Can u tell me what is the next step after PER&AOR.

How much time more for PR?

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 1-8*
months, for the 'fast track'
system (Avg. 2-4
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
CSISInterpol, 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.
The Process in a Nutshell:
Mainly for Delhi V O 1 to 3
months
Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send
Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS >
Qualitative Check +
Eligibility check>
Issue of PER/NER >
Stage-2: (15 to 40 days)
Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received
by
Visa Office" > document
Check > Issue of 2nd AOR >
stage -3: ( 1 to 4 mnts)
Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request
[if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "IN Process" > Send Addnl.
Docs >
Stage -4 (10 to 60 days) Issue of Med Request + PPR + Rf > 2nd
BF'D > 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-5: (15 -60 days ) Return of 'Stamped'
Passport/s+COPR > Landing at POE.
