..delay in processing is directly proportional to the number of cities you lived for more than 6months...and also your nationality matters..some countries have extra steps in security..and if your name matches with the wanted list? then more documents like finger prints will be requested..interpol,RCMP, FBI so many agencies are involved...and not to mention the quota of immigrants allowed for the year 2012, that too play a role in finalizing a application...predictions for 2012 is 250000 immigrants...30,000 from quebec remaining in other categories..so if we fit inside that number we are done by 2012..else 2013.. one thing from the recent process we can assume..we might get the PR by 2012...

thanks for your information.

ottawa will do medical assessment, after that, file back to buffalo for security check. right? how buffao do security check? should not they primarily based on police letter, or do other checks which we do not submit at all?

not sure on that step...does Ottawa initiate the Security Check or its done by Buffalo.. but to clarify your point..security check and background check its two different thing...security check is primarily verifying what you put in your application your not arrested, convicted etc ..for which they use your police clearances..." is a document that certifies that an individual has no criminal record. Applicant and each dependent over the age of 18 must provide no criminal record certificates from all countries where they resided for 6 months or more since the age of 18 years"

but background check is completely different...its involves more scrutinizing of the applicants..it is conducted to check out if applicant or any of his dependents could be involved in espionage or terrorism activities or be of any other danger to Canada..any of you or your family member is part of any countries intelligence wing...etc etc it involved interpol, FBI, and other top agencies..to put it bluntly...they see if we are spy from our respective countries..say if your from India..they will see if you have any contacts with RAW and same way if your from Pakistan, or US were you involved with ISI or FBI etc...this part of the process takes time..say if your passport shows too many visit to different country they might very well doubt you to be a espionage and do extra verification...cIC does have lot of affiliations with detective agency and other associations who does this on their behalf without the knowledge of applicants...after all they are allowing you to their country on a permanent basis so this how the process goes...might look like a movie or so but in reality these things happen..some cases might go through more of this some dont get scrutinized this much...
