Hi Bajan4Quebec
My application was received on 16 march 2016.
Request for medicals and payment RPRF on 27.07.2016. I have done and passed my medicals on 5 august 2016.
During the month of march 2017 my GCKey was changed as below.
my Background check was "IN PROGRESS" before 6 march. After 6 march with new format was "we are PROCESSING your bc". Now since 29 march my bc is "NOT APPLICABLE"
but since 1 march my police certificate has expired because I am in 13th month of federal stage
My VO is Rome and this office has finished and approved applications which are sent after my application during may -june 2016.
I don't understand what problem has with my application :'(
Hey es
I cannot imagine how it would feel to apply and see others that came after you get through before you. If I can offer any hope, our applications are done on a case by case basis and it depends on the person reviewing your file and they may be taking longer with yours because of the amount of applications before them, or they may have instructions to hold on certain applications, or your application maybe a little complex with different addresses or gaps in your activity history - whatever reason. I do not suspect that anything is wrong with your file or they would've told you before they even asked for medical, they're just saving the best one for last
. However, the fact remains that it's 13 months if it were me I would do the following:
1) apply for new PCC just in case it's requested again
2) gather the information that is asked for in the PP request, these are:
a) New passport photos with a white background and follow the size specifications (don't have it with me now but you can easily download)
To the back of one photo, you should place your name, your date of birth the place where it was taken and the date it was taken.
b) download schedule A and start to fill it out and update it to when you were 18 years old
C) download the additional family form and update it if necessary
D) create a draft cover letter for your PP submission
E) if your passport/s is soon to expire you can apply to have it/them renewed
F) if you're from a visa exempt country you can make a copy/ies of the Bio data page/s for you and each person accompanying you
G) make a copy of your RPRF receipts
H) when they send the request they will send a letter with a form to be filled out, its easy so don't worry about this now
F) they will ask you to send a legal size envelope with your submission in a return airway bill, but also don't worry about this now, it's easy....your courrier will know exactly what to do.
The reason I'm suggesting you gather these items is in the event they request your passport today you can go to submit tomorrow.
Secondly, I would send 2 emails, one email to the visa office where your file current is held (Rome) and another to the general enquiry (CIC website)....outline all you just mentioned and be factual, when you applied, medical request dates and submissions, and that their website says that applications are completed in 13 months and yours is at this point and PCC's will expire etc. In the body of your email, for them to reply, will still take a while but they will give more detail, you must write you full name (principal applicant), application # or UCI # and Date of Birth.
Thirdly, if you have a number for the Rome office or if you live close to the High Commission, Call them or even go to the high commission office. Generally, if you go you will only be allowed to speak with security, but leave a message at the front desk and it will be sent up.
I hope these suggestions help
Best of luck es.
