What is different between Criminal and Security check?
Does Criminal depend on PCC? What about Security?
I’m also willing to know difference between criminality and security check?
 
Then, requesting for PCC as a additional document means the Criminal check still not started yet I believe... (Not even in BGIP...)
Too much delay...
CIC might ask for genuine PCC if they assume that what you provided was a copy.

You are correct.
They requested again for original one because it was photocopy one.
Do you think once I submitted my document (I assume that was my last document what they need all because changed to N/A in additional document section), they will take 2 months to review my Background check?
 
some background checks are done in 1 day :)

another thing that's killing me is the security check. I've been in Canada for 4.5 years, having applied for multiple immigration documents: visitor visa, study permit, work permit, another visitor visa. One would assume I have passed all possible checks before applying for the PR. But they still make me wait for this last check to be done, for almost 4 months now since my eligibility and criminality have been marked as passed.
I agree, i am on the same boat... cic agent says everything is passed- still there is nothing!

Bcoz CIO is in NS. and all the file process there. Only for visa stamp they move the files Ottawa after decision made. So everyone’s files are in NS.

I wonder if that is why a lot of us from Oct, Nov, Dec 2016 and Jan 2017 are getting Application Received in ecas from in progress as it has been transferred to Ottawa for a final decision that would make sense what do you guys think?
