yes the security check comes at the end of the process . and then when its clear they ask for the passport to stamp the visa on. No one knows how long the security check takes. might take one month up to few months depends on your travel history and military service if u have been to any.mamado said:is the security checks the last step before asking the passport ? ( i think ), and how long long does it take ? , because my file recently has been sent back to Cairo vo from Ottawa .
and has anybody been having a trouble checking the online application statues ? , it says :
We were not able to identify you using the information you provided .
for the online statues yea i have been having trouble signing in and lots of other members. so i guess its a system error,
Good luck
