Job Change while background check in process - experts, please comment.

[threshold]

I had completed Medicals and RPRF payment in Feb 2009. In response to my enquiry, CIC informed me that my case is waiting for further review and background check.

I resigned my job in Saudi Arabia and took up a job in Qatar in Feb 2009. At present I am in India on a 3 month vacation. The address for communication remains unaffected as I had given my permanent home address in India.

The location of current job in the document update was given as Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My residence permit in Saudi Arabia expires in May 2009. I am working in Qatar on a business-visit Visa.

Do I need to update them (CIC) about the change of job and location?

Will it be a problem if I am not available in KSA during the background checks and employment verification?

Will it delay the process if i inform them about my new job and country of residence?

The time line is as follows
Category – FSW
Visa Office – London
AOR – July 2006
Document Update – Oct 2008
Medicals and RPRF – Feb 2009

What I think is the vacation travel to your home country will not affect the BC or the processing time. Once you  have changed the country  of your residency, you should inform it to the visa office. Perhaps, what could happen  is that once you submit the PP for visa, the Visa Office could detect the fact that you were in Qatar.  This may (?)  cause further delay in stamping visa.  As you are employed and presently managing with your current engagement, I suggest why not go straight  and true with CIC and give feed backs of your current residency status.
Good luck.
