Hi T7,

plz check this info,


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.


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".

This is for assessment of a Federal Skilled Worker application.  Experience, Qualifications, Adaptability (family in Canada, previous study or work in Canada), Qualitative - perhaps settlement funds. 

These assessment terms are not used for family class applications.

Hi guys,

I'm confusing and let me ask a Q pls.
If someone had hapatitisB, is it problem for his PR application by spousal sponsorship?

Any respond by highly appreciated,
Thanks!!!

Hi,

I just paid my fees earlier to sponsor my spouse total: $1040. I'm just wondering cause the receipt I got didn't have a label copy 2 in it. But it states there "Official Receipt" and it has a bar code with with a 10 character code that starts with an R.

Maybe some of you guys had the same thing or maybe different receipt?

Thank you!

[magpie]

How you described it,  it is the receipt.  The 10 digit number is your receipt number.

From what I understand and from what I was told by CIC that the spouse you sponsor can not be refused because of medical reasons.

Thanks your sharing info!

From what I understand and from what I was told by CIC that the spouse you sponsor can not be refused because of medical reasons. 

Spouses cannot be refused for medical reasons causing excessive financial demand on the Canadian healthcare system.  They can be refused for medical reasons that they determine cause a danger to the public health or a danger to the public safety.

Thank rjessome,
 
This was reasonable answer,so do you think Hepatitis B is a danger either to the public health or the public safety?

I got this answer based on what others have in the past hope it helps


"Here is what the DMP Handbook states:

Question 8: HEPATITIS

When there is a history of hepatitis, the details from the applicant should include the date and type of hepatitis.

Note: If the applicant is NOT excessive demand exempt, then the results of serum AST and ALT should be provided. If these are abnormal, then a specialist's report including hepatitis C antibodies and hepatitis B surface antigen should be provided.

So if it is not a spousal/dep child sponsorship, the results be evaluated to determine if there will be "excessive demand" on medical services for the continuing and future treatment.

PMM"
