Who waiting for MR for more than 8 months. Please join here

[baboo_pr]

MP's office updated me in only 2 hours!!!!

I ordered GCMS just few days ago.
However, I have to wait 30 days.

Actually, last summer my MP visited me while he visit door to door in my town for election.
He left his contact and said 'When you need help call my office, please'.
So, yesterday I contacted MP's office and signed for consent form and
they came back to me in 2 hours.
One of my friend who recently got PR said if the applicant live in Canada then MP's office could do that.

However, MP's office says,,,
,,,they (CIC) are conducting background checks at present.
There is a bring forward date for them to review the file of December 26.
They do not always look at the file on the exact date, so
they tell us to wait 30 days from that date before following up.

Then it sounds like I might get something like MR in Jan, or Feb.

I'm surprised so quick answer through MP's office.
I'm sure when I get Citizenship I'll vote for him.^^.
I wish it helps you guy.

Stay warm and take care.

Thanks for the information. Appreciate it. I thought background check will start after Elig passed. i.e. order is as below
Elig passed->MR sent->Background check+Medical result check->PPR->COPR

But again this is based on my observation on this forum. No doubt CIC functioning is a blackbox for most applicants, unless they work for CIC themselves !

I think your problem is the LOE with Indian address. I have seen some other cases in this forum with the same issue and the VO sent it for second review.

Thank you.. I've sent an updated letter of employment to CIC two days ago.. CIC sent me an email today dat my file is updated with the letter.. happy dat they acknowledged..

I sent an updated employment letter one month ago. However, I did not receive any reply from them. In GCMS notes, it said the letter was received.

What do you mean by updated employment letter.
Did you add any additional duties???

Yes. I let my boss clarify other duties in the new letter, since I only gave one duty in the old one.

Just send it. You will be good. They are aware that we don't mention all the duties in the letter.

I said my old one was not detailed enough.

I found some article form 2012 article by Civil <Back ground check>.
=============================================
I copy this information from another Fourm .The information provided by QORAX one of the VIP members :

Background & Security Checks

Note: Our Background Check comprises of 2 parts:
1. The Standard Documentation Checks,
2. The Security & Criminality Checks.

Standard Documentation Checks:
Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress". All docs been checked & our NOC being tallied against the MI, if the VO finds our case 'eligible' for Canadian PR, the file becomes 'Accepted'; and then it goes for standard background checks, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc. The VOs have a way with that, they are experienced enough to ascertain the logical disposition of our case. But, if there are any concerns of his/her, s/he is likely to ask for additional docs, do further scrutiny vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 3-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.
*The older system has a queue, thus can be longer.

Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; vis-a-vis, Political, Socio-Econmical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc. This gets us the SDEC, CDEC & SECCRIM.

This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the No. of countries visited, Applicant coming from 'certain' countries, ex-Servicemen [including Law Enforcement services], Prolonged stay in a country w/out sufficient docs to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations, your *Name (?), Inter-Religion/Nationality Marriages etc.

If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage. If there are any 'red flags', our case goes into a 'spin'. Then our file might go to the local Police/CID agencies; the outcome/timeframe of which is beyond the control of CIC. And thereby the timeframe can be anything [sometimes beyond 1yr]. But, usually this stage should be over by 5 months max. However, a point to be noted is that we can also be called for an Interview [at this stage], due to this reason.

-Culmination: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. [With new system, sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds]
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.

*Yes, that's how a certain Mr. Sharukh Khan was detained for 4.5 hrs in an US port. He was a VIP, thus 4.5 hrs. For u & me -things could be different.
...
The Process in a Nutshell:

Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >

Stage-3: Meds Sent > e-Cas: "Medical Results Recd." > Issue of PPR* > Send Passport/s > Security Check > Visa/s Stamped > e-Cas: "Decision Made" >
*The Meds & PPR are sometimes 'clubbed' together.

Stage-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".

if you don't mind...which month you applied ! I too contacted my MP, but he didn't disclose most of the things he knew. He just told me an officer will review my file which i knew already. For me I just wasted my time going to the MP's office ...

Just email your MP, and their assistant will help you. No need to go to the office
