I am Jan 11th applicant and my back ground check status changed to in progress in mid April and no more change so far.
Nazanin i was just talking to another Persian guy like us who applied in Nov 2015 and got his passport request on early March 2016! So good news is that security check for us is not really long and we may expect some good news tomorrow right near the 16 month period!
 
Hi everyone the email they are gonna send us is sth like "CPOC-Final R" as the sender's email address, just asked somebody who got it. Just keep looking in spam folder.
 
PPR on may 18th
Docs sent to cic 19th
Cic received docs 24th
I still have not received the landing paper yet. So frustrating...

Hi Reza, Iranian inland applicants are mostly waiting for a long time. Most people have been waiting since July 2015. Currently background check is between 6-12 months.

Hi there, well actually you are partially right, it seems to depend on individuals with unique resumes. Persians who are suspected to have worked for government are gonna be delayed apparently. I on the other hand never worked for government and neither my friend did who waited only 16 months. He told me today Im sure he is right.
 
How much time it takes to get our passport back from Ottawa...Any one knows....What we will get back just visa on passport of anything else...
 
I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some insight. I am a March 3rd applicant and my CIC account updated today. They are requesting additional documents? What could they be? When I called CIC last week, they said that all had been passed and cleared. They are waiting on the security screening to be processed.
 
Hi, will you try to contact local MP to help you? I plan to do so but I do not know where to find the right person.

So what were changed on your account?
 
I asked one of my friend who is a March applicant and got PPR before me. She shipped the PP on monday and reached them on wednesday. The visa was stamped on the Friday the following week and she got the passport on the following monday. So overall 14 days to get the PP back with visa and COPR.

Another thing to consider if where you reside as this will add on to the delay for ex. if your PP is coming from Alberta there will be added transit times.

My profile says the same thing but when i called them yesterday, i was told they have all the documents they need from me. Must be a bug.
