Hi Qorax

I would really appriciate your expert advice as I searched almost entire forum and internet but could not get information on what I am looking for.

I got work permit in December 2012 for a year which will expire on 18th December(this month) I applied for PR in march 2012 and my application considered eligible under "arranged Employement"...On july 20th i also got a request to submit rprf fees, medical and for which I return to my home country as sending passport in or out of india considered illegal. I sent all those requested documents on 17 august...it has been more than 3 months and i still have not got my passport back with visa...i send them case specific enquiry and got a reply saying "backgrond checks are still pending and can not finalise my case as of now".

my concern is in 2 weeks my work permit will expire and and to consider my application valid under "arranged employment" I need to have my TRV valid....unfortunately my employer does not want to process my lmo now will I get rejection if chc asked to extend my TRV and i would not be able to do so. Also I want you to know without Arranged employment also I score 67 passing points.


please do reply

Dear Qoras,

I need help with some questions. My timeline is on the left under m profile.

First of all, are there people in this forum applying from the USA that have the work permit or visa expiring soon, and still have not heard anything from CIC?

I live and work in the US on work permit and it is about to expired in January and i have not heard anything from CIC on my application yet. Please, advise me what i can do because the work permit i have is not renewable, actually its an OPT (Optional Practical Training) which you received after graduation.
I have written several messages to CIC, but it seems like they are not even checking them. No response.

My question here is, has anybody been in the same situation, or heard of anybody in the same situation that was able to resolve the issue with CIC, and How? Please, i seek desperate answer.
Thanks

Very informative.......
Thank you very much for your guidelines and explanation about Background and Security check i really appreciated your effort. I just came from Abu Dhabi after attending my Selection Interview, my interview was good and after interview VO told me that you wait for your medical within 4 months, he had some concern with my qualification and experience and during interview he satisfied with my documents and also suggested to land in Spring Season.

My question is what is the stages of Background(Job,qualification) checks can i assume that my this part of background check is complete even though after my interview he gave all photocopies of documents(case files) that he had before the interview. can I assume that my first part Background Check(Documents,job,Qualification, POF) checks are complete and second stage of Background Check(Security Check) start.

Dear Qorex,

Could you please guide me what will be the next thing. Is concerned person being unavailable at time of call gives the bad impression.

For those who say enquiry doesnt happen after MR,PPR,RPRF its wrong I got enquiry call few days ago.

CIC called my past employer hopefully to enquire about me but the concerned person was unavailable. Receptionist answered the call and tried to transfer inside and found concerned person not in office. They said we will call back tomorrow, Its been 3 days my past employer has not received any call as yet.

Does this mean my application is kept aside for later enquiry, what would be the next step. I am very scared about it dont wanna delay applicant further.

Dear Qorax

I am a pre50 FSW applicant (2006). I received a request for updated police cert + meds + Right of Permanent Residence Fee + copies of passport pages a few weeks ago and last week they asked for my height and eye color. Does this mean all security checks are done? will I be called for my visa anytime soon?

Thanks a lot for your help

Dear Qorax,
It is the time to thank you so much for your skilled analysis and experienced opinions. On August 27, you replied to my question in regard to the long delay in my application. You expected that around Dec-12 my file would come out of the 'wait-queue' & it's processing would recommence reconsidered for processing.
Yes, it is happening now after 15 months of accepting the MD, and after 12 months of paying the visa fees. The VO has just called to coordinate a date for an interview after the holidays. What do you think in such situation?? What are the main motives for such interview at this stage of my application?? What would be the type of questions?? Is there any way that the outcome would be negative and refusing the application??
Regards,
Q
