[lecter]

question:


the job that i had for 3 years has no sss/gsis contribution since it was a doctor's clinic (will they consider this?) the doctor told me that she will provide me with cert. of employment authenticated anyway (and she did)
i had few job/ aside from my clinic job since the time was flexible so i had the chance to work in a call center(4 mos only)this i did not divulge in my application....i applied with my gf as common law since we have proof of relationship....
DO I STAND A CHANCE?

If you are talking about people who applied after July 2011, they got in process after Security and background checks.

I am talking about people before 01 -07-11. Thanks

Hi Saima!

Please do not be confused and feel down now. My aim was not to depress any one. Keep your hopes alive and high. What I have said is based on some research but there is no authentic proof of what I have presumed. I hope that doesn't come true and we all receive our MR soon...Thanks

There is no need to feel upset when you are on the latest set of instructions.. you would get through soon and background checks wont be of much length for you.. As far as you dont have a defence background, you are clear..

I m in the same boat, In process since 8th December but still waiting for updates.

Also, one more issue is I applied through a consultant and paid a hefty sum twice and thrice more than normal but whenever I call them the lady says that there is not fixed limit for MR request and you should refrain from doing a CSE as its to early. She also said that some people are even getting it after 6 months.

Really a very very frustarting wait. Anypne goi through same thing please comment. :'(

hi dear,
It s true that we ve to wait but its h time to prey God for blessing.i m in same situation.

Hi every body!

I would like people to comment....

After reading this forum I have reached a conclusion that back ground checks are not conducted for every applicant. I have seen some people getting medicals just days / weeks after going in process and for some it can take ages. I think for those who the CHC thinks are doubtful only the back ground checks are conducted for them. This is just my sole opinion and I can be wrong. Please comment if any body wants to...

Thanks

Sorry, not possible to go by every comment. I've noticed several comments are given regarding the issue. Just writing form my point of view:

Background checks can be done when the visa office received the documents (RBVO stage),even when your application is In Process (getting MR and so on).

In many cases, this check is slight whereas some other cases, it takes time. Perfect presentation of our document allows the visa officer to understand easily and takes a short time on the other hand, in case of the visa officer gets confused, s/he takes time more than the usual. It also depends on the visa officer who is actually checking the background. Some relies upon documents, some may not.

In a nutshell, background is obviously checked. Your documents must be checked and thus background is checked. The difference is here, some files are justified based on the documents whereas some files' background is checked and verified.

Hi!

Thanks for your comments. So you mean luck here also matters and quality of documents. So the conclusion is there is no fix criteria who should be checked or not. I wish luck to every one. Thanks

Background Checks:
How a decision is made on your application

After ur application package reaches the Visa Processing Office [in short - VO] from the CIO, a CIC officer [in short - IO] scrutinizes everything [eligibility check] once more & then begins ur background check process, which is handled by many of the VO's staff, including other agencies.

The IO will make a decision on ur application* based on the immigration requirements at the time u applied, including:
-whether u meet the eligibility criteria for the program under which u applied [ur edn & exp is definitely on their radar].
-whether u have the funds to support urself and ur family when u arrive in Canada.
-the results of ur medical exam.
-the information/clearances received on ur security.

*The VO processing ur application will contact u if u need to send more documents or go to an interview.

Processing times
The length of time it takes to process applications varies depending on where u applied [the VO], how u applied [qualitative & quantitative docs] and the ease of ur security clearances.

U may be able to avoid unnecessary delays by timely notifying the VO of any changes to ur personal info, such as ur address, contact details, or a change in the makeup of ur family;

Your application will be delayed if:
-additional background checks are needed, or
-there are criminal or security problems related to ur application, or
-ur family situation is not clear [reasons could include a divorce or an adoption that is not yet complete or child custody issues that have not been resolved], or
-the VO processing your application has to consult with other CIC offices in Canada or abroad.

BTW, Background & Security Checks will be done on all applications, whatever stream it may be applied, however the outcome [read: speed] of which much depends on ourselves - the way we presented our case file, how meticulous were we to document everything, and our timely response to their queries. Isn't it the same when we partake any project in the corporate world?... do a good job of whatever u do -- that makes the going smoother, easier & faster!

Nothwithstanding the foregoing, a bit of luck does play-up for anything & everything that we do, isn't it? It's the same here as well...

Ps.: This is in response to the OP's PM - thanx for directing me to this thread.

Thank you Sir, Indeed a very informative and invaluable post..+1 given to you already..can't give more before 168 hours...I am really honoured you have written on my thread...

Hi lecter,

The CIC website has a tool for self-assessment that will help you evaluate yourself on qualification requirements. Use the tool to initially determine your chance. Also read all the pertinent guidelines before passing ur application.

Good luck.
