i was going through the above reply received from CHC and trying to understand the final review. earlier i have heard the word "final review" but i couldnt remember where i have seen it. now i was going through the thread of qorax "security and background checks" and there i found it
"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.
so friends i think there is nothing to worry as final review is undertaken only if the security check is ok and passed.. am i right
Mahi
I am not convinced that background checks are the only reason that is blocker before we receive PPR. There are certain cases although similar in nature but have different length of background checks. I have been waiting for three months now and tha applicants that have sent their meds on may have already received DMs. I believe that Visa Officer(s) must be convinced that a case is genuine. Also, there might be different levels of background checks and as for the post march meds applications these may have been eased to some extent. Given the fact that Visa office is flooded with student visa applications, there is a high probability that our cases might be be looked at before the end of August/September thanks to the 250% rise in student visa applications for Canada. Until then happy waiting.
