Hi Kevindi888, I am not sure if I get your question....kevindi888 said:hi there Smearingo, i have a question regarding to my case, it is very urgent.
it is been 17 months with my application(i submit in July 2015), the cic have ask me for additional information in April 2016 meanwhile i was in my country for a holiday. After i mail them my file and they hand my file over to Hong Kong
In my case i was using a lawyer attorney, so Hong Kong won't reply to my email and my lawyer have ask them and there still no response.
i dont know what should i do now? i heard it was gonna need 8 months for bkground check in HK after my files gets there. dont konw if thats true
I am from Hong Kong, but I applied for the PR through QSW programme from within Canada (I live in Montreal now).... my VO is Sydney, NS. My file has never been sent to visa office in HK.
I wonder if you mean PCC from HK (in case you have stayed in HK for more than 6 months after the age of 18). Then you can only apply for it after you get a letter from CIC. But I believe it's not what you meant...
I think background check normally takes time, regardless which VO it is --- it's complex process. I have been waiting for some news after I completed medical and submitted the HK PPC and paid RPRF in July. It's been almost half a year. I think part of the reason why it is taking that long is bcoz of the background check.
and based on my experience with the Consulate-General of Canada in HK back when I first applied for the study permit, I think they are pretty efficient.
Edit: but 17months sound a bit unusually long, have you tried to contact the CIC to ask about the application?
if you know any one living in Canada, you can ask authorize them to help you get the GCMS notes which will give you some idea about where you application stands (i heard that it will show some cycles of process with dates and some remarks by officers who have looked into your file). I just applied for mine this week -- it will take about 4 weeks to get them, and can only be requested from within canada...
