That's done in CIO-NS, yes b/g checks will be conducted after that, in the CHC.

HI....
SIR thanks alot for ur reply... i m Pre-june applicant.....i think for us Routine BG checks are to be done in CHC when file is found OK.....am i rite or wwrong?

[ovais]

i got mail from LVO which states 'please b advised tht a letter requesting for further information will be sent to u shortly'
any idea wht it might b all about?
i recieved my GCMS a few days back and it was mentioned mentioned in it tht NOA is not located for the relative in canada. so i replied tht i am ready to provide the NOA if it is required. NOA is the Notice of Assessment for tax purposes as per my understanding.
do u think tht the further information required pertains to this NOA or there might b somethin else?
do u think tht the process is still on track?
do u think tht part of BGC are complete like eligibility assessment and they require some more information to be sure of the points awarded thereof.
regards

Dear Qorax,

First of all thank you for your all outstanding support, i have one question i hope you will reply promptly. I am December 2010 applicant, ordered my GCMS last month what i can see they have completed Eligiblity, Criminality and Admissiblity.. but when my file is still in proces.. i approach MP office so they told me my BG checks are undergoing.. i wonder what else remains in BG checks? and how long will it take.. she said they have forwarded BG check queries to International Agencies and now CIC is waiting for their response. I am originally from Pakistan and i have never been to country other than Canada and its clear from my GCMS they haven't touch my file since December 12, 2011.. does that mean they started BG checks in last December? any idea on average how long does this BG check process take...

I will really appreciate your reply.

Thanks.

Thank you for your helpful information but what about the length of time for the thorough background checks and can some people receive refusal after waiting all this time and doing medicals / RPRF

Warm Regards .....

You are welcome.

There is no time limit to such BG check. Let's say you are from a village in some place like a tribal area of Pakistan and they send an official letter to the chief of security there.  The chief there may be throwing all the regular mail he receives in a dirt hole because he has more important things to do (just like Canadian immigration and consular section employee of New York Visa Office when you send them an inquiry).
So, guess what? Unless hired by CIC entity that does BG gets the response and sends it to CIC you will be stuck.

In some cases they are plain lazy or the CIC officer in charge is a pure bigot and refuses to finalize your case because he doesn't like how your name sounds when pronounced. He may claim "BG check not finished"  forever.
Again, if this is the case then you are once again out of luck. Unless many years pass and you take it to high court and have court force them to rule on it nothing will happen.
Very costly, stressful solution there.

So, in another words, welcome to reality (aka as Canada).

Thank You for Your Valuable and Realistic Information ......

You are very welcome.

Basically same BS you are coming from you can apply to Canada and get the picture.
The CIC bureaucrats have no greater competence or zeal for work than their Pakistani counterparts, with only difference being in Pakistan you can probably give few goats in exchange for expedited processing of your inquiry but in Canada only highly positioned crooks can afford bribing officials and get them do their bidding fast (which they nicely call "lobbying" for "interests").

Good luck.

Hi qorax,

I PM you this question but I didn't get any reply... Please advise.

We just received our passports with Visa which is valid until Nov 3, 2012.   My passports and one of my dependent will be less than six months valid by the time of our landing.  Will the visa on the old passport still be valid if we renew the passports before landing?  Do we have to send the new passports again to CIC for visa stamping?

Please... please... I need your advise.  I emailed SGVO but they never reply.

Renewing passport doesn't mean your visa's on old passport will expire, you can renew your passport and still can use old one because visa is stamped on it... when you renew your passport in your country's embassy/consulate they will staple new and old passport together and will tell you to use both as long as your visa is valid... hope it helps.

Usually that e-Cas signifies that ur b/g & security checks stand completed... and ur PPR would be arriving anyday.
-Obviously it also means that ur meds r cleared.
