Its Regional Police.. after reading a few messages I am wondering if the PCC from Canada takes a few weeks and not an hour??ak_indi said:
By the way, is PCC same as Criminal Background Check listed on http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=085c83cf89870410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD&vgnextchannel=90168fb738780410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD
for Canadian PCC...the Police Verification Must be from RCMP...NOT Regional Police...(the mistake I was going to make but I found this in CIC website)Felixo said:

Dear Honorable John McCallum
and Clerk of CIMM (for distribution to all committee members on the next meeting):
Mr. McCallum
To be honest I have a very slim hope that you will read my email, nor even receiving a response. But I am still writing to you anyway. You are either too busy with your parliamentary and ministerial roles, or letters from concerned citizens can never pass through the filter readers at your constituency offices.
You are too busy touring around the country for national consultation on immigration that you don’t even have time to listen to what and where the real concerns are. You have hold the Minister title for 7 months now and under your watch, here is one of the painful truths! People lie. Numbers don't.
This same status that states “IRCC is processing parental sponsorship applications received on or before November 4, 2011” has been on the official website for more than 2 years, long before the federal election, and long after the federal election, till today. Is anyone working as IRCC management, and the CIMM committees aware of this? The number implies that IRCC is still delaying parental sponsorship for at least 5 years, despite the election promises that family reunification is now your number one priority. Nothing has changed. Absolutely no improvements. Liberals are all about empty promises, aren’t you? Putting that date for years on the website doesn’t make anyone at Minister’s Office feel ashamed because it is a good shield for their inefficiency, so people cannot contact IRCC to follow up on cases status.
Since 2014, the parental sponsorship category has already been capped for annual intake quotas, 5,000-10,000 PER YEAR. Sadly, Government of Canada continues to look at senior immigrants as social burdens, neglecting the fact that if the parents get to come earlier in their productive years they could have worked longer, and contributed into the national tax revenues. FYI, the processing time for parents sponsorship of American citizens is 12 months end-to-end, as opposed to minimum 5 year wait in Canada. Let alone the very obvious situation of nationality preferences in our Canadian system, where some specific races or nationalities are receiving the expedited processing time compared to other parts of the world. Canadian version of parental sponsorship is miserably failed in most aspects: humanity, efficiency, administration, etc. We have an immigration system where government officials can say anything they want on the website, false stats, false dates, misleading promises, without being held accountable by the Parliament. Those working at Minister’s Office, namely Chief of Staff, or Directors of Operations, those who get big paychecks funded by taxpayers are clueless about the process, clueless about immigration policies, and only there to deal with media inquiries for the interests of the department, absolutely helpless toward fixing the broken systems and all the people affected.
Do you even acknowledge and understand what I am talking about, Honorable John McCallum? I am saying all the shining reports that you get from your staff, the concept of “copying what we have done for Syrian refugees” so all family classes can be processed much faster, are all hoax, untrue, unreal and foolish.
You have been misled yourself, sir.
Regards,

I very much resonate with this. Since date of Nov 2011 is on their website, despite calling various times to CIC, they are not willing to take a peek at our pending cases. But we can at-least strive to make a change. Let's sign a petition for urgent solution by signing in hundreds/thousands.mrwestjet said:
Since no correspondence in my case from CIC and they don't give me any info on phone, I requested GCMS notes which have arrived. Does anyone know if there is a guide somewhere to make sense of these notes specifically in parents sponsorship case??
I agree...I feel & I can not agree more on this.Ibaadat said:
However, do you know how many petitions with hundreds and thousands of signatures are lying with politicians.
I understand the idea that even dropping a small stone in pond would create some waves at-least.
But, my friend, this pond where politicians live, dried up long ago. Its now merely an empty withered land full of pebbles of petitions.
:-X :-X
All we have to do is to ask for credentials, of their past achievements, when electing/hiring them.
