In the case I know the person went directly to the office. The document was taken for further review by their support office, and after a few days he got an answer that it was accepted... So probably depends on the agent you talk to and how much they want to push for you. But anyway if your appointment letter was issued in August and you get your COPR in August too, it doesn't matter much because in both cases you would be eligible in November. Just make sure you open your file before September 14 as they can't go back more than 15 days after the opening of the file to start counting your 3 months...
Yeah looks like the agent doesn't want to consider it. Thanks for the info again regarding cut off - 14th of the month though we really plan to go ramq office right after the landing interview appointment.

Hey profiler!

I just talked to the agent and was able to find out they started my security check in July 4th 2017..

I saw DM on my sponsor side at sometime 20ish of June 2017.

They started my security check so slow!!

Does it usually take 3-6 months...???
You only lived in Canada/South Korea?

Yeap...

Came to Canada in 2006 when I was 15 by myself as a student lol...well, I visited thailand and china for less than 2 weeks...
So, they will have no trouble in Canada/SK/China to establish who you are -- this would be reasonably fast. The thing that can introduce delay is Thailand, and their relationship with Canadian intelligence. Also all the political "Trumpugees", and the present refugee security backlog.

I would guess it would be done in about a month.

That's very interesting. Do they contact countries that I visited before as a tourist? I don't remember declaring anywhere the list of countries I visited before.

It's within their pervue. If they think it's significant, they will. They need to be thorough to make sure that they don't have someone that another country might want -- and someone that could be a risk to Canadian society. This is the ultimate question they are answering. However thorough they need to be is up to them. But yes, they will contact every place you have visited to see if they "know" you.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a June 2016 applicant and received SA/ AIP on May 24th 2017...

Haven't had any update since then...

Thanks!

Hello good/patient people.
Once again patience has paid off. I have just received my landing appointment at Montreal office :D:D:D
Thanks everyone for valuable information. This forum made it really easy for me to be patient. Never called CIC, never asked for GCMS notes, never contacted MP.
So..here is my story:
Application received August 2016
OWP received November 2016
CSQ received January 2017
Medical passed June 2017
Decision Made (both sides) 13 July 2017
SA received 17 July 2017
Landing Appointment email received 18 August 2017
LANDING: 24 AUGUST 2017 :D:D:D

Once again I thank everybody. I wish good luck and patience who are still waiting.
